Interface Firestore (3.0.21)

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

bundleBuilder(String bundleId)

public abstract FirestoreBundle.Builder bundleBuilder(String bundleId)

Returns a FirestoreBundle.Builder FirestoreBundle.Builder instance for the given bundle ID.

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.

Creates and returns a new CollectionGroup that includes all documents in the database that are contained in a collection or subcollection with the given @code{collectionId}.

Parameter

Name	Description
collectionId	`String` Identifies the collections to query over. Every collection or subcollection with this ID as the last segment of its path will be included. Cannot contain a slash.
