Methods

commit() → {Promise.<Array.<WriteResult>>}

Atomically commits all pending operations to the database and verifies all preconditions. Fails the entire write if any precondition is not met.

Source:
Example
let writeBatch = firestore.batch();
let documentRef = firestore.doc('col/doc');

writeBatch.set(documentRef, {foo: 'bar'});

writeBatch.commit().then(() => {
  console.log('Successfully executed batch.');
});

create(documentRef, data) → {WriteBatch}

Create a document with the provided object values. This will fail the batch if a document exists at its location.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
documentRef DocumentReference

A reference to the document to be created.
data DocumentData

The object to serialize as the document.
Source:
Example
let writeBatch = firestore.batch();
let documentRef = firestore.collection('col').doc();

writeBatch.create(documentRef, {foo: 'bar'});

writeBatch.commit().then(() => {
  console.log('Successfully executed batch.');
});

delete(documentRef, preconditionopt) → {WriteBatch}

Deletes a document from the database.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
documentRef DocumentReference

A reference to the document to be deleted.
precondition Precondition <optional>

A precondition to enforce for this delete.

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
lastUpdateTime Timestamp <optional>

If set, enforces that the document was last updated at lastUpdateTime. Fails the batch if the document doesn't exist or was last updated at a different time.
Source:
Example
let writeBatch = firestore.batch();
let documentRef = firestore.doc('col/doc');

writeBatch.delete(documentRef);

writeBatch.commit().then(() => {
  console.log('Successfully executed batch.');
});

set(documentRef, data, optionsopt) → {WriteBatch}

Write to the document referred to by the provided DocumentReference. If the document does not exist yet, it will be created. If you pass SetOptions., the provided data can be merged into the existing document.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
documentRef DocumentReference

A reference to the document to be set.
data DocumentData

The object to serialize as the document.
options SetOptions <optional>

An object to configure the set behavior.

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
merge boolean <optional>

If true, set() merges the values specified in its data argument. Fields omitted from this set() call remain untouched.
mergeFields Array.<(string|FieldPath)> <optional>

If provided, set() only replaces the specified field paths. Any field path that is not specified is ignored and remains untouched.
Source:
Example
let writeBatch = firestore.batch();
let documentRef = firestore.doc('col/doc');

writeBatch.set(documentRef, {foo: 'bar'});

writeBatch.commit().then(() => {
  console.log('Successfully executed batch.');
});

update(documentRef, dataOrField, …preconditionOrValues) → {WriteBatch}

Update fields of the document referred to by the provided DocumentReference. If the document doesn't yet exist, the update fails and the entire batch will be rejected.

The update() method accepts either an object with field paths encoded as keys and field values encoded as values, or a variable number of arguments that alternate between field paths and field values. Nested fields can be updated by providing dot-separated field path strings or by providing FieldPath objects.

A Precondition restricting this update can be specified as the last argument.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
documentRef DocumentReference

A reference to the document to be updated.
dataOrField UpdateData | string | FieldPath

An object containing the fields and values with which to update the document or the path of the first field to update.
preconditionOrValues Precondition | * | string | FieldPath <repeatable>

An alternating list of field paths and values to update or a Precondition to restrict this update.
Source:
Example
let writeBatch = firestore.batch();
let documentRef = firestore.doc('col/doc');

writeBatch.update(documentRef, {foo: 'bar'});

writeBatch.commit().then(() => {
  console.log('Successfully executed batch.');
});
