It might be a good idea to fix the lint errors before merging. I think one of them in firebase.ts is unavoidable and can be ignored by adding this in .eslintrc.json:

"import/no-unresolved": [
  "error",
  {
    "ignore": ["^firebase-admin/.+"]
  }
],

And then the rest can probably all be fixed with a validator for environment variables and by adding validators for req.body on the middleware and the route.
