how can I define and run dart environment and script with firestore cloud functions

Answer 1

At this date you can only run JavaScript, TypeScript or Python code on Cloud Functions. Consequently, you shall convert it to one of those languages.

You can use the Dart compile to JS compiler to convert and generate JS code from you Dart code.

dart compile js

Beware that this compiles your Dart code to deployable JavaScript, which may not always be compatible with NodeJs.
