Setup

App

• Clone the respository
• Open the project in your IDEA
• Run flutter pub get in the project root
• Open the functions/functions folder and npm install
• Setup the Firebase, enable Authentication with Google, enable hosting, enable functions, enable firestore database
• Follow the Firebase base instructions to get firebase cli commands running from the /functions folder
• I've written 2 bash scripts to assist with flutter building and deploying of the web app, as well as deploying the functions to Firebase functions, both need to be exectuble to run
  • ./deploy_web.sh
  • ./deploy_functions.sh
• Once all setup (and hoping I havent missed a beat) you should be ready to run the app on an emulator of your choice.
