How do i point to latest firebase-functions in github.com under package.json about firebase-functions

Hey @jernkuan , are you developing with TypeScript or JavaScript? If you are developing with JavaScript, then you can already use event.data.resourceState with v0.5.2. The field is already populated, we just didn't have export a typing for it yet.

Here's how to use the latest SDK directly from Github:

1. Inside projectDirectory/functions, run:

git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebase-functions.git
cd firebase-functions
npm run build

2. Modify the firebase-functions dependency inside functions/package.json to be:
   "firebase-functions": "file:./firebase-functions"
3. Run npm install inside projectDirectory/functions

Working with typescript and compiler throwing an error with the resourceState thus the need to use the latest from github. I think your suggestion would work.

Thanxs and closing

Ok, no probs!

FYI that it's generally not the best practice to always point to the latest master instead of the latest release. It could cause unexpected issues if we happen to merge a breaking change into master. If you want to get the current release to work in TypeScript, you can just do (object as any).resourceType to get rid of the TypeScript warning.
