Firestore Storage

Build Status

Typesafe repositories around Firestore providing a straightforward API to read and write documents.

Usage

npm i firestore-storage-core firestore-storage
import { BaseModel } from 'firebase-storage-core';
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase-admin/app';
import { getFirestore } from 'firebase-admin/firestore';
initializeApp();

// restaurants/{restaurantId}
const restaurantRepo = new RestaurantRepository(getFirestore());

const restaurant = await restaurantRepo.save({
	name: 'FreshFoods',
	type: 'vegan'
});
console.log(restaurant);
/*
{
  id: '0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA',
  name: 'FreshFoods',
  _rawPath: 'restaurants/0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA'
}*/

// Query restaurants based on properties
await restaurantRepo.list({
	type: 'vegan'
});

// More complex queries
await restaurantRepo.query((qb) => {
	return qb
		.where((r) => r.type, '==', 'steak')
		.where((r) => r.address.city, '==', 'NY')
});

The properties id and _rawPath from BaseModel are dynamically added during reads and removed before writes.

Nested collections

When working with nested collections, read and write methods require a parameter to supply a map of all parent document ids

// restaurants/{restaurantId}/reviews/{reviewId}
const reviewRepo = new ReviewRepository(getFirestore());

const review = await reviewRepo.save({
	userId: 'my-user-uid-123',
	stars: 5
}, {
	restaurantId: '0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA'
});
console.log(review);
/*
{
  id: 'a393f73b884c4a0981c0',
  userId: 'my-user-uid-123',
  stars: 5
  _rawPath: 'restaurants/0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA/reviews/a393f73b884c4a0981c0'
}*/

Defining collections and repositories

Create repository classes for each collection you want to query documents from. For example, if you want to query documents to query from the users collection you create a class UserRepository extending BaseRepository. Each repository provides a list of functions for saving, querying and deleting documents, and you can extend each repository based on your needs.

export namespace Collections  {
  // To define restaurants/{restaurantId}.
  export const Restaurants = new CollectionPath(
    // Name of the collection
    'restaurants',
    // Template variable name and property name on the id map
    'restaurantId');

  // When defining nested collections a few generics are required
  // restaurants/{restaurantId}/reviews/{reviewId}
  export const Restaurants_Reviews = new CollectionPath<
    // Template variable
    'reviewId',
    // Type of the id on the model
    string,
    // Type of the id map from the parent collection
    DocumentIds<typeof Restaurants>
  >(
    // Name of the collection
    'reviews',
    // Template variable name and property name on the id map
    'reviewId',
    // Path of the parent collection
    Restaurants
  );
}
// Path to document: restaurants/0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA/reviews/a393f73b884c4a0981c0
Collections.Restaurants_Reviews.doc({
  restaurantId: '0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA',
  reviewId: 'a393f73b884c4a0981c0'
})

// Path to collection: restaurants/0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA/reviews
Collections.Restaurants_Reviews.collection({
  restaurantId: '0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA'
})

// Path template: restaurants/{restaurantId}/reviews/{reviewId}
Collections.Restaurants_Reviews.path();

// Parse ids from path
Collections.Restaurants_Reviews.parse(
  'restaurants/0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA/reviews/a393f73b884c4a0981c0'
);
/**
 * {
 *   restaurantId: '0vdxYqEisf5vwJLhyLjA',
 *   reviewId: 'a393f73b884c4a0981c0'
 * }
 */

Creating repositories

import { BaseRepository } from 'firestore-storage';
import { Repository } from 'firestore-storage-core';

interface Review {
	userId: string;
	stars: number;
}

@Repository({
	path: Collections.Restaurants_Reviews
})
export class ReviewRepository extends BaseRepository<Review, typeof Collections.Restaurants_Reviews> {

	constructor() {
		super(getFirestore());
	}
}

Return value conventions for methods

  • find*() methods return the document or null when no result was found
  • get*() methods always return the document and will throw an error when no result was found
  • list*() methods always return an array and never null. When no result is found, the array is empty
