API Overview

`callByName`

Call a callable function by name.

import { FirebaseFunctions } from '@capgo/capacitor-firebase-functions';

await FirebaseFunctions.callByName({} as CallByNameOptions<RequestData>);

`callByUrl`

Call a callable function by URL.

import { FirebaseFunctions } from '@capgo/capacitor-firebase-functions';

await FirebaseFunctions.callByUrl({} as CallByUrlOptions<RequestData>);

`useEmulator`

Instrument your app to talk to the Cloud Functions emulator.

On Android, the cleartext traffic must be allowed. On the Capacitor configuration:

await FirebaseFunctions.useEmulator({} as UseEmulatorOptions);
