Deployment to Firebase (pod deploy firebase)

[Rajan]

We need a system that will replace all the axios calls with firebase CRUD embedded in the web pages. The goal is to turn our local SQLite based system into Firebase based system in the cloud.

We could create a command like below which runs a shell script to accomplish the task.

pod deploy firebase

I've created the fbase branch where we can replace all axios calls with firebase calls and make it work without using local API. Later we can diff and patch using a shell script.

The problem with creating a separate branch manually and pushing changes is that it'd always lag behind and we'll have trouble merging code all the time. So, It's better to just create a command that does following:

• Create the fbase branch
• Switches to fbase branch
• Replaces Axios calls with Firebase calls
• Commits changes to fbase branch

Now, we don't need to start the local API server and the Vuejs code will directly work with firebase.

As we have discussed regarding replacing axios calls for fbase deployment, I've setup switch case for local db/fbase calls for now to make dev easier.

just curious. Here instead of writing switch cases or any sort of hard logic, will it be better if adapter pattern is used instead? We can probably create a general interface that has methods like login, signup, addPost, fetchPost etc that can be injected into our main vue. By this different services can be written for firebase, local backend etc that implements this interface that can be injected to the client. Also by doing this , instead of hard cording in the code, we can use environment/config variables with webpack/bundler to properly inject the required service into the client . I think this can also make extension easier , that is working other backend logics like lambda/dynamodb etc.

@khubo Agreed. Can you contribute this part?

[khubo]

@Rajan sure, I would love to. can this wait till weekend ?

[Rajan]

sure @khubo

[Rajan]

@khubo I think this can wait as we have got a lot more features to be built out. Let's try to keep the code as simple as possible for now.
