This quickstart demonstrates using Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions setup with a Firebase database.
This sample app does two things:
- Create messages in the Firebase Realtime Database using a simple HTTPS request which is handled by an HTTPS Firebase Function. Writing to the Realtime Database is done using the Firebase Admin SDK.
- When a message gets added in the Realtime Database, a Firebase Function triggers and automatically makes these messages all uppercase.
To deploy and test the sample:
- Create a Firebase project on the Firebase Console
- Install the required dependencies by running
npm install
in thefunctions
directory - Deploy your project's code using
firebase deploy
- Create a message by opening the following URL in your browser: https://us-central1-[MY_PROJECT].cloudfunctions.net/addMessage?text=uppercaseme (Replace [MY_PROJECT] by your project ID and you can change the message "uppercaseme").
The function executes and redirects the browser to the Firebase console at the database location where the text string was stored. You should see your text value displayed in the console and uppercase.
We'd love that you contribute to the project. Before doing so please read our Contributor guide.
