# Cloud Firestore Plugin for Flutter
A Flutter plugin to use the [Cloud Firestore API](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/).
[![pub package](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/cloud_firestore.svg)](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/cloud_firestore)
For Flutter plugins for other Firebase products, see [FlutterFire.md](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blob/master/FlutterFire.md).
*Note*: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. [Feedback](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pulls) are most welcome!
## Setup
To use this plugin:
1. Using the [Firebase Console](http://console.firebase.google.com/), 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 the
`maven.google.com` as [described here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#add_the_sdk).
1. Using the [Firebase Console](http://console.firebase.google.com/), 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.
1. Add `cloud_firestore` as a [dependency in your pubspec.yaml file](https://flutter.io/platform-plugins/).
## Usage
```dart
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
```
Adding a new `DocumentReference`:
```dart
Firestore.instance.collection('books').document()
.setData({ 'title': 'title', 'author': 'author' });
```
Binding a `CollectionReference` to a `ListView`:
```dart
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:
```dart
Firestore.instance
.collection('talks')
.where("topic", isEqualTo: "flutter")
.snapshots()
.listen((data) =>
data.documents.forEach((doc) => print(doc["title"])));
```
Get a specific document:
```dart
Firestore.instance
.collection('talks')
.document('document-name')
.get()
.then((DocumentSnapshot ds) {
// use ds as a snapshot
});
```
Running a transaction:
```dart
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});
}
});
```
