WriteBatch

public extension WriteBatch

  • Encodes an instance of Encodable and overwrites the encoded data to the document referred by doc. If no document exists, it is created. If a document already exists, it is overwritten.

    See Firestore.Encoder for more details about the encoding process.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
func setData<T: Encodable>(from value: T,
                           forDocument doc: DocumentReference,
                           encoder: Firestore.Encoder = Firestore
                             .Encoder()) throws -> WriteBatch

    Parameters

    value

    An instance of Encodable to be encoded to a document.
    encoder

    The encoder instance to use to run the encoding.
    doc

    The document to create/overwrite the encoded data to.

    Return Value

    This instance of WriteBatch. Used for chaining method calls.

  • Encodes an instance of Encodable and overwrites the encoded data to the document referred by doc. If no document exists, it is created. If a document already exists, it is overwritten. If you pass merge:true, the provided Encodable will be merged into any existing document.

    See Firestore.Encoder for more details about the encoding process.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
func setData<T: Encodable>(from value: T,
                           forDocument doc: DocumentReference,
                           merge: Bool,
                           encoder: Firestore.Encoder = Firestore
                             .Encoder()) throws -> WriteBatch

    Parameters

    value

    An instance of Encodable to be encoded to a document.
    doc

    The document to create/overwrite the encoded data to.
    merge

    Whether to merge the provided Encodable into any existing document.
    encoder

    The encoder instance to use to run the encoding.

    Return Value

    This instance of WriteBatch. Used for chaining method calls.

  • Encodes an instance of Encodable and writes the encoded data to the document referred by doc by only replacing the fields specified under mergeFields. Any field that is not specified in mergeFields is ignored and remains untouched. If the document doesn’t yet exist, this method creates it and then sets the data.

    It is an error to include a field in mergeFields that does not have a corresponding field in the Encodable.

    See Firestore.Encoder for more details about the encoding process.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
func setData<T: Encodable>(from value: T,
                           forDocument doc: DocumentReference,
                           mergeFields: [Any],
                           encoder: Firestore.Encoder = Firestore
                             .Encoder()) throws -> WriteBatch

    Parameters

    value

    An instance of Encodable to be encoded to a document.
    doc

    The document to create/overwrite the encoded data to.
    mergeFields

    Array of String or FieldPath elements specifying which fields to merge. Fields can contain dots to reference nested fields within the document.
    encoder

    The encoder instance to use to run the encoding.

    Return Value

    This instance of WriteBatch. Used for chaining method calls.
