Way to access tracelog of firestore events (onCreate, onUpdate, onDelete)
One frequent and strange bug we are facing with firestore is the dropping of events when designing large batch onWrite-listeners. This leads to unexpected bugs in production code.
For some reason, when executing say 300 to 1000 onCreates at once, different events seem to drop and are never responded too.
A way to access the tracelog of firestore events (in Stage 1 Cloud functions) would help us debug this problem. It would also help replay event streams in case the database is corrupted due to non-responding to the event streams.

Firestore : Throw error access data with offline cache without enable persistence
When retrieving documents from Firebase's Firestore on the web, if you attempt to read the value from the cache, it will return an empty result.
This seems to be an issue because Firestore's database does not use offline data when accessed from the web by default.
To make developers aware of this, should throw some error if Firestore's database is set to not use offline data, and attempting to read the cache value.

Improve firestore explorer UI - it is too small
The UX when reading large objects in the firestore explorer UI requires too much scrolling in small windows to find the information you are after. I'd propose to:
Note: "window" here refers to where the container where the data of a document can be found or alternatively where all the collection can be found. So the firestore explorer contains usually, a collection window, a document window, (a sub collections window, a document window,...).
- collapse maps by default, or collapse maps if the object is larger than the current window. When dealing with large objects it's currently annoying to find the…

Support deleting collections in the API
Currently you can only delete collections programmatically via the CLI. Otherwise, you have to list and delete every single document in the collection. If those documents have nested collections, you have to (recursively) retrieve and delete every document in the nested collection (As deleting a document does not delete any nested collections the document has). If there are additional levels of nested collections... You get the idea.
I wasn't sure what this other request was referring to so I made this one: https://firebase.uservoice.com/forums/948424-general/suggestions/46562317-api-support-for-deleting-directories

Allow running Firestore queries from console
Running quick queries straight from the console is currently impossible, making it hard to make adjustments DB wide without fiddling with code.

Rules Debugger with Breakpoints
Imagine how cool it would be to have a debugger for my rules, where I can put breakpoints and see what exact data or condition is causing my rules to fail or pass.
Often times I had to spend so much time in trial and error when writing complex rules for my application. If there is a debugger like I mentioned which is more like any other IDE, it would be super easy and a great developer experience.

A "--no-document-updates" flag for Firestore import
It has happened to me that I accidentally deleted some documents. While you can restore a collection from a backup, there is no option to not overwrite existing data.
This unfortunately makes it impossible to restore accidentally deleted documents, without also affecting other documents that have changed since you last made that backup. The restore would undo lots of changes that happened after the backup was made.
I think a very effective and simple solution could be to allow only injecting those documents from the backup that do not exist in de target collection. So no document is ever overwritten/updated…

Add Creator User UID to the Collection Record Metadata
Will allow further security validation and early detection of security checks failures.
To give an example of why this is important,
I use a Firebase Collection as an API alternative, I create a task record that triggers a cloud function, it allows me to manage my resources effectively and provide partial updates, way more flexible than traditional REST, however with API I use bearer tokens to verify that the identity of the person creating the record and deciding if they are allowed or 401, without UID in record metadata I have to send the plain UID as a field in…2 votes -
Firestore hosting in South Africa
Make Firestore and Firebase hosting available on the new Johannesburg Cloud Region; this will greatly assist developers in launching apps within the continent and also assist with local data protection regulations.

Provide a way to document and share models across platforms.
Afaik there is currently no standard way to a) document the structure and organization of Firestore collections and documents stored in a project expected by apps which use it, and b) share the model definition across languages and platforms. Instead, each client requires its own implementation of the app-specific model and conversion to/from Firestore's model which needs to be kept up-to-date as the system involves.
If there were a way to share this model (for ex. proto, JSON schema, other) and easily use it from Firestore APIs, it would reduce dev and maintenance cost and improve developer experience.

Create way to duplicate documents within firebase console so we can easily move them elsewhere
Sometimes it would be nice to have ability to use the console to Duplicate/Copy firestore documents and put them in different locations of the database.

It's impossible to import data into the emulator without first exporting, which is a backwards design
Developers should be able to use the CLI to easily pass in a path to a json file, whose contents may be imported into a firestore emulator collection. For instance:
firebase emulators:start --import ./data/import.json --collection=puzzles

Api to retrieve the list of subCollections present in a collection
We have unstructured data and each document can have different subcollections.
We want to know get the names of all the subcollections present in a collection.Currently we have to iterate over all the documents present in a collection and for each document we are pulling the list of subcollections present in it.
This process is very resource consuming and slow. We have to fire a query for each document present in the collection.Please provide an api something like db.collection("collectioName").listSubCollectionNames();

Firestore return problem path with PERMISSION_DENIED error
While committing a batch to firestore, if a documents breaks one of the security rules, we only receive: Status{code=PERMISSION_DENIED, description=Missing or insufficient permissions., cause=null}
That doesn't tell me which document in the batch has the issue. Can you add the document path the is causing the error? Potentially in the "cause" field?The logic behind this is that we are seeing Crashlytics reports on our android project with these PERMISSION_DENIED errors, and it is near impossible to track it down without more data.

Allow listening to firestore document/query changes without getting a snapshot automatially
The default behavior when listening to a document/query is that you will always get an initial invoke of your listener.
Allowing to change this behavior would give more freedom, in the case that the developer wishes to fetch the initial values asynchronously and then have the changes delivered via the callback.1 vote
