Firebase <-> Pretix Integration

Single Firebase function running an express app. The app has two main concerns:

1. A REST API, powered by express.js
2. Webhook endpoints for pretix events.

The rest api functions are all under the /api endpoint.

The webhook endpoints are prefixed with /pretix-

Webflow integration scripts can be found at UniconBerlin/webflow-firebase

Development Setup

Node 14.11.0 and 6.14.8 are required for development.

Set up Firebase

# Install firebase-tools
npm install -g firebase-tools

# Log in to Firebase
firebase login

Run the development server

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/UniconBerlin/firebase-pretix

# Install dependencies
cd firebase-pretix/functions
npm install

# Start the firebase emulator
npm run serve

For local development of the functions, it's recommended to use Postman. Simply import the postman collection provided in the repo and set the following collection environment variables:

• PROD_URL
• DEV_URL
• API_KEY
• email
• password

For easier access to fequently changed variables, import the postmant environment.

By changing the collection variable ENVIRONMENT from dev to prod, you can test the production endpoint.
