Cloud Functions for Firebase: Project structure multiple self-contained functions

Question

I am trying to create a project structure similar to the following:

--firebase-admin-project
  --firebase.json
  --functions
    --anonymous-login
      --node_modules
      --index.js
      --package.json
    --auth-login
      --node_modules
      --index.js
      --package.json

The intention is to do "firebase deploy --only functions" in either the anonymous-login or auth-login folders but the deployment fails.

Currently, "firebase init functions" creates new index.js and package.json files in the functions folder, which is not what I want.

Also, we want to avoid using require to pull all functions into one index.js file.

firebase deploy --only functions:<any function>

Firebase has started allowing developers to deploy specific functions as well

When you run firebase deploy, it will deploy every function in your project and all files under the functions directory. There is currently no way to select anything less than the entire thing.

Update: There is a new feature in the CLI that allows for individual functions and groups of functions to be deployed independently. The documentation for that is in the partial deploys section of the docs.

can you help. I get a deploy compete in the terminal but when i go to the firebase console and view the functions tab... its blank!? – Famic Tech Mar 25 '17 at 15:05
Make sure you look inside the correct project. Use `firebase list` to see the project which is currently active. And `firebase use` to select another one in case it's wrong. – Jürgen Brandstetter Apr 04 '17 at 09:55
Just see the help ; now you can do it ; try firebase help deploy in CLI – TheBen Aug 19 '17 at 22:16
@TheeBen Yes, that feature is newer than the time this answer was written. – Doug Stevenson Aug 20 '17 at 00:30
Yes, just thought in case you havn't noticed, because it's not officially part of the doc yet I think; other than a hint somewhere. cheers – TheBen Aug 20 '17 at 15:43
@TheeBen It's in the doc. I edited this answer and linked to it. – Doug Stevenson Aug 20 '17 at 15:44
Sorry my bad, I just realized I'm commenting under the wrong topic altogether. My bad. You are absolutely right – TheBen Aug 20 '17 at 16:03
