This video is awesome. It stands out from previous ones by addressing common issues, such as having firebase-tools as a dependency among other things. Please don't forget about the promised video about using Express.
I've been using functions for a long time and learned so much during this video... Wish this had come out when I started w/ Firebase 🙂 More like this please
Eagerly waiting from complete video on cloud functions and express.js, also will be much appreciated if you could include the best practices and optimization. Thanks
Just a quick tip: If you want to use firestore your emulator port must be same as the function emulator port. In my case I was using the firebase-admin-sdk and the function port was 5000 & firestore emulator at 5001, so instead of the local emulator it directly push the data in the production firestore.
I was loving Python functions until they stopped working. I have a simple on_call function that just stops responding after an hour, then I have to re-deploy. All it does it calls an external API to fetch a small amount of data then retrieves a small amount of docs from Firestore. Maybe move to JS? p.s. Please change the shocking font in this demo. 😆
Who make the decision to use only lowercase? Who puts dashes in function names? It makes for a completely crazy migration path for v1 to v2. Essentially a rewrite.
I don't understand why you're using typescript. If you know typescript, you know JavaScript, but if you know JavaScript, you don't necessarily know typescript. So why not using JavaScript so this tutorial reaches a wider audience?
TypeScript its just a JS linter, which adds only fake types. If you ignore this part its pure JavaScript, so even if you dont know TS, you know what its going on.
