let userDetails = {
  lastName: "Doe",
  age: 20,
  kidsNames: ["Jam", "Mike"],
  weeklyCars: { monday: "ferrari", tuesday: "benz" },
};

let query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
  value: userDetails, // firestore fieldValue
};
fireSG.add(query).then((response) => {
  console.log(response);
});
// save another data
let query2 = { path: userCollection, key: "Jane", value: "Doe" };
fireSG.add(query2).then((response) => {
  console.log(response);
});

/*
--response--
{
  id: '5t7AyoVQOgOhXap63wtW',
  data: {
    John: {
      kidsNames: [Array],
      lastName: 'Doe',
      weeklyCars: [Object],
      age: '20'
    },
  }
}
*/

NOTE

To overwrite a field you use fireSG.add(query,{force:true}) This will overwrite the existing field data

• id : The document id
• data : The document data

---

Example 2 - Adding data using transaction

let detailsToUpdate = "random data";
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  value: detailsToUpdate // firestore nested field value
};
fireSG.addWithTransaction(query);
/*
it stores items in an array using firebase transaction
*/

• value : The data we want to add to transaction array

---

Example 3 - Updating data

Note: Only existing document can be updated

let detailsToUpdate = "age";
let updatedAge = 35;
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
  childObject: detailsToUpdate, // firestore nested field Key
  value: updatedAge, // firestore nested field value
};
fireSG.updateByID(query);
/*
--response--
John.age updated successfully

--output--
John.age = 35
*/

• childObject : The nested field object key we want to update

---

Example 4 - Update : add to nested object

detailsToUpdate = "weeklyCars.wednesday";
let updatedCar = "bmw";
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
  childObject: detailsToUpdate, // firestore nested field Key
  value: updatedCar, // firestore nested field value
};
fireSG.updateByID(query);
/*
--response--
John.weeklyCars.wednesday updated successfully
--output--
John.weeklyCars = { monday: 'ferrari', tuesday: 'benz', wednesday: 'bmw' }
*/

---

Example 5 - Update : add new value to array

detailsToUpdate = "kidsNames";
let childToAdd = "Jerry";
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
  childArrayAdd: detailsToUpdate, // firestore nested field array Key
  value: childToAdd, // firestore nested field array value
};
fireSG.updateByID(query);
/*
--response--
John.kidsNames updated successfully

--output--
John.kidsNames = ['Jam', 'Mike', 'Jerry']
*/

---

Example 6 - Update : remove value from array

detailsToUpdate = "kidsNames";
let childToRemove = "Mike";
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
  childArrayRemove: detailsToUpdate, // firestore nested field array Key
  value: childToRemove, // firestore nested field array value
};
fireSG.updateByID(query);
/*
--response--
John.kidsNames updated successfully

--output--
John.kidsNames = ['Jam', 'Jerry']
*/

---

Example 7 - Get : field by id

query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
};
fireSG.getByID(query);
/*
--response--
{
  lastName: 'Doe',
  weeklyCars: { tuesday: 'benz', monday: 'ferrari' },
  age: 35,
  kidsNames: [ 'Jam', 'Jerry' ]
}
*/

• response : it returns only one field data

---

Example 8 - Get : all field in a collection

query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
};
fireSG.getByID(query);
/*
--response--
{
  lastName: 'Doe',
  weeklyCars: { tuesday: 'benz', monday: 'ferrari' },
  age: 35,
  kidsNames: [ 'Jam', 'Jerry' ]
}
*/

• response : it returns only one field data

---

Example 9 Find- value in transaction

query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  value: detailsToFind // string ::
};
fireSG.findValueInTransaction(query);
/*
--response--
{
  true
}
*/

---

Example 10 - Get : all value in transaction

query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
};
fireSG.getAllFromTransaction(query);
/*
--response--
{
  
  John.txId: [...],
}
*/

---

Example 10 - Get : last document in the collection

query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
};
fireSG.getLast(query);
/*
--response--
{
  
  John: {...},
  Jane: ...
}
*/

---

Example 11 - Delete : field by id

userID = "Jane";
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
};
fireSG.delete(query);
/*
--response--
Jane deleted successfully
*/

Example 12 - Delete : a value in a nested field

userID = "John";
detailsToUpdate = "weeklyCars.tuesday";
query = {
  path: userCollection, //firestore collection
  key: userID, // firestore fieldKey
  childObject: detailsToUpdate, // firestore nested field Key
};
fireSG.delete(query);
/*
--response--
John.weeklyCars.tuesday deleted successfully
--output--
John.weekly = { monday: 'ferrari' }
*/
