firebase-tools VS firebase-admin-node

And it seems to deploy on first try, but then I got a loop error. Turns out after posting a bug, and getting sent to GitHub, this is a known issue when deploying to Cloud Functions. The fix is to edit your server.ts file, and don't use the process.env['PORT'] variable, as it apparently is already in use.

See issue.

No, just JS. Have you tried this?

In this example, I am using NX monorepo. I have my Angular Universal as one application and cloud functions as another application. If you don’t use NX or even some time has passed since publishing this blog post, you may want to visit Integrate web frameworks with Hosting from Firebase, however, there is an existing issue on Unable to detect the web framework in use when using angular app within nx monorepo.

Support for Sveltekit SSR has been added https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/5158

// https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/1532 if (admin.apps.length === 0) { admin.initializeApp() } export const deleteAllUserJobs = functions.https.onCall(async (context: functions.https.CallableRequest) => { const uid = context.auth?.uid if (uid === undefined) { throw new functions.https.HttpsError("unauthenticated", "You need to be authenticated to perform this action") } const firestore = admin.firestore() const collectionRef = firestore.collection(`/users/${uid}/jobs`) const collection = await collectionRef.get() logger.debug(`Deleting ${collection.docs.length} docs at "/users/${uid}/jobs"`) // transaction version await firestore.runTransaction(async (transaction) => { for (const doc of collection.docs) { transaction.delete(firestore.doc(`/users/${uid}/jobs/${doc.id}`)) } }) logger.debug(`Deleted ${collection.docs.length} docs at "/users/${uid}/jobs"`) return {"success": true} })

This should be supported via our built-in NextJS support https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/frameworks/nextjs if you have troubles with this functionality, please file a bug over on github https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools

Now that app directory is stable, we support it. Keep an eye on the firebase-tools changelog, we've actively working on things. https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/releases

The Firebase CLI, check out the release notes

Google has an Edge Network, but they push serverless functions like Cloud Run, which is also what version 2 of Firebase Cloud Functions use. Firebase Functions need a Version 3, which is built on the Edge. However, first Firebase, specifically firebase-admin would need to work on the edge. Google, who makes Angular, might then be able to compete better for deployment options. Cold Starts are terrible and should die IMHO, unless you have have specific use cases for them.

There's a lot of different ways to skin this cat, the easiest would be to use a client library like firebase storage to upload the photo directly and you can get an image url from that to use. If you are trying to send it your own API, then you probably want to set up a multipart http request to attach the image and then with your admin storage library of choice to upload the image. I have done the second one before with ktor and firebase admin sdk .

Hi, I've recently gave supabase a shot to as an alternative to firebase because I needed SQL. One thing that I've struggled with from the start is that supabase seems to ignore backends completely.

I don't want to use supabase edge functions, since I want to keep it simple with a single express backend and don't want to be vendor-locked.

In firebase, the Admin SDK https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup solves this, but seems to be missing in supabase. For example, for a simple JWT verification, I had to go to old github issues, rather than finding the answer in the docs. https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues/491#issuecomment...

IMO, the best supporting runtime for firebase would either be nodejs or flutter. Along with firebase admin, you could technically fullstack JS/TS and have better-than-average support for the firebase ecosystem (e.g. NextJS for frontend/apis, react native for mobile). However, it doesn't mean you can't use .NET with firebase.

Without looking too far into errors other people had, it seemed like it had to do with syncing clocks (what a strange error) - the problem could go away if you reissue a different service account key from the console or sync your local clock(???)

The one thing I was missing for my latest experiment was a reliable way to authenticate users and allow them access to their profile. There are other services that can be easily integrated but they can get quite expensive. Firebase on the other hand has a good free quota; perfect for this use case so I started by installing the Firebase Admin SDK. But alas the admin sdk has some dependencies on nodejs which are not included in the workers/functions runtime. 🤦‍♂️
