FireStore Realtime functionality #2577
Description
Activity
Firestore is not realtime database. You can still use realtime database and firestore.
But the Firestore client-SDKs for web, android and ios support data listeners: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/listen
Reacted by Marcus Ataide and Łukasz ByjośWe will confirm with the Firestore product team. Taking this until I find the right contact.
This is on the roadmap for the rest of the Server SDKs. It's already available in Node. Stay tuned!
Cool, thanks 👍
Hey guys, probably not the best place to ask, but I am also trying to implement listen in a Java Project. I am trying to set this up with REST API. Does anyone knows a valid object for it?
I just tried:
{ "addTarget": { "targetId": "alovelace", "once": false, "documents": { "documents": [ "room" ] }, "query": { "structuredQuery": { "from": [ { "collectionId": "room" } ] } } } }Whenever I try, always get:
{ "0": { "error": { "code": 400, "message": "Invalid value (Object), ", "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT", "details": [ { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest", "fieldViolations": [ { "description": "Invalid value (Object), " } ] } ] } } }Please take a look at the Node API and turn on logging to see a dump of the request trace:
Firestore.setLogFunction(console.log)That might help you.
The documentation still not yet updated. https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/listen
Have anyone tried how to implement this?- added a commit that references this issue

I would like to know if there is FireStore realtime functionality like in the android SDK is planned. The old firebase admin SDK had it.
Thanks in advance.
