}Setup your Firebase Emulators by uncommenting the lines under 'emulators if running locally' in src/index.js.
Run:
firebase use (choose your option)
firebase emulators:start
To calculate heuristic weights, run:
# Run locally
firebase init functions
firebase use weight_function
firebase emulators:start --only functionsThen get the url, go to the .env file and add the following sentence:
// Your previous code
VUE_APP_FIREBASE_PYTHON_FUNCTION = 'url'If you want to deply the fuction, change your account from spark to blaze, run:
firebase deploy --only functionsGo to firebase panel -> functions -> on the right side of the function press "detailed usage statistics". There you can get the url and replace on .env file.
