SHPE @ UCF Back end Development

Open-source back end development for the SHPE UCF app and website.

Environment setup

Clone the repository and navigate to the project.

git clone https://github.com/SHPEUCF/shpeucfbackend.git
cd shpeucfbackend

Navigate to the functions folder and install the modules used.
```
cd functions
npm install
```
Install the Firebase CLI (command line interface).
```
npm -g install firebase-tools
```
Authorize the Firebase CLI.
```
firebase login
```
Your command line should give you a URL to sign in to your firebase console. Copy and paste the URL into your browser and sign in with the browser. Ask the tech directors for the login information.

Once you sign in successfully, you will get to a "Firebase CLI Login Successful" page. Woot woot! 🎉
Next, cd into the functions folder and run the following command to start your firebase emulator:
```
npm run serve
// shortcut for `npm run build && firebase emulators:start`
```
This will, in turn, run:
- npm run build: compiles the functions in the code to work with the emulator. It must be run after any changes to the code if you want those changes to be reflected on the emulator
- firebase emulators:start: starts the local emulator for firebase used to test the firestore After, you can view the status on your localhost.
