1. Creat a Flutter web project

flutter create --platforms=web .

1. Create a Firebase project

   • Go to console.firebase.google.com
   • Click on "Add project"

   • Once the project is created...

2. Enable hosting

   • Click on "Hosting" on the left navigation (on the Firebase project page)
   • Follow the instructions to install the Firebase CLI tools (if you don't already have them installed).
   • When running firebase init, choose Hosting and GitHub Action deploys.
   • When going through the configuration, set "public" to build/web.
   • Change the build command to flutter build web.

3. Update .github/workflows for Flutter

   • Update the two generated firebase-hosting- files to include Flutter setup:

   steps:
      # This has to come before `flutter bulid web`
      - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2.2.1
      with:
         # Defining the channel is optional - I'm using beta
         channel: beta
         # Setting cache is also optional, although this does speed up builds!
         cache: true
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
