# TTRPG Initiative Tracker
This application is the result of not having the exact tool I want to use, and a few sessions of [vibe-coding](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw18-4U7mts) with [Google Gemini](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/overview).
**Use at your own risk.**
A web-based application designed to help Dungeon Masters (DMs) manage and display combat initiative for tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). It features a DM admin interface for controlling encounters and a separate player display view suitable for an external monitor or for players to view on their own devices.

2. **Create Firebase Configuration File (`.env.local`):**
#### **Create Firebase Configuration File (`.env.local`):**
* In the root of the project, create a file named `.env.local`.
* Add your Firebase project configuration details to this file. You can find these in your Firebase project settings (Project settings > General > Your apps > Firebase SDK snippet > Config).
* **Important:** This `.env.local` file contains sensitive API keys and should **NOT** be committed to Git. Make sure it's listed in your `.gitignore` file.

*An `.env.example` file is included in the repository as a template.*
3. **Install Dependencies:**
#### **Install Dependencies:**
Navigate to the project root in your terminal and run:
```bash
npm install
```
This will install all the necessary packages defined in `package.json` and create a `package-lock.json` file.
4. **Set up Firestore Security Rules:**
#### **Set up Firestore Security Rules:**
* Go to your Firebase project console -> Firestore Database -> Rules.
* Use the following rules for development (allows authenticated users to read/write all data). **For production, you MUST implement more restrictive rules.**

**4. Production Deployment Considerations:**
* When deploying to a production environment (e.g., a cloud provider, your own server), you should **not** copy your `.env.local` file into the Docker image.
* Instead, configure the `REACT_APP_FIREBASE_...` environment variables directly in your hosting platform's settings or pass them to the Docker container at runtime (if your application is set up to read them at runtime, though Create React App bakes them in at build time).
* If your CI/CD pipeline builds the Docker image, ensure these environment variables are securely provided to the build environment.
