Welcome to my introductory course on the Firebase Emulator Suite. This course is broken down into 3 parts.
In the first part, we'll go through the process of initializing the emulator and the different APIs we'll use, like, Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions.
Then, we'll cover the different types of cloud functions there are, how we call them, and how each type is handled differently by the emulator.
And lastly, we'll talk about properly configuring the emulator for things like having starter data so that you don't have to start it from scratch, or setting it up to only work in development mode.
My hope is that this course gives you enough tools to set up a local, safe environment where you can develop your app without being overly worried about surprise credit card charges.
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the course
