README
## What is it?
This package is used to communicate with Google Cloud Firestore.
It allows to add, modify and fetch data from your databases aswell as subscribing to data at the paths you specify which yields a `payload` whenever a value changes.
## The Nodes
There are 3 nodes included with this contrib:
| Node | Purpose |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Firestore IN | Subscribes to data at the specified path,
which yields a `payload` whenever a value changes. |
| Firestore GET | Fetches data from the specified path.
Query constraints can be used to sort and order your data. |
| Firestore OUT | `SET`, `UPDATE` or `DELETE` data at the target Database. |
## Features
- Editable List for Query Constraints
You can statically define your Query Constraints with an Editable List, which is used to sort and order your data as required.
- Error message for incorrect input
The field provides feedback if the input is incorrect, specifying the reason for the error.
- Drag and drop JSON file
Automatically populates the fields with the content of the JSON file you provide.
## How to use?
- From Manage Palette
Find this package `@gogovega/node-red-contrib-cloud-firestore` and click install.
- Install Manually
`.node-red` is usually relative to the users home directory that is running Node RED.
```bash
cd ~/.node-red
npm install @gogovega/node-red-contrib-cloud-firestore@latest --omit=dev
```
Remember to restart Node RED after using either method.

## Telemetry Usage
This project collects anonymous telemetry data to improve the user experience of the `First Flow` tour guide.
The data collected only contains the progress of the tour. No personal information or credential is collected.
This data will be used to improve the tour and potentially create other interactive tutorials if there is interest. Read more [here](https://github.com/GogoVega/node-red-contrib-cloud-firestore/wiki/tours).
