                                        String path)

Gets a CollectionReference that refers to the collection at the specified path.

Parameters:

path - A slash-separated path to a collection.

The CollectionReference instance.

document

@Nonnull
DocumentReference document(@Nonnull
                                    String path)

Gets a DocumentReference that refers to the document at the specified path.

Parameters:

path - A slash-separated path to a document.

Returns:

The DocumentReference instance.

listCollections

@Nonnull
Iterable<CollectionReference> listCollections()

Fetches the root collections that are associated with this Firestore database.

Returns:

An Iterable that can be used to fetch all collections.

Throws:

FirestoreException - if the Iterable could not be initialized.

getCollections

@Nonnull
Iterable<CollectionReference> getCollections()

Deprecated. Use `listCollections()`.

Fetches the root collections that are associated with this Firestore database.

Returns:

An Iterable that can be used to fetch all collections.

Throws:

FirestoreException - if the Iterable could not be initialized.

collectionGroup

Query collectionGroup(@Nonnull
                      String collectionId)

Creates and returns a new @link{Query} that includes all documents in the database that are contained in a collection or subcollection with the given @code{collectionId}.

Parameters:

collectionId - Identifies the collections to query over. Every collection or subcollection with this ID as the last segment of its path will be included. Cannot contain a slash.

Returns:

The created Query.

runTransaction

@Nonnull
<T> com.google.api.core.ApiFuture<T> runTransaction(@Nonnull
                                                             Transaction.Function<T> updateFunction)

Executes the given updateFunction and then attempts to commit the changes applied within the transaction. If any document read within the transaction has changed, the updateFunction will be retried. If it fails to commit after 5 attempts, the transaction will fail.

Parameters:

updateFunction - The function to execute within the transaction context.

Returns:

An ApiFuture that will be resolved with the result from updateFunction.

runTransaction

@Nonnull
<T> com.google.api.core.ApiFuture<T> runTransaction(@Nonnull
                                                             Transaction.Function<T> updateFunction,
