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.1 vote -
Expose createTime & updateTime in scheduled Firebase LevelDB exports
I am using this procedure for regular backups: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/schedule-export
and some tooling to locally analyze data in the resulting (downloaded) LevelDB backups.The Admin SDK exposes (internally, but still) createTime, readTime and updateTime properties on snapshots. I don’t see these properties included in the database exports; which makes them less complete as backups, and less useful for data analysis.

provide feedback on database restore progress
During a restore, there's no way to know how long it will take or where the progress is. It would be great to have some visibility into the process.
I initiated a restore from a backup created by the automated schedules
gcloud alpha firestore databases restore \
--source-backup=projects/PROJECTID/locations/LOCATION/backups/BACKUPID \
--destination-database='DATABASE_ID'I have seen this take between 20 minutes to over a day.
The documentation for this feature is here:

Firestore: Use C++ implementation directly from Swift
Swift has recently gained direct interoperability with C++.
This would allow the current bridging layer written in Objective-C++ to be removed, which would in turn make it possible to use Firestore from Swift cross platform.The Browser Company have created patches for firebase-cpp-sdk to allow this:
https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-firebase
It could also decrease the maintenance burden by removing the bridging layer code.

structure and organization of Firestore collections: documentation
Normally documentation about collections is done in a 3rd party tool like notion, jira, google docs (or notepad for the brave ones).
After a while this easily becomes inconsistent due to ongoing changes throughout the project development. The same way as we document code directly in the code file, it'd be great to document collections directly in the firestore console.
For this, something simple like a text input would suffice (ideally with some minimal markdown, but not mandatory). If developers need to add more detailed info or explanations (and make use of charts, designs, videos, whatever) they could simply add…

Vector embedding search should include distance in results
The newly released capability is https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/vector-search is working very nicely! However, all similar products should return the distance metric in the query results (which the backend has no doubt already calculated) so that the client perform further analysis based on that distance

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.2 votes -

Transactions should allow exponential backoff retries like pub sub
Transactions allow passing an options object with maxRetries, but all retries are immediate. If there are many other functions writing the same document, transactions will fail after all retries (lock will time out). Maybe a better strategy would be to delay with exponential backoff like pub sub does.

custom gpt to firestore
I wanted to create my own GPT using OpenAI's new GPT builder which has "Functions" in it, and I wanted it to be able to use Firestore API to perform CRUD operations, but unfortunately I struggled to find documentation on how to do that.

Allow developers to use the local Firestore database for free
It'd be really nice if you could allow users to create local drafts, of small documents, for instance, and save them locally for free with Firestore.
This way you wouldn't have to coordinate Firestore and its rules with some other database and client code nor would you have to choose the simpler option of getting charged for writes and reads on remote database documents that really only one user is supposed to write and read.
Please note that while you could use the realtime database to save drafts, 1 it's not always easy to figure out whether that'd actually be…

Support offset-based document access and pagination
There should be an easy way to get a specific document by index in a query:

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.
