gatsby-source-firebase-collections

Gatsby source plugin for building websites using Firebase Firestore as a data source

Usage

1. Generate and download a Firebase Admin SDK private key by accessing the Firebase Project Console > Settings > Service Accounts

2. Rename and put the downloaded .json crendtial file somewhere in the GatsbyJS project (e.g. ./credentials.json)

3. Add gatsby-source-firebase-collections as a dependency by running using npm or yarn:

   npm i gatsby-source-firebase-collections
   # or
   yarn add gatsby-source-firebase-collections

4. Configure settings at gatsby-config.js, for example:

   module.exports = {
     plugins: [
       {
         resolve: `gatsby-source-firebase-collections`,
         options: {
           // credential or appConfig
           credential: require(`./credentials.json`),
           appConfig: {
             apiKey: 'api-key',
             authDomain: 'project-id.firebaseapp.com',
             databaseURL: 'https://project-id.firebaseio.com',
             projectId: 'project-id',
             storageBucket: 'project-id.appspot.com',
             messagingSenderId: 'sender-id',
             appID: 'app-id',
           },
           types: [
             {
               type: `Book`,
               collection: `books`,
               map: (doc) => ({
                 title: doc.title,
                 isbn: doc.isbn,
                 author___NODE: doc.author.id,
               }),
             },
             {
               type: `Author`,
               collection: `authors`,
               map: (doc) => ({
                 name: doc.name,
                 country: doc.country,
                 books___NODE: doc.books.map((book) => book.id),
               }),
             },
           ],
         },
       },
     ],
   };

   Note that you will need to have books and authors in Firestore matching this schema before Gatsby can query correctly, e.g books__NODE on author needs to be an array with books as a key of reference types to book documents.

5. Test GraphQL query:

   {
     allBooks {
       edges {
         node {
           title
           isbn
           author {
             name
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }
