New Document in Firestore Collection on Firebase Admin

Description:Emit new event when a structured query returns new documents

Version:0.0.8

Firebase Admin Overview#

The Firebase Admin SDK API provides powerful backend functionality for Firebase apps. It allows you to interact with Firebase services like Firestore, Firebase Realtime Database, Firebase Storage, and Firebase Authentication directly from a server. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate complex workflows, respond to Firebase events in real-time, and integrate with countless other services.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "firebase_admin_sdk-new-doc-in-firestore-collection",
  name: "New Document in Firestore Collection",
  description: "Emit new event when a structured query returns new documents",
  version: "0.0.8",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    query: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.firebase,
        "query",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async processEvent() {
      const structuredQuery = JSON.parse(this.query);

      const queryResults = await this.firebase.runQuery(structuredQuery);

      for (const result of queryResults) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(result);
        this.$emit(result, meta);
      }
    },
    generateMeta({ document }) {
      const {
        name,
        createTime,
      } = document;
      const id = name.substring(name.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
      return {
        id,
        summary: name,
        ts: Date.parse(createTime),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Firebase Admin	`firebase`	`app`	This component uses the Firebase Admin app.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Database Region	`databaseRegion`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "us-central1", "value": "firebaseio.com" }{ "label": "europe-west1", "value": "europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app" }{ "label": "asia-southeast1", "value": "asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app" }`
Structured Query	`query`	`string`	Enter a structured query that returns new records from your target collection. Example: `{ "select": { "fields": [] }, "from": [ { "collectionId": "<YOUR COLLECTION>", "allDescendants": "true" } ] }`

Trigger Authentication#

Firebase Admin uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Firebase Admin account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Firebase Admin APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
