Development

H-IDE Backend

Firebase emulators

Refer the following documentations on how to run firebase emulators locally

Firebase CLI, Auth emulator setup, Firestore emulator setup, Storage emulator setup

Caddy

Since H-IDE uses Typesense as a search engine together with Firestore extension, it is crucial to proxy the local Typesense server on https, current setup uses Caddy to do just that.

Make sure the following variable is set in the current environment to the path where Caddy stores the local root certificate.

NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS

Emulate

Run firebase emulators

npm run emulate

Start the H-IDE Client

npm run dev

Sequence

Since the local firebase emulators (including the extensions emulator for typesense) depends on the availability of the local typesense server, it is recommended to start the the local typesense service first, before running the firebase emulators.

Once all the firebase emulators are up, all H-IDE backend services can be stopped/started normally.

This is to ensure that Firestore and the Typesense extension for firebase can both work correctly while developing.
