See https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs for an introduction to Cloud Firestore and additional help on using the Firestore API. Note: you can't use both Cloud Firestore and Cloud Datastore in the same project. Creating a Client To start working with this package, create a client with a project ID: ctx := context.Background() client, err := firestore.NewClient(ctx, "projectID") if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } CollectionRefs and DocumentRefs In Firestore, documents are sets of key-value pairs, and collections are groups of documents. A Firestore database consists of a hierarchy of alternating collections and documents, referred to by slash-separated paths like "States/California/Cities/SanFrancisco". This client is built around references to collections and documents. CollectionRefs and DocumentRefs are lightweight values that refer to the corresponding database entities. Creating a ref does not involve any network traffic. states := client.Collection("States") ny := states.Doc("NewYork") // Or, in a single call: ny = client.Doc("States/NewYork") Reading Use DocumentRef.Get to read a document. The result is a DocumentSnapshot. Call its Data method to obtain the entire document contents as a map. docsnap, err := ny.Get(ctx) if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } dataMap := docsnap.Data() fmt.Println(dataMap) You can also obtain a single field with DataAt, or extract the data into a struct with DataTo. With the type definition type State struct { Capital string `firestore:"capital"` Population float64 `firestore:"pop"` // in millions } we can extract the document's data into a value of type State: var nyData State if err := docsnap.DataTo(&nyData); err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } Note that this client supports struct tags beginning with "firestore:" that work like the tags of the encoding/json package, letting you rename fields, ignore them, or omit their values when empty. To retrieve multiple documents from their references in a single call, use Client.GetAll. docsnaps, err := client.GetAll(ctx, []*firestore.DocumentRef{ states.Doc("Wisconsin"), states.Doc("Ohio"), }) if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } for _, ds := range docsnaps { _ = ds // TODO: Use ds. } Writing For writing individual documents, use the methods on DocumentReference. Create creates a new document. wr, err := ny.Create(ctx, State{ Capital: "Albany", Population: 19.8, }) if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } fmt.Println(wr) The first return value is a WriteResult, which contains the time at which the document was updated. Create fails if the document exists. Another method, Set, either replaces an existing document or creates a new one. ca := states.Doc("California") _, err = ca.Set(ctx, State{ Capital: "Sacramento", Population: 39.14, }) To update some fields of an existing document, use Update. It takes a list of paths to update and their corresponding values. _, err = ca.Update(ctx, []firestore.Update{{Path: "capital", Value: "Sacramento"}}) Use DocumentRef.Delete to delete a document. _, err = ny.Delete(ctx) Preconditions You can condition Deletes or Updates on when a document was last changed. Specify these preconditions as an option to a Delete or Update method. The check and the write happen atomically with a single RPC. docsnap, err = ca.Get(ctx) if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } _, err = ca.Update(ctx, []firestore.Update{{Path: "capital", Value: "Sacramento"}}, firestore.LastUpdateTime(docsnap.UpdateTime)) Here we update a doc only if it hasn't changed since we read it. You could also do this with a transaction. To perform multiple writes at once, use a WriteBatch. Its methods chain for convenience. WriteBatch.Commit sends the collected writes to the server, where they happen atomically. writeResults, err := client.Batch(). Create(ny, State{Capital: "Albany"}). Update(ca, []firestore.Update{{Path: "capital", Value: "Sacramento"}}). Delete(client.Doc("States/WestDakota")). Commit(ctx) Queries You can use SQL to select documents from a collection. Begin with the collection, and build up a query using Select, Where and other methods of Query. q := states.Where("pop", ">", 10).OrderBy("pop", firestore.Desc) Call the Query's Documents method to get an iterator, and use it like the other Google Cloud Client iterators. iter := q.Documents(ctx) for { doc, err := iter.Next() if err == iterator.Done { break } if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } fmt.Println(doc.Data()) } To get all the documents in a collection, you can use the collection itself as a query. iter = client.Collection("States").Documents(ctx) Transactions Use a transaction to execute reads and writes atomically. All reads must happen before any writes. Transaction creation, commit, rollback and retry are handled for you by the Client.RunTransaction method; just provide a function and use the read and write methods of the Transaction passed to it. ny := client.Doc("States/NewYork") err := client.RunTransaction(ctx, func(ctx context.Context, tx *firestore.Transaction) error { doc, err := tx.Get(ny) // tx.Get, NOT ny.Get! if err != nil { return err } pop, err := doc.DataAt("pop") if err != nil { return err } return tx.Update(ny, []firestore.Update{{Path: "pop", Value: pop.(float64) + 0.2}}) }) if err != nil { // TODO: Handle error. } Authentication See examples of authorization and authentication at https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go#pkg-examples. */ package firestore
