functions/update.ts - Add a self-cleanup function that runs once a month to check the current quarter & unregister all user from previous quarters

Frontend website is made using Vue 3 and Vite. It uses the OpenCourseAPI directly to get class data. It's hosted using Firebase Hosting as a SPA.
Backend server uses Firebase Functions in Node 12 and TypeScript. Emails are rendered using Handlebars.
cleanupUnusedClasses: Runs automatically when a user unregisters from a class; checks if that class is registered by any other user, and deletes it if not.updateClassesData: Runs periodically through a pubsub; gets updated class data from OpenCourse, checks if any class status has changed significantly, and sends an email to each person registered to those classes.
Emails are rendered using Handlebars with two different templates (one for html and one for plain text). They are sent through Mailgun.
Email receiving & followup is done with a Zoho mail free account.
Made by Miguel Tenant de La Tour with the help of Madhav Varshney.
Class data provided by OpenCourseAPI.
If you have any ideas or things you want to improve on, you can submit a PR. Thanks!
Prerequisites: You must have Nodejs (preferably v12), and the firebase-tools package globally installed.
# Note: You might need to npm install in order for some steps to work
# To test the website only (no user accounts/registration)
cd hosting
npm run dev
# If you want the full setup, run the above and in a separate terminal run this at the root of the project
firebase emulators:start
# In both cases, the website will be available at http://localhost:8000
