A Flutter plugin to use the Cloud Firestore API.
For Flutter plugins for other Firebase products, see FlutterFire.md.
Note: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. Feedback and Pull Requests are most welcome!
To use this plugin:
- Using the Firebase Console, add an Android app to your project:
Follow the assistant, download the generated google-services.json file and place it inside android/app. Next,
modify the android/build.gradle file and the android/app/build.gradle file to add the Google services plugin
as described by the Firebase assistant. Ensure that your
android/build.gradle
file contains themaven.google.com
as described here. - Using the Firebase Console, add an iOS app to your project: Follow the assistant, download the generated GoogleService-Info.plist file, open ios/Runner.xcworkspace with Xcode, and within Xcode place the file inside ios/Runner. Don't follow the steps named "Add Firebase SDK" and "Add initialization code" in the Firebase assistant.
- Add
cloud_firestore
as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
Adding a new DocumentReference
:
Firestore.instance.collection('books').document()
.setData({ 'title': 'title', 'author': 'author' });
Binding a CollectionReference
to a ListView
:
class BookList extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
stream: Firestore.instance.collection('books').snapshots(),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasError)
return new Text('Error: ${snapshot.error}');
switch (snapshot.connectionState) {
case ConnectionState.waiting: return new Text('Loading...');
default:
return new ListView(
children: snapshot.data.documents.map((DocumentSnapshot document) {
return new ListTile(
title: new Text(document['title']),
subtitle: new Text(document['author']),
);
}).toList(),
);
}
},
);
}
}
Performing a query:
Firestore.instance
.collection('talks')
.where("topic", isEqualTo: "flutter")
.snapshots()
.listen((data) =>
data.documents.forEach((doc) => print(doc["title"])));
Running a transaction:
final DocumentReference postRef = Firestore.instance.document('posts/123');
Firestore.instance.runTransaction((Transaction tx) async {
DocumentSnapshot postSnapshot = await tx.get(postRef);
if (postSnapshot.exists) {
await tx.update(postRef, <String, dynamic>{'likesCount': postSnapshot.data['likesCount'] + 1});
}
});
