How do you setup local environment variables for Cloud Functions for Firebase

Question

I\'m using http cloud functions to listen for a request and then return a simple message.

I\'m developing cloud functions locally using:

firebase se         


        

Answer 1

I am not sure if the top-rated answer works or not but for firebase function on mac (to-serve locally), I do something like this

npm run admin-keys && export dev=true && firebase emulators:start

Where admin keys is

"admin-keys": "export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS='./.keys/admin.keys.json'"

This will load configuration from .runtimeconfig.json

For production, you would manually have to set it by doing something like this

firebase functions:config:set facebookCred.secret="something"
