Mixing
Cloud Functions on Firestore for Flutter
I'm relatively new to Firestore and I am currently trying to build a Flutter app on it. I have hit a roadblock where I realize that I must utilized Firestore Cloud Functions in order to perform server-side data manipulation.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of great resources and videos describing the process to set this up (at least for someone super new to software development like me). However, I was able to find this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYfP-UIKxH0 that goes over how to set up a Firestore app using Typscript. As such, I have two questions:
- Will setting up the environment to write cloud functions be the same here for Firestore as it will be for Firebase?
- Do I want to write these functions in Javascript or Typescript?

- Yes. When you use Cloud Firestore, you're essentially using Firebase, and the setup for Cloud Functions is the same between them. If you run into problems, post a questions with the minimal steps needed to reproduce that problem.
- That's your call, as recommending one technology over another is off-topic here on Stack Overflow. That said, most developers coming from a background with strictly typed languages may prefer typescript.
