Welcome to the wiki for the serverless jsPsych template. This template provides a modern development environment for building online psychology experiments using TypeScript, jsPsych, Firebase, and Prolific.

This template combines several key technologies to create a robust development environment:

• TypeScript for type-safe JavaScript development
• Vite for fast, modern bundling
• jsPsych for psychology experiment flow
• TailwindCSS for modern styling
• Firebase/Firestore for serverless backend
• Prolific integration for participant recruitment

1. Fork the repository and run experiment locally with the mock database (simulateMockDatabase = true in appConfig.ts)
2. Configure your IDE (VS Code recommended)
3. Update info in appConfig.ts (name, email, etc.)
4. Build your experiment using jsPsych
5. Set up Firebase project and Firestore database
6. Add Firebase credentials to creds.ts
7. Test with Firestore by setting simulateMockDatabase = false
8. When ready, deploy to Firebase
9. Test data collection and retrieval in production
10. Set up Prolific study and add completion code to creds.ts
11. Deploy final experiment version and collect data
