All endpoint documentation was done using Swagger and can be found here.

There are some necessary environment variables for the server to run. These are all for Firebase's Admin SDK so that the server can connect with a Firestore Database.

* SERVICE_TYPE
* SERVICE_PROJECT_ID
* SERVICE_PRIVATE_KEY_ID
* SERVICE_PRIVATE_KEY
* SERVICE_CLIENT_EMAIL
* SERVICE_CLIENT_ID
* SERVICE_AUTH_URI
* SERVICE_TOKEN_URI
* SERVICE_AUTH_PROVIDER_X509_CERT_URL
* SERVICE_AUTH_CLIENT_X509_CERT_URL

Once you have created a Firebase Application to connect to your locally run server you can assign each of the values from your personal Firebase App to these Environment Variables to connect the server to your Firestore.

run firebase emulators:exec --only firestore 'npm test' in the terminal to run the test files on the firestore emulator
