Setting Up working space

1. Install Firebase CLI using standalone binary or through npm via 'npm install -g firebase-tools' https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#windows-npm

2. Run 'firebase login' and authenticate Google account of Firebase project owner

3. Create a new project and get the 'firebaseConfig' from the Firebase dashboard and update /scripts/firebase.js accordingly

4. Run 'firebase init' for first the first time, and enable Realtime Database, Firestore, Hosting (optional), and Hosting Github Action Deploys (optional).

• If Step 4 fails, try deleting .firebase.src

5. Select "Use an existing project" then the corresponding created project

• If Firestore Setup fails, enable Cloud Firestore and create a database first via Firebase dashboard, then rerun 'firebase init'.
• Do not overwrite public/index.html

Other things to check

• Ensure that Firestore rules are open. It is set as 'write false' by default.
• Ensure that Build-> Authentication-> Native Providers -> Email/Password is enabled for account registration to work

Creating an admin/managing products and orders

• To create an admin, register an account. In Firestore, manually add a new property "isAdmin" on the user document and set it to 'true'. This adds a new navigation item 'Admin Console' under that user.

Hosting

• To host with Firebase, run 'firebase deploy'
