Firestore (Package of the Week)

Firestore is a flexible, scalable NoSQL database for mobile, web and server development by Firebase. It offers real-time updates, security rules to keep your user’s data safe, and offline capabilities right out of the box.

Flutter and Firebase, Made for each other. Except Firebase doesn't support all platforms that Flutter lets you build apps for 💔

Firestore is awesome, but when is official desktop support coming?

Pineapple on Pizza — Italians crying in the corner

[tammodirksen]

Hope I can help a few people with this because the Flutter team keeps promoting the StreamBuilder: I would be careful using StreamBuilder. When used inside Widget build it might get called again and again which pulls data from Firebase unnecessarily because your widget rebuilds somehow. If you are getting serious about Firebase and Flutter, decouple the data logic from your UI. And if you want to display the same data on multiple pages in your app, look into some state management solutions like Provider, Riverpod, GetX or Bloc… (Whatever you prefer).

Flutter and Firebase connect beautifully and StreamBuilder looks cool if you get started but I don’t think it is a good option if you are getting just a bit more serious and don’t want to sell your kidney. If used right Firebase is not that expensive

Implementing it tomorrow in my Mobile App Project. What a coincidence!

[akinbamitaofeek]

Firebase is my favorite, the real-time update is unmatched, but gets exponentially expensive as your users grow.

Completely forgot everything else in the video before when you mentioned pineapple and pizza in the same statement.

Firestore is cool though.

There we go flutter is fluttering ❤ 😊😊

Firestore could be best for all cases, but it's vendor lock is such a problem that people build only hobby project with it.

Your most Canadian episode to date! :D

[krtirtho]

Can't call it perfect as firebase is only in Android, ios
Other platforms always feel secondary in flutter. Desktop and web never get proper plugin support

[kareem_ahmed]

Is there a way to make a button that refreshes the page?

[spydergs]

The comment about pineapple on pizza instantly made me only want to use Flutter.
Never touching React again.

Hawaiian ham and pineapple is the best of the best pizza.

[nanakwame]

No Firebase UI widgets like FIrestoreListview?

[vinceryancabonita]

Sadly if you integrate firestore into your app, the building time will take much longer specifically on ios. Don't know why is this happening. But the product is very useful <3

[sokrates]

Will the package move to modules later on?

[ShivamJha]

When will it support desktop platforms

[shamsulazhar]

I know it's a joke, but I really do love pineapple on my pizza

[binaerverkehr]

2:02 "Like pineapple on pizza" 🤢

i hope firestore support full text search by it self and does not depend on third party service
