A simple way to sync between WatermelonDB and Firestore.
Using npm :
$ npm install firemelon
Using yarn :
$ yarn add firemelon
Firemelon works with both @firebase/firestore and @react-native-firebase/firestore
import { syncFireMelon } from 'firemelon';
async () => {
await syncFireMelon(database, syncObject, firestore, sessionId, timefn());
};
-
database : The WatermelonDB database to be synced.
-
syncObject : An object in which the synced collections and there options are
const syncObject = {
// collections to sync
todos: {
// (optional)
excludedFields: ['color', 'userId'],
// To provide extra filters in queries. (optional)
customQuery: firestore.collection('todos').where('color', '==', 'red'),
},
users: {},
};
-
firestore : The Firestore module used in the app.
-
sessionId : A unique ID for each session to prevent the function from pulling its own pushed changes.
-
timefn() :
A custom function to provide a date for the sync time. default is
new Date()
.This is an example of a more accurate way :
const timefn = () => firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp();
