How do I emulate cloud functions? React does NOT want to work with:
firebase.functions().useEmulator(‘localhost’, 5001)
I followed those steps, but didn’t work. It doesn’t write anything on the firebase local database. Also, I noticed that on the firebase.js file you used “firebaseApp.initializeApp({“, shouldn’t be “firebase.initializeApp({?
> firebaseApp should be firebase

Can you give me more details on what didn’t work? Did you, by any chance, use the beta release of Firebase? You can also contact me at [email protected].
