Introduction

FireORM24 is a lightweight wrapper for firebase-admin designed to simplify interactions with Firestore databases. By abstracting the access layer and offering a familiar repository pattern, FireORM24 streamlines the development process for applications that use Firestore, allowing developers to concentrate on creating new features without dealing with the intricacies of Firestore.

Willy Ovalle (GH Profile), the original maintainer, stepped down from active support in March 2023. Since then, the project has been maintained through community contributions. The current effort, under the name FireORM24, focuses on updating the project with the latest security patches and new features to align with the latest Firebase advancements. The original project can be found here.

For more information on the motivations behind the project, you can read Willy's original introductory post on Medium. The API documentation is also available.

Usage

  1. Install the npm package:
yarn add fireorm24 reflect-metadata #or npm install fireorm24 reflect-metadata

# note: the reflect-metadata shim is required
  1. Initialize your Firestore application:
import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getFirestore } from "firebase/firestore";
import serviceAccount from "../firestore.creds.json"; // Adjust path as necessary

const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    authDomain: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID.firebaseapp.com",
    projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
    storageBucket: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID",
    appId: "YOUR_APP_ID",
};

// Initialize Firebase
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

// Initialize Cloud Firestore and get a reference to the service
const db = getFirestore(app);
fireorm.initialize(db);
  1. Create your Firestore models:
import { Collection } from 'fireorm24';

@Collection()
class Programmer {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  language: string;
}
  1. Manage your Firestore data with ease!
import { Collection, getRepository } from 'fireorm24';

@Collection()
class Programmer {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  language: string;
}

const programmerRepository = getRepository(Programmer);

const willy = new Programmer();
willy.name = "Willy Ovale";
willy.language = "Typescript";

const programmerDocument = await programmerRepository.create(willy); // Create programmer

const mySuperProgrammerDocument = await programmerRepository.findById(programmerDocument.id); // Read programmer

mySuperProgrammerDocument.language = "Typescript, .NET";
await programmerRepository.update(mySuperProgrammerDocument); // Update programmer

await programmerRepository.delete(mySuperProgrammerDocument.id); // Delete programmer

Firebase Complex Data Types

Firestore supports complex data types such as GeoPoint and Reference. The integration of full support for these data types into the new FireORM project is currently in progress. This section will be updated with detailed information once the support is fully implemented.

Current Workaround

In the meantime, you can utilize Class Transformer's @Type decorator for handling nested objects. For example, refer to the GeoPoint Example.

Limitations

Currently, casting GeoPoints to a custom class requires latitude: number and longitude: number as public class fields. This limitation will be addressed in future updates.

Development

Initial Setup

  1. Clone the project from github:
git clone https://github.com/elersong/fireorm24.git
  1. Install the dependencies:
yarn # npm install

Testing

Fireorm has two types of tests:

  • Unit tests: yarn test # or npm test
  • Integration tests: yarn test:integration # or npm test:integration

To be able to run the integration tests you need to create a Firebase service account and declare some environment variables.

Test files must follow the naming convention *.test.ts and use jest as the test runner.

Committing

This repo uses Conventional Commits as the commit messages convention.

Release a new version

This repo uses Semantic Release to automatically release new versions as soon as they land on master.

Commits must follow Angular's Git Commit Guidelines.

Supported commit types (taken from here):

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing or correcting existing tests
  • chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation
Manual Release If, by any reason, a manual release must be done, these are the instructions:
  • To release a new version to npm, first we have to create a new tag:
npm version [ major | minor | patch ] -m "Relasing version"
git push --follow-tags
  • Then we can publish the package to npm registry:
npm publish
  • To deploy the documentation:
yarn deploy:doc # or npm deploy:doc

Documentation

  • Fireorm uses typedoc to automatically build the API documentation, to generate it:
yarn build:doc # or npm build:doc

Documentation is automatically deployed on each commit to master and is hosted in Github Pages in this link.
