Firebase

Introduction

Details for Firebase implementation

Core Features

1. Member Management

   • Storage: Utilizes a Google sheets called MPRC members to store member names and email addresses. AppEngine runs script every 12 hours to update roles of members in a collection called members in Firestore.

2. Web Interfaces

   • Admin Page Route at runmprc.com/admin, this interface enables administrators to manage user data and general information.
   • Authentication The user login and signup portal, located at runmprc.com/login, facilitates login and signup.

3. Cloud Functionality

   • updateMemberRole: Dynamically adjusts member roles in Firestore based on an array of email addresses, assigning the “member” role.
   • createMemberOnSignUp: Integrates new user data into the Firestore members collection upon registration.

To Do

• Firebase Remote Config Integration
  • Considerations: This approach may introduce complexity due to dependencies on remote content retrieval, potentially complicating the static page content management.
• Need to build out pages for events, admin, and login.
• A function to annually reset member roles per year
• Secure the firebase functions and keep API key in an environment (.env) file
