Package Exports

apollo-datasource-firestore
apollo-datasource-firestore/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (apollo-datasource-firestore) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Apollo DataSource for Firestore

This is a Firestore DataSource for Apollo GraphQL Servers. It was adapted from the CosmosDB DataSource

Usage

Use by creating a new class extending the FirestoreDataSource, with the desired document type. Use separate DataSources for each data type, and preferably different collections in Firestore too. Initialise the class by passing a collection reference created by the Firestore library.

export interface UserDoc {
  // a string id value is required for entities using this library.
  // It will be used for the firestore document ID but not stored in the document in firestore.
  readonly id: string
  readonly collection: 'users'
  name: string
  groupId: number
}

export interface PostsDoc {
  readonly id: string
  readonly collection: 'posts'
  title: string
}

export class UserDataSource extends FirestoreDataStore<UserDoc, ApolloContext> {}
export class PostsDataSource extends FirestoreDataStore<PostsDoc, ApolloContext> {}

const usersCollection: CollectionReference<UserDoc> = firestore.collection('users')
const postsCollection: CollectionReference<PostsDoc> = firestore.collection('posts')

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  dataSources: () => ({
    users: new UserDataSource(usersCollection),
    posts: new PostsDataSource(postsCollection)
  })
})

Custom queries

FirestoreDataSource has a findByQuery method that accepts a function taking the collection as its only argument, which you can then create a query based on. Can be used in resolvers or to create wrappers.

Example of derived class with custom query methods:

export class UserDataSource extends FirestoreDataStore<UserDoc, ApolloContext> {
  async findManyByGroupId (groupId: number) {
    return this.findManyByQuery(c => c.where('groupId', '==', groupId).limit(2))
  }

  async findOneByEmail (email: string) {
    return this.findManyByQuery(c => c.where('email', '==', email).limit(1))?.[0] ?? undefined
  }
}

Write Operations

This DataSource has some built-in mutations that can be used to create, update and delete documents.

await context.dataSources.users.createOne(userDoc)

await context.dataSources.users.updateOne(userDoc)

await context.dataSources.users.updateOnePartial(userId, { name: 'Bob' })

await context.dataSources.users.deleteOne(userId)

Batching

Batching is provided on all id-based queries by DataLoader.

Caching

Caching is available on an opt-in basis by passing a ttl option on queries.
