How to host nodeJS project to firebase?

Viewed 43660

I am using node, express and more other dependencies for the project. I wonder how to host this project on firebase. My project will have controller, view , and any other folders to make the project possible.It already has view engine like pug/handlebars.

Tutorials online only show how to host firebase with single index.html in public folder. How am I suppose to host my project with all other folders? I know how to use firebase in nodeJS, but how to host the project on firebase? How firebase will access the server file(either app/index.js)? Where should I put all these folders?

Hopefully I am not asking to much. If my question isn't clear, please let me know so that I can make clarification.

You can do this by firebase cloud function. Deployment auth is handled by the Firebase CLI, so getting a hello world up and running is literally:

firebase init functions
firebase deploy

A simple hello world function

functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
    response.send(“Hello from Firebase!”);
});

Note: You can use express with firebase function.
