Building your first extension for Firebase

on YouTube ↗01h 18m

" summary

A small Firebase extension is built that watches a chat collection and uses a Cloud Function to convert ALL‑CAP messages to lowercase and mark them approved, preventing an infinite loop by checking an isApproved field. Development runs locally in the emulator suite with hot reload, using an extensions.yaml manifest to declare roles, params and trigger paths. Installation requires Blaze billing (free tier credits available) and the extension publishes to extensions.dev after review.
