[!CAUTION] BREAKING CHANGES: v0.1.0: the required version of Node.js is now >=18

What is it?

This package is used to communicate with Google Cloud Firestore. It allows to add, modify and fetch data from your databases aswell as subscribing to data at the paths you specify which yields a payload whenever a value changes.

The Nodes

There are 3 nodes included with this contrib:

| Node | Purpose | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Firestore IN | Subscribes to data at the specified path, which yields a payload whenever a value changes. | | Firestore GET | Fetches data from the specified path.Query constraints can be used to sort and order your data. | | Firestore OUT | SET, UPDATE or DELETE data at the target Database. |

On the video above, we can see the "Query Constraint" feature, which is used to sort and order your data as required, and also shown is the "Drag and drop JSON file" feature, which automatically populates the fields with the content of the JSON file you provide.
