Cloud Firestore API - Class Google::Cloud::Firestore::Client (v2.15.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Firestore API class Google::Cloud::Firestore::Client.

Client

The Cloud Firestore Client used is to access and manipulate the collections and documents in the Firestore database.

Inherits

  • Object

Example

require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

firestore.batch do |b|
  b.update(nyc_ref, { name: "New York City" })
end

Methods

#batch

def batch() { |batch| ... } -> CommitResponse

Perform multiple changes at the same time.

All changes are accumulated in memory until the block completes. Unlike transactions, batches don't lock on document reads, should only fail if users provide preconditions, and are not automatically retried. See Batch.

Yields
  • (batch) — The block for reading data and making changes.
Yield Parameter
  • batch (Batch) — The write batch object for making changes.
Returns
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

firestore.batch do |b|
  # Set the data for NYC
  b.set("cities/NYC", { name: "New York City" })

  # Update the population for SF
  b.update("cities/SF", { population: 1000000 })

  # Delete LA
  b.delete("cities/LA")
end

#bulk_writer

def bulk_writer(request_threads: nil, batch_threads: nil, retries: nil) -> Google::Cloud::Firestore::BulkWriter

#field_array_delete

def field_array_delete(*values) -> FieldValue

Creates a sentinel value to indicate the removal of the given values with an array.

Parameter
  • values (Object) — The values to remove from the array. Required.
Returns
  • (FieldValue) — The array delete field value object.
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

#field_array_union

def field_array_union(*values) -> FieldValue

Creates a sentinel value to indicate the union of the given values with an array.

Parameter
  • values (Object) — The values to add to the array. Required.
Returns
  • (FieldValue) — The array union field value object.
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

array_union = firestore.field_array_union 1, 2, 3

nyc_ref.update({ name: "New York City",
                 lucky_numbers: array_union })

#field_delete

def field_delete() -> FieldValue

Creates a field value object representing the deletion of a field in document data.

Returns
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

nyc_ref.update({ name: "New York City",
                 trash: firestore.field_delete })

#field_increment

def field_increment(value) -> FieldValue

Creates a sentinel value to indicate the addition the given value to the field's current value.

If the field's current value is not an integer or a double value (Numeric), or if the field does not yet exist, the transformation will set the field to the given value. If either of the given value or the current field value are doubles, both values will be interpreted as doubles. Double arithmetic and representation of double values follow IEEE 754 semantics. If there is positive/negative integer overflow, the field is resolved to the largest magnitude positive/negative integer.

Parameter
  • value (Numeric) — The value to add to the given value. Required.
Returns
  • (FieldValue) — The increment field value object.
Raises
  • (ArgumentError) — if the value is not a Numeric.
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

# Set the population to increment by 1.
increment_value = firestore.field_increment 1

nyc_ref.update({ name: "New York City",
                 population: increment_value })

#field_maximum

def field_maximum(value) -> FieldValue

Creates a sentinel value to indicate the setting the field to the maximum of its current value and the given value.

If the field is not an integer or double (Numeric), or if the field does not yet exist, the transformation will set the field to the given value. If a maximum operation is applied where the field and the input value are of mixed types (that is - one is an integer and one is a double) the field takes on the type of the larger operand. If the operands are equivalent (e.g. 3 and 3.0), the field does not change. 0, 0.0, and -0.0 are all zero. The maximum of a zero stored value and zero input value is always the stored value. The maximum of any numeric value x and NaN is NaN.

Parameter
  • value (Numeric) — The value to compare against the given value to calculate the maximum value to set. Required.
Returns
  • (FieldValue) — The maximum field value object.
Raises
  • (ArgumentError) — if the value is not a Numeric.
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

# Set the population to be at maximum 4,000,000.
maximum_value = firestore.field_maximum 4000000

nyc_ref.update({ name: "New York City",
                 population: maximum_value })

#field_minimum

def field_minimum(value) -> FieldValue

Creates a sentinel value to indicate the setting the field to the minimum of its current value and the given value.

If the field is not an integer or double (Numeric), or if the field does not yet exist, the transformation will set the field to the input value. If a minimum operation is applied where the field and the input value are of mixed types (that is - one is an integer and one is a double) the field takes on the type of the smaller operand. If the operands are equivalent (e.g. 3 and 3.0), the field does not change. 0, 0.0, and -0.0 are all zero. The minimum of a zero stored value and zero input value is always the stored value. The minimum of any numeric value x and NaN is NaN.

Parameter
  • value (Numeric) — The value to compare against the given value to calculate the minimum value to set. Required.
Returns
  • (FieldValue) — The minimum field value object.
Raises
  • (ArgumentError) — if the value is not a Numeric.
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

# Set the population to be at minimum 1,000,000.
minimum_value = firestore.field_minimum 1000000

nyc_ref.update({ name: "New York City",
                 population: minimum_value })

#field_path

def field_path(*fields) -> FieldPath

Creates a field path object representing a nested field for document data.

Parameter
  • fields (String, Symbol, Array<String|Symbol>) — One or more strings representing the path of the data to select. Each field must be provided separately.
Returns
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

user_snap = firestore.doc("users/frank").get

nested_field_path = firestore.field_path :favorites, :food
user_snap.get(nested_field_path) #=> "Pizza"

#field_server_time

def field_server_time() -> FieldValue

Creates a field value object representing set a field's value to the server timestamp when accessing the document data.

Returns
  • (FieldValue) — The server time field value object.
Example
require "google/cloud/firestore"

firestore = Google::Cloud::Firestore.new

# Get a document reference
nyc_ref = firestore.doc "cities/NYC"

nyc_ref.update({ name: "New York City",
                 updated_at: firestore.field_server_time })

#filter

def filter(field, operator, value) -> Google::Cloud::Firestore::Filter

Creates a filter object.

Parameters
  • field (FieldPath, String, Symbol) — A field path to filter results with. If a FieldPath object is not provided then the field will be treated as a dotted string, meaning the string represents individual fields joined by ".". Fields containing ~, *, /, [, ], and . cannot be in a dotted string, and should provided using a FieldPath object instead.
  • operator (String, Symbol) —

    The operation to compare the field to. Acceptable values include:

    • less than: <, lt
    • less than or equal: <=, lte
    • greater than: >, gt
    • greater than or equal: >=, gte
    • equal: =, ==, eq, eql, is
    • not equal: !=
    • in: in
    • not in: not-in, not_in
    • array contains: array-contains, array_contains
  • value (Object) —

    The value to compare the property to. Defaults to nil. Possible values are:

    • Integer
    • Float/BigDecimal
    • String
    • Boolean
    • Array
    • Date/Time
    • StringIO
    • Google::Cloud::Datastore::Key
    • Google::Cloud::Datastore::Entity
