assign server timestamp in epoch format
adding a function like FieldValue.serverTimestamp() that does the same thing but assigns time in epoch format rather than in normal date time format.
it may be a better choice in order to reduce the data transfer and document collection size.

Speed up Firestore Index Creation
I absolutely love the fact how firebase handles non-existing indexes with a link to the creation of an index.
I also understand, that building the index, even for an empty database takes a couple of minutes, but maybe there is something you can do to speed up the process.3 votes -
Similar to __name__, allow ordering documents by internal createdAt / updatedAt sentinel value
A document always maintain createdAt / updatedAt timestamp value internally. But these fields can't be used for ordering documents.
For example :-
(This is possible)
await citiesRef.orderBy('name').limit(3).get();
(This is NOT possible)
await citiesRef.orderBy('created_at').limit(3).get();
Currently if we need order by timestamp, we need to maintain a separate timestamp field alongside internal createdAt / updatedAt fields. Then create index over that additional field to perform order by timestamp.
Similar to name sentinel, firestore should provide created_at and updated_at sentinel for ordering document. These sentinel should work without any new index, ascending or descending order.

Geohashing examples for firestore Python Admin SDK
I have read this article https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/geoqueries in mentions cool examples on how to implement Geohashes, but I can't find python examples. Is there a recommended way of implementing geohashes on Firebase Admin SDK for python?

Enable keyboard navigation in Firestore console to move between documents using up/down arrow keys.
I suggest that Firebase enhances the Firestore console by adding support for keyboard navigation, allowing users to move between documents using the up and down arrow keys. This feature would improve accessibility and efficiency, especially for users who prefer using the keyboard over the mouse or trackpad. Implementing this functionality would make data management in Firestore more user-friendly and accessible to a wider range of users.

Firestore collection group query on document id
Currently, you cannot use Fieldpath.document_id for collection group queries, which is rather shameful considering you can do that in Firebase UI.

Daily usage limitation chart
We were keep getting the Firestore Quota message tough the usage was just 2% in our billing.
After reaching out to the Firebase team, we found out that there are also daily limitations for each action (Read, Write,..) that was hidden in google cloud console.The suggestion is to make the daily limitation chart visible in Firebase, as this error is effecting the users directly.

Support UUID as a data type
I'm using Go client, and at this time UUIDs are represented as array of numbers. This doesn't make any sense and is quite clunky and unergonomic, but this is the client behaviour - the Go type
[16]byteconverts to that, and there is no way to affect it directly.This also means that a list of UUIDs is impossible to represent at all, since a Go slice converts into an array, and Firestore can't handle arrays in arrays. Btw, that by itself is ridiculous, but right now my problem is with UUIDs specifically.
A list of IDs is a trivial…

Allow cross-project restoring of Firestore databases
When working with Firestore databases, you may want to restore an entire database for testing in your stage project.
However, currently, you can only restore in the same project

Replace collection with new set of documents as an atomic operation
Many time, we have a collection that is created using data received from an API call and the collection needs to be reset to the new data received in the next API call. For e.g., I have a collaborative app. Each user can see who else in their address-book using the app, such that they can collaborate with them. I send the phone contacts to the backend and we check which contacts and using the app and initialize the contacts collection. The phone contacts are synched every day. The next day, when we get the phone contacts, I want simply…

rules map
In Firebase Firestore rules, we currently have various controls and functions, which are very handy. However, array management is not optimal. I propose introducing a map function for arrays in Firebase Firestore rules. This function would allow us to map arrays of objects, significantly simplifying the creation and management of rules.

Allow to assign tags to Firestore databases
With multi-db support in Firestore now launched, this enabled many possibilities but also requires more granular inventory management of the databases created.
--
For compliance reasons and for better management of your cloud assets, it's important to assign metadata to your cloud resources.
Especially for storage services, this is important, as it allows you to track which resources contain PII, who owns them, etc.--
Attaching this kind of data is typically done using tags in Google Cloud.
If it would be possible to attach tags to individual Firestore databases, this would solve the management of databases and allow easier…1 vote -
Allow to attach IAM permissions to databases
With multi-db support in Firestore now launched, this enabled a ton of new features, though the way permissions are granted is not ideal.
--
Instead of being able to attach permissions to individual databases, you have to use conditional IAM permissions on a project level.
--
This leads to problems when you want to grant IAM permissions to employees with access to only a subset of databases.
Granting a subset of databases to access will prevent them from using the Firebase / Google Cloud console, as they will not have permission to view all databases.--
Also conditional IAM permissions…

Allow String to Timestamp conversion in Firestore rules
In Firestore rule, it could be very powerful to convert String containing date to Timestamp. For example, the RevenueCat extension store date as ISO 8601 string and we can't use them in firestore rule because date are not Timestamp.
In my Firestore rule, I would like to do something like :
timestamp.parse(collection.data.expires_date) > request.time

Allow use of the filter value on whereArrayContains within a firestore rule
I believe that by simply allowing access to the whereArrayContains filter value, it should be possible to solve for a use-case which can generally only be resolved using an SQL/relational database or cloud functions.
Take the following query;
getDocs( query( collection(db, "profiles"), where("groupProfileLinkIdReference", "array-contains", "groupProfileLinkId1"), limit(1), ), )If we can access the value which in this case is "groupProfileLinkId1", it becomes possible to do the following;
match /profiles/{profileId} { allow list: if validateListProfileDbEntry(); } function validateListProfileDbEntry(){ let groupProfileLinkId = resource.data.groupProfileLinkIdReference[0]; let groupProfileLink = get(/databases/$(database)/documents/groupProfileLink/$(groupProfileLinkId)).data; return groupProfileLink.isApproved == true; }The way the data is modelled is that every time…

request.query security rules
currently security rules can only check, "limit, orderby and offset" properties of "request.query" object. if they could check our own custom properties , for example, when users search a collection by id, and I only want them to see a list of documents which contain their id then i should be able to do this in the rules
posts/{postId} {
list: if request.query.id == request.auth.uid
}
- this would be really beautiful and makes it way easy to secure list request.2 votes
