Firestore Comparison Operators - contains, does not contain, starts with
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am using cloud firestore as my database for my angular application. I wanted to implement text based search but the only option I see is using Angolia but I don’t want to use a 3rd party service. Is it possible to implement text search with just the functionality provided by firestore. Even if it returns the object by matching the first characters will work for me it does not have to be a “contain” query.
Firestore does not support full text search in any form. That's why the documentation suggests the use of another service.

Firebase Firestore: Is there a way to enforce required fields for all documents in a collection?

I need to add many documents to my firestore database and they all need the exact same fields. Is it possible to create a "template" so I don't need to keep adding the same fields to each document I make?
There is no concept of a document template in Firestore. If you need this, most devs create a simple administrative app, and you could of course also consider using one of the 3rd party content management systems that support Firestore.

Guidance on webscraping using Google Sheets [duplicate]

Closed 1 year ago.
I am looking to pull the price data for each of the SKUs I have listed in a google sheet.
My initial try was the use a formula inside of the sheet.
=importxml("SKU Search URL", "//p/span[#data-qa='grid-cell-price']/text()")
This does not work, since the content is dynamic.
What would be the easiest method of obtaining this data?
Google Sheets does not support web scraping of JavaScript controlled elements. you can easily check it by disabling JS for a given site and only what's left visible can be scraped. in your case, that's nothing, unfortunately:

I would like to know if there is a way to format the text of a a text field in firestore with a word break using the firebase console. I would like for example to have result for example (text into 2 different lines or part of different paragraphs)
The sun shine on us.
This is a good news
Whatever text I add in firebase console, seem to default to a simple linear string (output is as follow)
The sun shine on us. This is a good news
I am able to achieve this result by adding formatted text from my app to firestore hoever I would like to do it the same using the firebase console. Thanks
Considering the answer provided by a developer from Firebase in this Github issue here, it seems that Firebase indeed, silently strips newlines (both on input and on output). For this reason, even using \n, for example, wouldn't work for you, as it doesn't support new lines or this kind of formatting.
I searched around and it seems that this is not reported, so feel free to report it in the Firebase Issue Tracker. So, for now, unfortunately, the only option seems to be using SDKs, as you are using in your application, to add data in a formatted way.

How to access “Saved Queries” programmatically?
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have a query saved on BigQuery and I wish to find a way to run it directly on RStudio without copy-pasting it. Is there a way where I can use the link of the saved query to tun it in RStudio?
For now, Saved queries is only accessible through BigQuery UI. There is no way to access it by any API or by code. You can follow feature request at issuetracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/111961970
Hope it helps.

How do you prevent duplicate user properties in Firebase?

I want to add rule so that no duplicate rdate is added in database.
I am beginner to firebase and i don't know how to create rules for stopping duplicate.
This isn't possible with security rules, because rules don't have a way of performing queries for other nodes. The only way you can access other nodes in the database is using val() at the specific location you're interested in knowing about, but you have to know the full path to that specific location.
Your alternative is to make a request through a backend you control (such as Cloud Functions), and have that backend perform the query to check if there is a conflict.
