Deploy jsreport into firebase function as an existing Node.js project.

Anwar Pervez

My code is:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello from the main application');
});

const reportingApp = express();
app.use('/reporting', reportingApp);

const server = app.listen(3000);

const jsreport = require('jsreport')({
  extensions: {
      express: { app: reportingApp, server: server },
  },
  appPath: "/reporting"
});

jsreport.init().then(() => {
  console.log('jsreport server started')
}).catch((e) => {
  console.error(e);
});

I don't have experience with the firebase functions. Please share the error you are receiving or what problems you are experiencing.

Firebase functions have read-only permission. There is no permission to create any file or edit any data. In this environment is possible to run jsreport?

I see. Does it provide a temp where you can write? I guess you can reach the same problems when running the AWS Lambda function.
Please try to read through the tutorial here
https://jsreport.net/learn/aws-lambda-serverless

In particular, check this config which disables writing to logs or redirects the writes to the temp
