@ittechsathish Make sure to follow the steps here, especially running this within your functions directory:

firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json

Of course you have to make sure before that you have actually set something for your functions config, so for example:

firebase functions:config:set algolia.app_id="YOUR_APP_ID"

Each time you change something at the function config you have to make the changes locally as well by running the first command again.

I had the same problem even after running the first command that a file within a subdirectory would get an empty functions.config object. But apparently that was due to having a second node_modules folder within said subdirectory. After deleting the second node_modules folder everything worked fine.
