Food Trucks of DC

Food Trucks of DC is a daily food truck tracker for Washington DC.

Frontend

The frontend uses Firebase to authenticate users and fetch data. It uses React to draw the page based on the fetched data.

Firebase credentials

The frontend requires a Firebase config in frontend/src/firebaseConfig.js. You can download the file in the Firebase console under Project settings -> section Firebase SDK snippet -> option Config.

It should look like this. It must end with export default firebaseConfg.

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "foobar",
  authDomain: "foo.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://foo.firebaseio.com",
  projectId: "foo",
  storageBucket: "foo.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "123",
  appId: "123"
};
export default firebaseConfig;

• Cloud Firestore API
• Identity Toolkit API
• Token Service API
