Architecture

Kotlin Multiplatform project where :androidApp and :iosApp share the same codebase for the business logic (with :shared module). :backend and :shared modules share the same models due to :models module and avoid any errors in the parsing of backend responses.

Loading

Testing

Running in local

Start firebase emulators inside a terminal with Firestore service.

firebase login # If you are not yet logged
firebase emulators:start --project $RANDOM_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID

Start appengine server inside another terminal to interact with the local instance of your Firebase.

# Export credential of a random GCP account.
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/key.json
./gradlew :backend:installDist && ./backend/build/install/backend/bin/backend

Now, you can start to interact with the backend.

Deploy in GCP

# If you are not yet logged
gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project $PROJECT_ID
# Deploy in production
./gradlew :backend:appengineDeploy
