Create sandbox for environment variables #192

Closed grodeska closed 8 years ago

grodeska commented 8 years ago

As a contributor, when I fork the project code and create my own local instance, I should have a dev instance of Firebase so that my content edits are not pushed to production FB DB.

@therebelrobot has offered to get our project set up with some industry standard environment variables.

Here's an article on managing dev environments in FB: https://www.firebase.com/blog/2015-10-29-managing-development-environments.html

Question: do we create one dev environment for all contributors to use locally, or do we allow them to create their own instances. Not sure if the latter is practical given FB permissions.

@therebelrobot wanted to check in on this issue. any chance you can help us get set up with env variables before code across? we've decided to use one dev Firebase instance for all local dev installs. here's the URL for that dev instance:

https://civicmakers-dev.firebaseio.com/

I also invited you as a contributor (trentoswald@therebelrobot.com) on that instance in case you need access.
