Fixing Firebase Firestore Queries with firestore-db for web and react-native-firebase

Motivation :

I have been working with firestore for almost 4 years now for Web and and Native apps with React Native and also been annoyed by few of the quarks of the firestore because I mainly used Mongodb or SQL.

• Channing every single condition with another where function
  Like : dbref.where("name","==","John").where(....) and so on and then orderBy for each one as well as limit.

• Everytime it returns you have to do doc.data() to get the actual data if It's an query then map each item and do .data() on them.

• Doing anykind of search is Nightmare doesn't supports full text search but partial search is also annoying.

Solution:

Firestore-db : A utility package for firebase firestore and react-native-firebase to perform firestore queries easily with syntax inspired by mongoose like find,fineOne and also enable limited search options aswell.

Installation

npm install firestore-db
or
yarn add firestore-db

Examples

importing queryBuilder and creating an instance for web or node js

import firebase from 'firebase/app';import 'firebase/auth';import 'firebase/firestore';import { queryBuilder } from 'firestore-db';const Users = queryBuilder(firebase.firestore().collection("users"));

for react native

import firestore from '@react-native-firebase/firestore'; import { queryBuilder } from 'firestore-db';const Users = queryBuilder(firebase.firestore().collection("users"));

Queries

find() : find can take an object containing key value pair where query can be string, array or object with operator and value. the param bjects can also take orderBy and limit and returns and array of results no need to call data() functions to get the results.
ex :

Users.find({    firstName:"John",    city :["New York","Los Angeles"],    age : {">=",18},    limit:10,    orderBy:"createdAt",    //or  orderBy: ['createdAt', 'asc']  // with acs/desc    //or orderBy: [['userId', 'desc'], ['createdAt', 'asc']] // multiple orderby    })

here are all available functions and request params

Thanks for reading try it out once.
