Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
@firebase/functions-compat
Advanced tools
The @firebase/functions-compat package is designed to provide a compatibility layer for Firebase Cloud Functions in web applications using the Firebase platform. It allows developers to interact with backend functions seamlessly, enabling serverless architecture benefits such as scalability and simplified codebases.
Calling Cloud Functions
This feature allows developers to invoke cloud functions deployed on Firebase. The code sample demonstrates how to call a cloud function named 'myFunction' with some data and handle the response or error.
const functions = require('@firebase/functions-compat');
const callMyFunction = functions.httpsCallable('myFunction');
callMyFunction({ someData: 'example' })
.then(result => {
console.log(result.data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
});
This package is used to write Firebase Cloud Functions. It is similar to @firebase/functions-compat in that it interacts with Firebase Cloud Functions, but it is primarily used for defining and deploying functions rather than invoking them from a client application.
AWS SDK for JavaScript allows developers to interact with AWS services including AWS Lambda, which is similar to Firebase Cloud Functions. While it serves a similar serverless function execution model, it is part of the broader AWS ecosystem as opposed to being specific to Firebase.
