Firevel - Firestore
===================

[](#firevel---firestore)

[Cloud Firestore](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php-firestore) library wrapper for [Laravel](https://www.laravel.com) and [Firevel](https://www.firevel.com) compatible with Google App Engine standard environment (PHP 7.3).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. If you dont have firestore project set, check [Cloud Firestore quick start](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/quickstart)
2. Install package `composer require firevel/firestore`
3. Create php.ini in your project directory (where `app.yaml` is stored) with content:

```
; enable the gRPC extension
extension=grpc.so

; Ref.: https://github.com/colopl/laravel-spanner/issues/12
grpc.enable_fork_support = 1

```

If you are going to use library outside Google App Engine please check [gRPC installation guide](https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc).

### Usage

[](#usage)

To access FirestoreClient simply use `Firestore` facade for example:

```
    $data = [
        'name' => 'Los Angeles',
        'state' => 'CA',
        'country' => 'USA'
    ];
    Firestore::collection('cities')->document('LA')->set($data);
```

### Authentication

[](#authentication)

Inside Google App Engine Firestore should work without authentication. For usage outside App Engine check [Authentication guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/master/AUTHENTICATION.md).
