Personal API

This repository contains a Firebase-backed service I use to fetch and sync data for widgets on my personal website, www.chrisvogt.me.

How To Install

To install this project, first clone it.

# You can also fork the project and clone that
git clone git@github.com:chrisvogt/metrics.git

Then install the Firebase CLI and login to the project. You can use npm (below) or any of the other documented install methods.

# Install the `firebase` command using npm
# See the documentation for other ways to install it
npm install -g firebase-tools
# Login to Firebase
# You'll need access to the `personal-stats-chrisvogt` project
firebase login

Next, using the version specified in .nvmrc, navigate to /functions and install the package and its dependencies.

# Navigate to the /functions directory
cd functions
# Install dependencies
npm install

You'll also need to download an Admin SDK token and place it in the /functions directory, at /functions/token.json.

Finally, you can use the following command to download the secrets from Firebase. You'll need these to run any of the sync jobs. These belong in /functions/.runtimeconfig.json.

# Download and save secrets
firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json
# Starts the local server on port 5054
npm run serve

Usage

After installing, use the command npm run serve to run the local Firebase emulators on port 5054. If everything is working as expected then the following routes should become available.
