Meeple App

This is a small web application designed to coordinate board games events by voting on boardgames. It is designed to be used by a small group of friends.

It is powered by Astro (HTML Build using Vite), Svelte (reactive components), Tailwind (Utility CSS Styling) and Firebase (Hosting, Database, Cloud Functions)

Firebase Config

You will need to provide Firebase API-Keys to your firebase-project. You can setup a free firebase-project and generate the needed keys in the firebase console under project-settings (config and messaging)

If you want to work with my personal project and just contribute to this project, you can copy the configuration from: https://meeple-cgn.web.app/firebaseConfig.js

HTTPS and Certificates

To test certain features this app should be run with HTTPs. For this you have to provide a SSL certificate valid for localhost. This can easily be generated with an app like "minica". asto.config expects the path to your certificate and keyfile in enviroment variables LOCAL_CERT and LOCAL_KEY

Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:3000
npm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
npm run preview	Preview your build locally, before deploying
firebase login	Login to your own firebase project
firebase deploy	Deploy firebase hosting, functions and database

Firebase Cloud Functions

This project is setup to run with simple Email/Password authentication on firebase by default. The app can be deployed and run on firebase free of charge, but you will need at least the Blaze-Plan to access Cloud Functions.
