A collection of samples that demonstrate how to call the Google Cloud Firestore API from C#.

This sample requires .NET Core 2.0 or later. That means using Visual Studio 2017 , or the command line.

1. Follow the set-up instructions in the documentation .

2. Visit the Cloud Console and create a new project. (You can't use both Cloud Firestore and Cloud Datastore in the same project, which might affect apps using App Engine. Try using Cloud Firestore with a different project if this is the case).

3. Visit the Cloud Firestore Viewer . From the 'Select a database service' screen, choose 'Cloud Firestore in Native mode'.

4. Select a Cloud Firestore location . Click 'Create Database'. When you create a Cloud Firestore database, it enables the API for you.

5. Set up authentication by following these tutorial instructions .

6. From a Powershell command line, run the Quickstart sample:

   PS C:\...\dotnet-docs-samples\firestore\api\Quickstart> dotnet run
   
   Usage:
   C:\> dotnet run command YOUR_PROJECT_ID
   
   Where command is one of
       initialize-project-id
       add-data-1
       add-data-2
       retrieve-all-documents
   

7. And run the AddData sample to add data to Cloud Firestore:

   PS C:\...\dotnet-docs-samples\firestore\api\AddData> dotnet run
   
   Usage:
   C:\> dotnet run command YOUR_PROJECT_ID
   
   Where command is one of
       add-doc-as-map
       update-create-if-missing
       add-doc-data-types
       add-simple-doc-as-entity
       set-requires-id
       add-doc-data-with-auto-id
       add-doc-data-after-auto-id
       update-doc
       update-nested-fields
       update-server-timestamp
       update-document-array
