Create SuperAdmin Account

You'll need to manually add your first admin account. To generate a hashcode for it...

1. Run npm run hashcode and enter your email. Copy hashcode
2. Create new entry in your firebaseDB under, /admins/<YOUR HASHCODE>/ as follows:

admins: {
  <YOUR HASH CODE>: {
    {
      email: '<YOUR EMAIL>',
      role: 'super-admin'
    }
  }
}

3. Create user in firebase user management with same email.

Email Confirmation setup

1. To allow the app to send confirmation emails through a Gmail account: enable access to Less Secure Apps and Display Unlock Captcha. For accounts with 2-step verification enabled, Generate an App Password.
2. Set the gmail.email and gmail.password Google Cloud environment variables to match the email and password of the Gmail account used to send emails (or the app password if your account has 2-step verification enabled). For this use:

firebase functions:config:set gmail.email="<EMAIL ADDRESS>" gmail.password="<PASSWORD>"

Run ng serve for a dev server. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Navigate to http://localhost:4200/ to access the front end.

Deploy

Run npm run deploy to deploy your project. This command will first build the app for production and then deploy it to Firebase hosting.
