Deploy Firebase Cloud Function

We will deploy the cloud function in the folder Cloud Function to the Firebase Cloud Function, this Cloud Function is used to handle any server side logic, such as create livestream Room, handle payment, send notification, gift, or any server side logic that is needed to run the MeeGo Live app, this Cloud Function is just Node.js project with Typescript, let's proceed to deploy it.

Step No.1 Set up Node.js and the Firebase CLI

You'll need a Node.js, and you'll need the Firebase CLI to deploy functions to the Cloud Functions runtime.

• Install Node.js and Npm

Once you have Node.js and npm installed, install the Firebase CLI via your preferred method. To install the CLI via npm, use:

npm install -g firebase-tools

• after installing Node Js, and Firebase Cli we will initialize our firebase cloud

Step No.2 Initialize Firebase Cloud Function Project

Open terminal in folder, /Cloud Function if you use Windows open it with CMD

• inside that folder type

firebase init

• if this is your first time using the firebase cloud function, chances are you will be asked to login first, authenticate using the firebase account that you created the project

• after that, you'l be asked if you ready to proceed, type Y and then enter

• after that you will have to choose what features to activate by pressing the space bar, activate the features below
  • Firestore,
  • Functions,
  • Storage
  • Realtime Databases

after the feature is selected, press Enter

• after that, select Use an Existing project -> enter

• choose the project we just created -> enter

• Next if it ask you "What file should be used for Firestore Rules?", just press enter

warning

if the question wants to overwrite the file, choose No or N, because if you choose yes, the file will be lost and you will have to copy it again, from Zip MeGooLive

• type N and then Enter

warning

again, the question wants to overwrite the file, choose N or no

• for the questions below, just leave it blank, just press enter

warning

again, the question wants to overwrite the file, choose N or no

• for the question Initialize or Overwrite, choose Overwrite, because we will overwrite the file

• choose Typescript (new update with typescript support)

warning

choose no in the questions below,

warning

again, the question wants to overwrite the file, choose N or no

warning

again, the question wants to overwrite the file, choose N or no

info

now you can choose yes, because the question wants to install dependencies

• for the questions below, just leave it blank, just press enter

warning

again, the question wants to overwrite the file, choose N or no

• After all that, our Firebase Cloud Functions have been successfully initialized. Next, we will create the .env file.

Step No.3 Create .Env File

Our .env file will contain the necessary url for our livestreaming app

Open the folder Cloud Function in VSCode, and open file /functions/.env.example

• create new file .env, and copy the content of the file .env.example, and paste it to the file .env.

We will fill each of the variabler later, but for now, we will deploy the Cloud Function to Firebase

Step No.4 Deploy the Cloud Function to Firebase

Now to deploy the Cloud Function to Firebase, we will use the command below, make sure you are in the folder Cloud Function

firebase deploy

• if you get an error, try to run the command again, sometimes firebase will throw an error if you run it for the first time
