codewired / friendlypix-updated Goto Github PK

As noted in comments in FirebaseHelper.js, registerForLikesCount() and registerForFollowersCount() won't scale well if there are lots of likes or follows.

I got an informative answer from @puf when I asked about this here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60136729/scalability-of-numchildren-function-in-firebase-realtime-database

This code sample https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/blob/master/child-count/functions/index.js shows how this can be handled, and I've implemented it in my fork here: https://github.com/kenara/FriendlyPix-Updated/blob/master/src/FirebaseHelper.js#L714 with a corresponding function here:
https://github.com/kenara/FriendlyPix-Updated/blob/master/functions/likeCount.js

The function updates a new /liked node with the count.

Also, liking in Friendlypix is understood by users to be anonymous. My friendlypix-inspired site is a job board, and who favorites a job needs to be private. With the above arrangement I could set the rule for "likes": ".read" to false.

When i check in the developer console it says that my api key is invalid
