Auto Deployment with GitHub Actions

Add your firebase token to GitHub Secrets as 'FIREBASE_TOKEN'; to get this run:

firebase login:ci

At the root of your project add '.github/workflows/main.yml'

name: Firebase Deployment

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Install Chromium Library Dependencies
      run: |
       sh ./.github/workflows/chromium-lib-install.sh
    - name: Build
      run: |
        npm install
        npm run build
    - name: Firebase Deploy
      run: |
        sudo npm install -g firebase-tools
        firebase deploy --token ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN }} -P your-firebase-project-name

In the same directory as main.yml create a file 'chromium-lib-install.sh'

#!/usr/bin/bash

sudo apt-get update \\
  && sudo apt-get install -yq libgconf-2-4 \\
  && sudo apt-get install -y wget --no-install-recommends \\
  && sudo wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - \\
  && sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' \\
  && sudo apt-get update \\
  && sudo apt-get install -y google-chrome-unstable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf --no-install-recommends \\
  && sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Now every change to the master branch will compile and push your code to firebase.
