RnFireChat-functions

RnFireChat-functions is the 5th session build for showing the implementation of Firebase for building a Chat app; both Chat Room and p2p along with serverless function for push notification which works in transition to this repository:

RN-firechat

Installation

To use Functions, you need to install Firebase command line tools using npm so do install node.js Then, install Firebase CLI

$ npm install -g firebase-tools

Now, Clone the source locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/aryaminus/RN-firechat-functions
$ cd RN-firechat-functions

Install node modules:

$ cd functions
$ npm install

Login and deploy:

$ firebase login
$ firebase deploy --only functions:sendNotification

Else To initialize your project:

Run firebase login to log in via the browser and authenticate the firebase tool.
Go to your Firebase project directory.
Run firebase init functions. The tool gives you an option to install dependencies with npm. It is safe to decline if you want to manage dependencies in another way.

After these commands complete successfully, your project structure looks like this:

myproject
 +- .firebaserc    # Hidden file that helps you quickly switch between
 |                 # projects with `firebase use`
 |
 +- firebase.json  # Describes properties for your project
 |
 +- functions/     # Directory containing all your functions code
      |
      +- package.json  # npm package file describing your Cloud Functions code
      |
      +- index.js      # main source file for your Cloud Functions code
      |
      +- node_modules/ # directory where your dependencies (declared in
                       # package.json) are installed

Now, Clone the source locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/aryaminus/RN-firechat-functions
$ cd RN-firechat-functions

Then copy the files inside RN-firechat-functions/functions/index.js to myproject/functions/index.js

To deploy and execute:

$ firebase deploy --only functions:sendNotification
