  1. Dart is not currently supported in Cloud Functions, so developers need to use more than one language in their code base. Here are some pain points they shared with the Firebase product team about this gap:
    - They need to learn another language, and many of them do not have the same expertise in JavaScript as they do in Dart.
    - The lack of features and tools, such as Hot Reload and Hot Restart, impacts development speed.
    - Developers cannot share business logic and data models across the entire stack.
    - Developers cannot use frequently used Dart packages on the…

  2. Swift is a much beloved and popular language for writing apps on the Apple platforms, but increasingly, it is also being used server side and even for writing cross platform business logic on Android and on Windows.

    Being able to share models and business logic between your clients and server would be an amazing productivity boost. And being able to develop in a language that focuses on safety would eliminate categories of issues that can exist if you develop in say Javascript or Typescript.

  3. In the same way, we have onCreate and onDelete, it will be very helpful to have an onUpdate option. For example, so we can react to an email address change.

  4. firebase currently has two firebase auth triggers:
    functions.auth.user().onCreate()
    functions.auth.user().onDelete()

    I would like a trigger to respond to onLinkWithCredential so that I can update the user document in the user collection with the additional/changes from the new auth method

  6. A solid Firebase Functions experience requires a fully functional test suite.
    Firebase-functions-test is already there, and provides the experience, but is often forgotten for months.

    Firebase functions 6 was released a month ago, and it broke functions-test.

    There's currently a patch that fixes it, and it's been there for a week.

    This idea isn't about this issue. It's about giving resources to the firebase-functions-text project, so it can continue growing and thus giving cloud firebase functions users a solid testing experience before deploying.

  8. Right now, a Firebase function can only accept a request payload size up to 32Mb.
    Using it as webhook for some external APIs, we would need to have no limits or at least 100Mb limit

  9. 1st gen cloud functions can access auth info via context.auth as described here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/extend-with-functions?gen=1st#accessing_user_authentication_information

    But 2nd gen cloud functions is yet to have the same function.

  10. Functions is behind paywall, (it is still free for some limit in Blaze plan), but IF i upgrade to Blaze, then Cloud Storage, Hosting etc starts to charge right away, even in free plan they have free limits but once switched to Blaze it starts to charge. So to get free Functions, i have to pay cloud storage and hosting and more.

    For any playground project that is not gonna hit market or earn money, how i am supposed to try/learn functions? This forces me to move away from platform

  11. Why I Want This?

    Firebase splits functions to individual Docker Container. This works great for scaling, but with that it is not easy to share global values, for example, user's access key to external services and session specific values.

    While we can use REDIS and such hosted on GCP, it would be more "batteries included" platform if this feature is offered as a built-in functionality for the functions without resorting to Firestore or RTDB.

    What I look for is to globally share key values and also auto-expire them.

  12. When deploying multiple cloud functions at once via

    firebase deploy --only functions

    we frequently run into quota issues like:

    • functions: got "Quota Exceeded" error while trying to update projects/.... Waiting to retry...

    It never retries though.

    It would make it way easier if you could add an argument to the deployment command like:

    firebase deploy --only functions --chunked 50

  15. Currently using 2nd gen cloud functions requires having the default Compute Engine Service Account and there is no way to use custom service account.

    Not all projects have the service account or have any means to re-create the default SA if it has been deleted at some point and using default service accounts is anyway something that is not recommended by Google. So currently not all can move to using 2nd gen cloud functions unless support for using custom SA is added.

  16. It's a pain to have to configure a process to watch and transpile TypeScript files to use in the emulator. Firebase CLI should have built-in support for it both in the emulator (with automatic watching, or on-the-fly transpilation as I showed here https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/5633#issuecomment-1622585432) and when deploying.

  18. Tell people that mixing V1 and V2 config files in the same project (note: even outside the gen2 function) will create a port and container error. Right now you don't mention in the docs or anywhere that having ANY function.config files in a project with a gen 2 function will cause a deploy error that says a container is broken and the port is unreachable. This error is misleading. It will also show the gen 2 function in the console as "unknown trigger" which also is misleading.

    In all your documentation you say you can have gen1 and gen2 functions…

  19. By default HTTP Firebase Functions are made public. In Google Console they are marked as "Allow unauthenticated" because they will allow all callers, without checking authentication.

    I would like an option to deploy them privately.

    Example:

    const privateFunction = onRequest(
    {
    allowUnauthenticated: false,
    },
    (req, res) => {
    res.status(200).send(req.body);
    },
    );

  20. It is currently already possible to create google cloud tasks. However, this could be better integrated by creating an abstraction for queues, for example, which can also be monitored and controlled via the admin console and firebase emulator.
