I've added/setup the firebase pubsub emulator that is running on my localhost on port 8085. Up till this point I had need to use the pubsub in Googel cloud, where I would use their console to create topics and could also review messages published to those topics.
Now that it's running locally, there doesn't seem to be a UI to manage topics/messages and I can't seem to find documentation that explains how to create a topic on the local pubsub, how to review existing topics and how to review messages?
In addition, if I am writing a cloud function that references the pubsub library, will it automatically use my local emulator version if it's running or do I need to specify the host/port in my node.js function someplace? Any examples of this out there?
I believe their is an http API I Can use to create topics,but again, I can't find any documentation on this or find references to see what topics exist and what messages have been sent to the topics.
Any help is appreciated.
