Allow Passing of Build Parameters

[ChrisDeardeuff]

The use case you're trying to solve

To my understanding from reading about similar problems, the project is rebuilt when firebase deploy is ran. This overrides any files that have been built before and thus ignores variables passed with --dart-define.

It would be nice to be able to specify '--dart-define var=value' parameters for building.

Change to the action that would solve that use case

Allow them to be passed in the ENV section of the yml. Example:

      - uses: FirebaseExtended/action-hosting-deploy@v0
        with:
          repoToken: ${{ secrets }}
          firebaseServiceAccount: ${{ secrets}}
          channelId: <channelid>
          projectId: <projectId>
        env:
         FIREBASE_CLI_EXPERIMENTS: webframeworks
         ADDITIONAL_BUILD_ARGS: --dart-define var=value --dart-define var2=value2

Other considerations

Possibly instead have a flag that stops the build process during deploy?

I encountered the same issue but resolved it using the method below. Instead of using Flutter's web framework integration, I solved it by deploying the built static files.
Replace the source in firebase.json with public. Specify the folder path to the built static files.

  "hosting": {
+   "public": "./build/web",
-   "source": "./",
    "ignore": ["firebase.json", "**/.*", "**/node_modules/**"],
    "frameworksBackend": {
      "region": "asia-east1"
    }
  }
