My Week In Meetings

This repo hosts the firebase cloud functions for the project.

This is the repro for the UI.

Maybe later, we can start using a monorepo and use Firebase Hosting for our deployment.

Managing Environments

We have to use Firebase alias to switch between our environments.

You can do that by firebase use development

Here development is our alias for our dev version hosted at http://my-week-in-meetings.now.sh

The default environment is meant for local development (localhost). Note: The app client used for Google Sign-In will only allow localhost:3000 – the google sign in script will only load on this web address.

But you have get the

  • client_id
  • client_secret
  • javascript_origins

set up as your environment configuration for the cloud functions.

The env.sh automates it for you when deploy your cloud functions.

But what if you want to run your functions locally using the firebase shell.

We have created a .runtimeconfig.json. It contains the oAuth client for Google Sign In used to develop our firebase application locally.

Creating New Environments

There are quite a few things to be done when you have to create a new environment.

  • A new firebase project

    • you need to create different firebase projects for different environments. it is necessary to isolate the data and the services for each environment

  • Create Google Sign In OAuth Client

    • Important: The oAuth Client needs to be associated with the firebase project you created above. Otherwise during sign up, you will receive an error like

    • Invalid Idp Response: the Google id_token is not allowed to be used with this application. Its audience (OAuth 2.0 client ID) is XXXXX-XXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com, which is not authorized to be used in the project with project_number: XXXXX.

  • Make sure you have turned on Google as an allowed sign in option in your Firebase project's Authentication

  • TODO: Note down how to verify and add url on which the calendar webhook will post

Notes

Aggregation

while aggregating events we filter out the events matching the following criteria

  • the user has explicitly declined the event
  • there are no other attendees in the event apart from the user

The events collection though, contains all events.

Similar criteria for filtering is applied in the UI when time left for work is enquired.
