public interface Firestore extends Service<FirestoreOptions>, AutoCloseable

Represents a Firestore Database and is the entry point for all Firestore operations

Implements

com.google.cloud.Service<com.google.cloud.firestore.FirestoreOptions>, AutoCloseable

Methods

<T>runAsyncTransaction(Transaction.AsyncFunction<T> updateFunction)

public abstract ApiFuture<T> <T>runAsyncTransaction(Transaction.AsyncFunction<T> updateFunction)

Executes the given updateFunction and then attempts to commit the changes applied within the transaction. If any document read within the transaction has changed, the updateFunction will be retried. If it fails to commit after 5 attempts, the transaction will fail.

Running a transaction places locks all consumed documents. To unblock other clients, the Firestore backend automatically releases all locks after 60 seconds of inactivity and fails all transactions that last longer than 270 seconds (see Firestore Quotas).

Parameter
Name	Description
updateFunction	AsyncFunction<T> The function to execute within the transaction context.

Returns
Type	Description
ApiFuture<T>	An ApiFuture that will be resolved with the result from updateFunction.

<T>runAsyncTransaction(Transaction.AsyncFunction<T> updateFunction, TransactionOptions transactionOptions)

public abstract ApiFuture<T> <T>runAsyncTransaction(Transaction.AsyncFunction<T> updateFunction, TransactionOptions transactionOptions)

Executes the given updateFunction and then attempts to commit the changes applied within the transaction. If any document read within the transaction has changed, the updateFunction will be retried. If it fails to commit after the maxmimum number of attemps specified in transactionOptions, the transaction will fail.

Running a transaction places locks all consumed documents. To unblock other clients, the Firestore backend automatically releases all locks after 60 seconds of inactivity and fails all transactions that last longer than 270 seconds (see Firestore Quotas).

bundleBuilder()

public abstract FirestoreBundle.Builder bundleBuilder()

Returns a FirestoreBundle.Builder FirestoreBundle.Builder instance using an automatically generated bundle ID. When loaded on clients, client SDKs use the bundle ID and the timestamp associated with the built bundle to tell if it has been loaded already.

Returns
Type	Description
FirestoreBundle.Builder

close()

public abstract void close()

Closes the gRPC channels associated with this instance and frees up their resources. This method blocks until all channels are closed. Once this method is called, this Firestore client is no longer usable.

Beta

This feature is covered by the Pre-GA Offerings Terms of the Terms of Service. Pre-GA libraries might have limited support, and changes to pre-GA libraries might not be compatible with other pre-GA versions. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

Recursively deletes all documents and subcollections at and under the specified level.

If any delete fails, the ApiFuture contains an error with an error message containing the number of failed deletes and the stack trace of the last failed delete. The provided reference is deleted regardless of whether all deletes succeeded.

recursiveDelete() uses a BulkWriter instance with default settings to perform the deletes. To customize throttling rates or add success/error callbacks, pass in a custom BulkWriter instance.

Parameter
Name	Description
reference	CollectionReference The reference of the collection to delete.

Returns
Type	Description
ApiFuture<Void>	An ApiFuture that completes when all deletes have been performed. The future fails with an error if any of the deletes fail.
