Flaming Specs

Flaming Specs combines Firebase Storage with the Google Cloud Vision API through Google Cloud Functions, all in ~100 LoC!

This is a demo for a presentation given at Serverless Conf on May 27th, 2016 by Frank van Puffelen and myself. Slides are available here.

You can view the public demo here.

Setup

Create a Firebase Account

Create an account through the Firebase Console, and upgrade to Blaze plan. This will allow you to access Cloud resources, like Cloud Functions and the Cloud Vision API.

Modify the code

There are two TODO:s where you must add your app keys into JSON configuration, one in index.html and one in function.js. This information comes from the Firebase Console for your prroject.

Host the website

Install the Firebase CLI: npm install -g firebase-tools, run firebase init, and move index.html into your app's public folder. From there, you can either run firebase serve to locally test your app, or firebase deploy to host your app on the public internet.

Deploy your function

Sign up for the GCF Alpha, and when accepted, follow the instructions to deploy a function (either via the console or via the CLI). The function called will be named visiondetect, since that's what's exported from function.js.
