Congratulations, you're leading the way! You'll create the backend infrastructure for this product.

You have just generated this codebase using mason. Change into the project's root directory and run:

make prepare

This:

• Prepares a local NodeJS environment for running Firebase emulators and running a Firestore rules test suite.
• Gets Dart pub dependencies.
• Runs the build_runner to generate freezed and json_serializable code.
• Creates a Firebase project with an Android and iOS app
• Runs flutterfire CLI to create firebase_options.dart file with the Firebase app's credentials.

firebase CLI does not yet have this functionality so this step cannot be automated in make prepare.

Go to https://console.firebase.google.com/project/net-startupworx-bloxtest10/authentication/providers.

Add and enable at least the following identity providers:

• Anonymous
• Email/Password

Optionally you can add, enable and setup the following supported providers:

• Google
• Apple

Until you add the optional providers, sign-in via these methods will fail.

This step requires upgrading the Firebase billing plan to "Blaze" (pay as you go) and therefore it cannot be automated (there is no CLI or API to do that).

Go to https://console.firebase.google.com/project/net-startupworx-bloxtest10/firestore/.

Click "Create database" and choose "production mode" (so that a closed rules set is used before we deploy our own rules). Choose a location to provision the cloud resources. Remember to note down the location as it is better to co-locate resources. Click "Enable".

Back in the project root, run:

make deploy-rules

Via IntelliJ / Android Studio / command line, build and run the flutter app on any kind of device.

An iOS simulator or Android emulator will work fine too.

Ignore errors in the Dart code, this references missing l10n code which will be generated when the app is built for the first time.

You're a new developer joining this product, welcome!

You've just cloned the codebase, changed into the project's root directory. All you need to do is run:

make prepare

This:

• Prepares a local NodeJS environment for running Firebase emulators and running a Firestore rules test suite.
• Gets Dart pub dependencies.

DON'T WORRY running make prepare will not attempt to recreate the backend infrastructure for this product (as we'll already have the appropriate Makefile stamps in .stamps/).
