# Firestore Cloud Functions
This is code that doesn't make sense on the frontend client, e.g.
- Long-running or slow operation (database)
- Tasks that need to be run every so often (syncing email list to Mailjet)
- Anything we should't trust to clients (secrets, auth)
If you want to make and test changes, you'll have to do a bit of setup...
## Installing
Adapted from https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started
0. `$ cd functions` to switch to this folder
1. `$ yarn global add firebase-tools` to install the Firebase CLI globally
2. `$ yarn` to install JS dependencies
3. `$ firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json` to cache secrets for local dev (TODO: maybe not for Manifold)
4. `$ firebase use dev` to choose the dev project
## Developing locally
1. `$ firebase login` if you aren't logged into Firebase via commandline yet.
2. `$ yarn dev` to spin up the emulators
The Emulator UI is at http://localhost:4000; the functions are hosted on :5001.
Note: You have to kill and restart emulators when you change code; no hot reload =(
3. Connect to emulators by enabling `functions.useEmulator('localhost', 5001)`
## Debugging
- Find local logs directly in the shell that ran `$ yarn dev`
- Find deployed logs [here](https://console.firebase.google.com/project/mantic-markets/functions/logs?search=&&severity=DEBUG)
## Deploying
0. `$ firebase use prod` to switch to prod
1. `$ yarn deploy` to push your changes live!
(Future TODO: auto-deploy functions on Git push)
## Secrets management
Secrets are strings that shouldn't be checked into Git (eg API keys, passwords). We store these using [environment config on Firebase Functions](https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/config-env). Some useful workflows:
- Set a secret: `$ firebase functions:config:set stripe.test_secret="THE-API-KEY"`
- Preview all secrets: `$ firebase functions:config:get`
- Cache for local dev:`$ firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json`
