firestore-cli 0.2.2

Command-line tool for querying/updating firestore

Firestore CLI

This CLI tool allows you to interact with Google Firestore using command-line commands. It includes two main scripts: fsquery and fsupdate.

Installation

1. Install from PyPI:

   pip install firestore-cli
   

Usage

Credentials

To specify the credentials necessary to access Firestore, you can use either of the following methods:

1. Using the --credentials option:

   Provide the path to the Firebase credentials JSON file directly via the --credentials command-line option. Example usage:

   fsquery --credentials /path/to/your/credentials.json --path your/firestore/collection
   

2. Using the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable: Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path of your Firebase credentials JSON file. Example usage:

   export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/your/credentials.json
   fsquery --path your/firestore/collection
   

If neither method is provided, the script will attempt to use the default application credentials (which probably won't go well)

Emulators

If you're using the local firestore emulators you'll want to set an environment variable to influence the Firestore SDK. Use whatever port you're running your firestore emulators on. In this example, that port is 8080.

export FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST="127.0.0.1:8080"

fsquery

The fsquery script allows you to query documents from a Firestore collection.

Command Line Options

• --path collection: Path to the Firestore collection (required).
• --credentials: Path to Firebase credentials JSON file (optional).
• --database: Firestore database name (optional, defaults to '(default)').
• --group: Specify if this is a collection group query (optional).
• --where: Apply multiple filters to the query in the format field:operation:value e.g. --where "some_field == some_value" (optional). It is recommended to place quotes around the expression.
• --id: Query for a specific document ID (optional).
• --orderby: Order the results by specified fields, followed by ASCENDING or DESCENDING (optional).
• --limit n: Return n or fewer results (optional).
• --recursion n: Follow references and fetch the referenced documents up to level n, incorporating them into the document that is returned. (optional, default: 0, which does not follow any references.)
• --out filename: Write the json output to a file named filename

Examples

1. Query all documents in a collection:

   fsquery --path your-collection
   

2. Query documents with a filter:

   fsquery --path your-collection --where "field_name == value"
   

3. Write output to a file

   fsquery --path your-collection --out query.json
   

4. Query documents from a named database:

   fsquery --path your-collection --database my-database-name
   

fsupdate

The fsupdate script allows you to set, add, update, or delete documents in a Firestore collection.

Command Line Options

• --path: Path to the Firestore collection (required).
• --credentials: Path to Firebase credentials JSON file (optional).
• --database: Firestore database name (optional, defaults to '(default)').
• --set: Set a document with the specified ID.
• --add: Add a new document.
• --update: Update a document with the specified ID.
• --delete: Delete a document with the specified ID.
• --doc: Path to the JSON file containing the document data.

Examples

1. Set a document:

   fsupdate --path your-collection --set your-document-id --doc path/to/your/document.json
   

2. Add a document:

   fsupdate --path your-collection --add --doc path/to/your/document.json
   

3. Update a document:

   fsupdate --path your-collection --update your-document-id --doc path/to/your/document.json
   

4. Delete a document:

   fsupdate --path your-collection --delete your-document-id
   

5. Set a document in a named database:

   fsupdate --path your-collection --database my-database-name --set your-document-id --doc path/to/your/document.json
