Adding & Editing Data

Adding a Document

To add a document, click Add Document or Add Collection at the top of a listing.
You can either add some fields immediately or create an empty document first.
If you leave the Doc ID field empty, Firelize will generate a random ID for you.

About Collections

Keep in mind that in Firebase, collections are neither explicitly created nor deleted. Collections exist as soon as you add a document and are deleted automatically when all documents are removed. Therefore, to add a collection, you must first add a document to it.

Adding Fields

To add a field at the top level of a document, click Add Field above the document.
For arrays and maps, you’ll find an Add Field button at the end of the field, allowing you to add a new entry to the array or map.

To add a field to a nested object, click Add Field on the object you want to add the field to.

Editing Field Values

To edit a field, double-click the field value to enter edit mode.
After making your edits, press Enter to save the changes or Escape to discard them.

Alternatively, you can right-click a field to open the context menu and select Edit Value.

Renaming Fields

To rename a field, double-click the field key and press Enter to save the new key.
To discard the changes, press Escape.

Alternatively, you can right-click a field and select Rename Field from the context menu.

Keep in Mind

Since there is no API for renaming fields, Firelize deletes the old field and creates a new one simultaneously. Keep this in mind, as it could trigger unwanted side effects if you’re using onDocumentUpdated triggers.
