Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions Quickstart - Cloud Storage trigger

This quickstart demonstrates using Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions setup with a Cloud Storage trigger.

Introduction

This sample automatically generates thumbnails for images that are uploaded to Cloud Storage.

See file functions/index.js for the thumbnail generation code.

The thumbnail generation is performed using sharp.

The dependencies are listed in functions/package.json.

The function triggers on upload of any file to your Firebase project's default Cloud Storage bucket.

To deploy and test the sample:

Create a Firebase project on the Firebase Console and visit the Storage tab.
Get the code, for instance using git clone https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples
Enter the correct directory cd functions-samples/quickstarts/thumbnails
Setup the CLI to use your Firebase project using firebase use --add and select your Firebase project
Deploy your project's code using firebase deploy
Go to the Firebase Console Storage tab and upload an image. After a short time a thumbnail image with the same name but a thumb_ prefix will be created in the same folder (make sure you refresh the UI to see the new file).
