# Contact Manager CLI
Small command line tool to create contacts from your terminal. Utilizes [Google Cloud Functions](https://cloud.google.com/functions/) for HTTP triggers, [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com) for persistent storage and plain old [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/).
## Getting Started
These simple steps will get you a working copy of the application.
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/Wyvarn/contact-manager-cli.git
```
> this will clone the repo and create a contact-manager-cli directory
If you prefer a different name for the project
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/Wyvarn/contact-manager-cli ~/
```
## Requirements
You will need a couple of things to get started:
1. *NodeJS and npm*
Ensure you have NodeJS installed on your environment. You can get installation instructions from [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
2. *Firebase CLI*
Get firebase-tools installed on your development environment. This will be used to manage the project and configure Cloud functions.
```bash
$ npm install -g firebase-tools
```
More instructions on using firebase-tools can be found [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/)
## Setting up
Setting up the project is easy, once you have all the requirements checked, then you can setup as follows:
``` bash
$ npm install
# if using yarn
$ yarn install
```
> This will install all the dependencies you need in node_modules/ directory
Once you have installed dependencies here, change directory into `firefunctions/functions` and install dependencies there too
```bash
$ cd firefunctions/functions
$ npm install # or yarn install
```
Now you can use `firebase-tools` to setup your project with firebase
``` bash
$ firebase login # logs you into firebase console
```
## Running the app
You will need to setup a project on Firebase console after which you can enable the project in the firefunctions directory.
```bash
$ cd firefunctions
$ firebase use
```
Next step is to deploy functions:
```bash
$ npm run deploy
```
> Run this command inside the `firefunctions` directory
After which you can take the CLI for a run.
```bash
$ cd .. # if in the firefunctions directory
$ npm run build
$ npm install -g
$ npm link # not necessary
```
This will run a build and transpile the code before setting it in the build/ directory. You can then install it globally and link if necessary.
One thing to keep in mind: During development, any change you make in the project will not be visible if you simply execute the contact command with the given options. If you run `which contact-manager`, you will realize that the path of contact is not the same as the project path in which you are working. To prevent this, simply run `npm link` in your project folder. This will automatically establish a symbolic link between the executable command and the project directory. Henceforth, whatever changes you make in the project directory will be reflected in the contact command as well.
