1. Clone this repo

Clone or download this repo and open the quickstarts/big-ben directory.

2. Create a Firebase project and configure the quickstart

Create a Firebase Project on the Firebase Console.

Set up your Firebase project by running firebase use --add, select your Project ID and follow the instructions.

3. Install the Firebase CLI

You need to have installed the Firebase CLI, and it always helps to be on the latest version. Run:

npm install -g firebase-tools

Doesn't work? You may need to change npm permissions.

First you need to install the npm dependencies of the functions:

cd functions && npm install; cd ..

Start serving your project locally using firebase serve

Open the app in a browser at https://localhost:5000/.

A page containing a repeated number of "BONG" - One for each hour of the day - will be displayed.

You can click on the Refresh button which will call the API by doing an XHR to /api and refresh the "BONG" display on the page.

First you need to install the npm dependencies of the functions:

cd functions && npm install; cd ..

This installs locally the Firebase SDK and the Firebase Functions SDK.

Deploy to Firebase using the following command:

firebase deploy

This deploys and activates the bigben Function.

The first time you call firebase deploy on a new project with Functions will take longer than usual.

After deploying the function you can open the following URL in your browser:

https://<your-project-id>.firebaseapp.com/bigben

A page containing a repeated number of "BONG" will be displayed.

We'd love that you contribute to the project. Before doing so please read our Contributor guide.
