How to locally test firebase functions

I moved the whole backend onto firebase functions because that seemed like the recommended way, but if I want to make a small change to the backend I now need to wait multiple minutes for the function to deploy. I tried firebase emulators but I can’t get it to work within the workspace environment since it’s normally meant to be used locally. I really want this to work but I need accesser to faster development iterations.

Hi Joe,

I guess you have all the functions stored in one file. Ask the prototypes to split up the could functions in logical buckets and separate them in different files and ask it how it would proceed. This should lay out a foundation to make the function deployment shorter and ensure that prototypes only edits the function it needs.
