Call a function running locally

[joserocha3]

Is there a way to call a function running locally?

Instead of https://us-central1-project-id.firebaseapp.com/ it would run at say http://localhost:5000/.

function* callFunction() {
  // Will make a POST request to https://us-central1-project-id.firebaseapp.com/sayHello?name=Alfred
  // with custom headers

Hi Jose,

That's a good idea, I hadn't thought about this! 🙂

I can see two options to do that:

• allow the first argument of functions.call to be either a function name (current behaviour) or a full URL. In the latter case we wouldn't automatically generate a xxx.cloudfunctions.net URL and just use what was passed by the user.

  // Calls 'http://localhost:5000/greet?name=Jose':
  yield rsf.functions.call(
    'http://localhost:5000/greet',
    { name: 'Jose' }
  )

• create a new baseUrl property in rsf that is used to generate the url, ie:

  rsf.baseUrl = 'http://localhost:5000/'
  
  [...]
  
  // Calls 'http://localhost:5000/greet?name=Jose':
  yield rsf.functions.call(
    'greet',
    { name: 'Jose' }
  )

  If not specified, we'd default to a xxx.cloudfunctions.net url.

Thoughts?
I'm inclined to go with the first option because it's more flexible, although it does require the user to provide (and build) the full URL for each call.

I like that first one. People might run on different local hosts so they should have to enter the entire URL if running locally. BTW great library, intuitive and fun to use -- appreciate all the work put into it.

@joserocha3 Thanks for the encouragement!

This is now available in v0.11, let me know how that works for you. :)
