Running locally

There's an odd limitation of the firebase-tools CLI that requires you to export your configuration locally first. Otherwise you'll get some nice untyped errors at runtime.

To do that first export your config:

firebase functions:config:get > functions/.runtimeconfig.json

Then run the local "emulator":

firebase serve --only functions

I like using ngrok to poke a tunnel into my NAT:

ngrok http 5000

Then point your Fulfilment link to your local endpoint which looks something like this: https://deadbeef.ngrok.io/carbon-intensity/us-central1/webhook

Deployment

cd functions
npm run deploy
