Question: How does the auth-service-worker.js get packaged?

[rlw87]

Following the recent next.js firebase app hosting guide and this repository I cannot get the auth-service-worker to work in my project. I cannot see how auth-service-worker.js makes its way into the public folder so it can be registered by the Header component on the client side.

I'm using typescript for my project, but I don't see how this part of the process would be different. I have even tried transpiling the service worker myself, but as it needs to import firebase auth I get errors telling me that "require" and "exports" are not defined. I can't convert it to an ES Module as module aren't supported within service workers.

How does this example work?

The answer is that it's in the package.json and uses esbuild every time you run npm build
