☂️ Bring Modular V9 to React Native Firebase

[Lyokone]

This issue will track the progress and gather feedback for bringing the V9 API of Firebase to React Native Firebase.

The objective is to have a compatible API so people may adopt the V9 API if they wish, or if they were already using firebase-js-sdk v9 and find they need some native features provided by react-native-firebase, they may adopt react-native-firebase with zero code changes.

hey @Lyokone @mikehardy, thank you for your hard work on it! #heroes

I'm quite interested in the firestore item, is this progress list up to date?

Thank you

[Lyokone]

Hello @adrianotadao, Firestore hasn't yet been brought to modular v9 APIs. It will probably be dealt with in the coming weeks.

[Nantris]

If I'm not mistaken, at least one of these items and possibly several are released and need to be checked off in this issue.

storage appears to be exposed but is unchecked: #6958

I guess auth and database are a ways off since they don't show any relevant PRs on the list? Or do those maybe need updating too? Those are the two that are preventing us from upgrading from using the web version to using react-native-firebase in our project.

[mikehardy]

@slapbox only storage status was out of date, we just merged+released that one

If there is no relevant PR then the work is not in progress yet, we don't provide ETAs but they are all "next on the list" basically. Slowly but surely...

Github bot doesn't seem to care for work-life balance. Let's not be pushed into a rat race :)
Thanks for the great work.

I am unable to see any exposed modular functions. Is it possible to try, for instance, modular storage functions in the latest 18.2.0 release? If yes, could you please provide an example?

[apetta]

Would be great to try this!

[Nantris]

Database work is done and can be checked off!

#7136

Thanks @exaby73 and others who worked on it!

[exaby73]

Just a couple more items to be checked off :)

[Nantris]

Are there any known changes in Firebase 10 which these changes might not be compatible with?

[exaby73]

We'd have to compare the release notes I guess, starting with the initial release of v10. We can worry about that once we catch up to V9 first :)

[exaby73]

All modules have been migrated to the modular APIs, with the merge of #7390. This has been a long running effort but we've finally gotten there 🎉

Having trouble converting Firebase JS v9 code to the modular React Native Firebase equivalent. Can you please assist by providing the import changes needed to do the following commands without any further code changes?

`
import {
doc,
updateDoc,
getDoc,
onSnapshot,
arrayUnion,
arrayRemove,
writeBatch,
increment
} from 'firebase/firestore';

const batch = writeBatch(db);
const userRef = doc(db, 'users', userID);

//batch
batch.update(userRef,{
[user.books]: arrayUnion(bookName),
[user.visits]: increment(1)
})

//updateDoc
await updateDoc(userRef, {
[user.books]: arrayRemove(bookName),
});

AND

//getDoc
const userSnap = await getDoc(userRef);
var documentData = userSnap.data();

//onSnapshot
const unsubscribe = onSnapshot(doc(db, 'users', userID), snap => {
const documentData = snap.data();
…
});
`

Thank you!

[RobertSasak]

Simply import from '@react-native-firebase/auth' as you woule normally do.

import {
  getAuth,
  onAuthStateChanged,
  signInAnonymously,
} from '@react-native-firebase/auth'

However currently there seems to be only few Typescript definition files. So not TS support yet.

I openned a discussion about using modular syntax at #7597

[younes0]

@RobertSasak we could open an issue about the missing TS definitions.
