David in his repo:
https://github.com/davideast/react-ssr-firebase-hosting
has the file with firebase functions index.js
in the main root, not in the /functions
directory.
However, if I do the same and drop my index.js
file to main root, if I do firebase deploy --only functions
it says in the console:
i deploying functions
Error: functions\index.js does not exist, can't deploy Firebase Functions
Q: How is it possible that he made it work? How can I do the same and deploy successfully functions from other dir than /functions
?
Thanks
firebase.json
{
"hosting": {
"public": "build",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
],
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "**",
"function": "ssrapp"
}
]
},
"functions": {
"source": "/"
}
}
The project workspace that you create with the Firebase CLI contains a file called firebase.json that has a stanza for Cloud Functions that looks like this:
"functions": {
"predeploy": [
"npm --prefix $RESOURCE_DIR run lint"
],
"source": "functions"
}
That "source" property defines the name of the folder that contains the code that will run on Cloud Functions. You can change that to whatever you want.
