A easy to use codebase for hosting a openai server on firebase and interacting with it using javascript fetch. This solution is better and cheaper than using heroku. Includes functions for text prompts and image generation

Requirements

1. Node.js
2. npm
3. Firebase account
4. OpenAI API key

4. In index.js modify chunk1,2,3,4 and 5 variables to include snippets of your openai apikey.

• You must segment the key because the maximum length of a line allowed in firebase functions is 80 chars at the time of writing this.

5. Deploy firebase functions

• firebase deploy --only functions

• Upgrade your project to Blaze (pay-as-you-go) it is very cheap. Like around $1. You pay at the end of the month

• Deploy again

• firebase deploy --only functions

• • COPY THE FUNCTION URL DISPLAYED BY THE CLI

6. Modify your index.html to include jquery and the javascript code from the repo index.html

7. Modify functionUrl variable in index.html to be the function url you copied in step 5

8. Move your index.html into your /public hosting deploy folder

9. Deploy html
