This repo hosts the server side Firebase Functions and the public website content.
Sticker making happens by opening html templates in Puppeteer, a headless Chrome and taking a screenshot. Most of this logic is in functions/makeSticker.js and templates are in functions/templates.
Specially during initial user testing, sometimes we want to upload a set of static images as stickers for a query. This is done using Python/cached_query_from_static.py.
The server endpoints are implemented in functions/index.js:
- /featured returns topic queries that we're currently user testing. (i.e.
2019 Women's World Cup) - /query returns at least one type of results (i.e.
newsArticle) for any query. - /sticker returns a base64 sticker image via stickerId.
- /alternatives returns alternative designs of a certain sticker.
TODO:
- extend
template.jswith more types
