@firebase/firestore
Advanced tools
This is the Cloud Firestore component of the Firebase JS SDK.
This package is not intended for direct usage, and should only be used via the officially supported firebase package.
If you are developing a Node.js application that requires administrative access to Cloud Firestore,
use the @google-cloud/firestore Server
SDK with your developer credentials.
For comprehensive documentation please see the Firebase Reference Docs.
See Contributing to the Firebase SDK for general information about contributing to the firebase-js-sdk repo and Contributing to the Cloud Firestore Component for details specific to the Cloud Firestore code and tests.
Mongoose is an ODM (Object Data Modeling) library for MongoDB and Node.js. It manages relationships between data, provides schema validation, and is used to translate between objects in code and the representation of those objects in MongoDB. Compared to @firebase/firestore, Mongoose is specific to MongoDB and does not offer real-time data synchronization.
Sequelize is a promise-based Node.js ORM for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server. It features solid transaction support, relations, eager and lazy loading, read replication, and more. Unlike @firebase/firestore, Sequelize is focused on SQL databases and does not provide real-time data updates or offline support.
PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database that allows you to store data locally while offline, then synchronize it with CouchDB and compatible servers when the application is back online, keeping the user's data in sync no matter where they next login. While it offers offline data storage and sync capabilities similar to Firestore, it is more suited for applications that require data to be stored locally on the user's device.
