The Firestore client represents a Firestore Database and is the entry point for all Firestore operations.
Package
@google-cloud/firestoreExamples
Install the client library with npm :
npm
install
--
save
@
google
-
cloud
/
firestore
Import the client library
var
Firestore
=
require
(
' @google-cloud/firestore
'
);
Create a client that uses Application Default Credentials (ADC) :
var
firestore
=
new
Firestore
();
Create a client with explicit credentials :
var
firestore
=
new
Firestore
({
projectId
:
'your-project-id'
,
keyFilename
:
'/path/to/keyfile.json'
});
Full quickstart example:
const
{
Firestore
}
=
require
(
' @google-cloud/firestore
'
);
// Create a new client
const
firestore
=
new
Firestore
();
async
function
quickstart
()
{
// Obtain a document reference.
const
document
=
firestore
.
doc
(
'posts/intro-to-firestore'
);
// Enter new data into the document.
await
document
.
set
({
title
:
'Welcome to Firestore'
,
body
:
'Hello World'
,
});
console
.
log
(
'Entered new data into the document'
);
// Update an existing document.
await
document
.
update
({
body
:
'My first Firestore app'
,
});
console
.
log

// Read the document.
const

// Delete the document.

If any delete fails, the promise is rejected with an error message containing the number of failed deletes and the stack trace of the last failed delete. The provided reference is deleted regardless of whether all deletes succeeded.
recursiveDelete()
uses a BulkWriter instance with default settings to perform the deletes. To customize throttling rates or add success/error callbacks, pass in a custom BulkWriter instance.

<any, any> | FirebaseFirestore.DocumentReference
<any, any>

Executes the given updateFunction and commits the changes applied within the transaction.
You can use the transaction object passed to 'updateFunction' to read and modify Firestore documents under lock. You have to perform all reads before before you perform any write.
Transactions can be performed as read-only or read-write transactions. By default, transactions are executed in read-write mode.
A read-write transaction obtains a pessimistic lock on all documents that are read during the transaction. These locks block other transactions, batched writes, and other non-transactional writes from changing that document. Any writes in a read-write transactions are committed once 'updateFunction' resolves, which also releases all locks.
If a read-write transaction fails with contention, the transaction is retried up to five times. The updateFunction
is invoked once for each attempt.
Read-only transactions do not lock documents. They can be used to read documents at a consistent snapshot in time, which may be up to 60 seconds in the past. Read-only transactions are not retried.
Transactions time out after 60 seconds if no documents are read. Transactions that are not committed within than 270 seconds are also aborted. Any remaining locks are released when a transaction times out.
