To create a RESTful API with Deno and Firebase as the database, you can follow these steps:
1. Setup the application: Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it.
2. Get credentials from Firebase: Navigate to your project in Firebase and click on Project Settings. Scroll down until you see a card with your app name, and a code sample that includes a
firebaseConfig object. It should look something like this:
Keep this handy. We will use it later.
3. Create a Project in Deno Deploy: Go to https://dash.deno.com/new (Sign in with GitHub if you didn’t already) and click on + Empty Project under Deploy from the command line. Now click on the Settings button available on the project page. Navigate to the Environment Variables section and add the following:
FIREBASE_USERNAME: The Firebase user (email address) that was added above.
FIREBASE_PASSWORD: The Firebase user password that was added above.
FIREBASE_CONFIG: The configuration of the Firebase application as a JSON string.
4. Write the application: Create a new file in your project directory, for example main.ts. In this file, you will write the code for your API. You will need to import the necessary Firebase modules, initialize your Firebase app with the credentials you obtained earlier, and then define your API endpoints. Here's a basic example:
```javascript
import { initializeApp } from "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.8.1/firebase-app.js";
import{ getFirestore } from "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.8.1/firebase-firestore.js";
const app = initializeApp({
apiKey: Deno.env.get("FIREBASE_API_KEY"),
authDomain: Deno.env.get("FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN"),
projectId: Deno.env.get("FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID"),
storageBucket: Deno.env.get("FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET"),
