firestore-react

Firestore Data Provider for React Component

firestore-react provides createContainer() function (inspired by Meteor) which creates a HOC to provide Firestore data for your React Components.

Provides two things

• Fetches data and passes down to the presentational components
• Adds a subscriber to listen to live snapshot updates on the query and also removes the subscriber when component is unmounted.

Installation

yarn add firestore-react

Examples

Simple List - Source Code

import createContainer from 'firestore-react';

class App extends React.Component {
  
  render() {
    // this.props.users.loading <= Gives you loading status
    // this.props.users.snapshot <= Gives you Firebase snapshot object of query and it automatically re-renders whenever snapshot updates
  }

}

const AppWithData = createContainer(App, (db) => {
  return {
    users: db.collection('users')
  }
})
