Firestore-Seed is a powerful library designed to help you populate and manage your Firestore database with ease. It offers a variety of APIs that enable seamless data seeding, ensuring you can quickly set up your Firestore environment for development and testing purposes.

Useful API Explanations and Code Snippets

Initialize Firestore-Seed

  const { FirestoreSeed } = require('firestore-seed');
  const seed = new FirestoreSeed({
    projectId: 'your-project-id',
    keyFilename: 'path-to-your-service-account-file.json'
  });

Create Collections and Documents

  await seed.createCollection('users', [
    { id: 'user1', name: 'Alice', age: 30 },
    { id: 'user2', name: 'Bob', age: 25 }
  ]);

Retrieve Documents

  const users = await seed.getDocuments('users');
  console.log(users);

Update Documents

  await seed.updateDocument('users', 'user1', { age: 31 });

Delete Documents

  await seed.deleteDocument('users', 'user2');

App Example Using Firestore-Seed APIs

Let’s build a simple Node.js app that utilizes Firestore-Seed to manage user data.

App Setup

  const express = require('express');
  const { FirestoreSeed } = require('firestore-seed');

  const app = express();
  const seed = new FirestoreSeed({
    projectId: 'your-project-id',
    keyFilename: 'path-to-your-service-account-file.json'
  });

  app.use(express.json());

  app.get('/users', async (req, res) => {
    const users = await seed.getDocuments('users');
    res.json(users);
  });

  app.post('/users', async (req, res) => {
    await seed.createCollection('users', [req.body]);
    res.status(201).send('User created');
  });

  app.put('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
    await seed.updateDocument('users', req.params.id, req.body);
    res.send('User updated');
  });

  app.delete('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
    await seed.deleteDocument('users', req.params.id);
    res.send('User deleted');
  });

  app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
  });

With the above code, you have a complete CRUD application running using Firestore-Seed APIs. Experiment with the endpoints to create, read, update, and delete user records.

Whether you’re setting up a new project or managing an existing one, Firestore-Seed offers a plethora of features to streamline your Firestore database interactions. Happy coding!
