Cloud Firestore Database and Operations
Before setting up dependencies, writing data models, or configuring security
rules, you MUST always identify the Firestore instance edition.
1. Instance Selection and Edition Detection
Run the following command to list current Firestore databases:
bash npx y firebase tools@latest firestore:databases:list
A. Instance Found
1. For each database found, inspect its edition and details:
bash npx y firebase tools@latest firestore:databases:get <database id
1. Ask the user which database instance they wish to target or if they would
prefer to create a new instance.
1. Once the target instance is established:
If the edition is STANDARD , follow the guides under
references/standard/ .
If the edition is ENTERPRISE or native mode, follow the guides
under references/enterprise/ .
B. No Instance Found (or New Requested)
If no databases exist or the user requests a new one, default to provisioning an
Enterprise edition database and ask the user what location to use. Run
npx y firebase tools@latest firestore:locations to get the list of options.
Suggest colocating with other resources if applicable.
Once the location is determined, create the database:
bash npx y firebase tools@latest firestore:databases:create <database id edition="enterprise" location="<selected location "
Proceed with using the guides under references/enterprise/ .
2. Specialized Guides
Based on the identified or created instance edition, open and read the
corresponding reference guides:
