Firebase CRUD

A comprehensive Dart/Flutter package providing streamlined CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for Firebase Firestore with built-in logging, error handling, and type safety.

Features

✅ Complete CRUD Operations: Create, read, update, and delete documents with ease
✅ Real-time Updates: Leverages Firestore's real-time synchronization capabilities
✅ Comprehensive Error Handling: Detailed error logging and exception handling
✅ Flexible Logging: Optional built-in logging with configurable log levels
✅ Testing Support: Integrated support for unit testing with FakeFirebaseFirestore
✅ Type-Safe: Built with strong typing and null safety in mind
✅ Mixin-Based Architecture: Easy to integrate into existing repositories

Installation

Add the following dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  firebase_crud: ^0.0.1

Then run:

flutter pub get

Quick Start

1. Create a Repository Class

import 'package:firebase_crud/firebase_crud.dart';
import 'package:logger/logger.dart';

class UserRepository with CrudRepository {
  @override
  String get collection => 'users';
  
  @override
  bool get forTesting => false;
  
  @override
  bool get enableLogging => true;
  
  @override
  Logger get logger => Logger();
}

2. Use CRUD Operations

final userRepo = UserRepository();

// Create/Update a document
await userRepo.saveDocument(data: {
  'id': 'user123',
  'name': 'John Doe',
  'email': 'john@example.com'
});

// Fetch a single document
final user = await userRepo.fetchDocumentById(docId: 'user123');
print(user.data());

// Fetch all documents
final allUsers = await userRepo.fetchAllDocuments();
print('Total users: ${allUsers.length}');

// Delete a document
await userRepo.deleteDocument(documentId: 'user123');

API Reference

CrudRepository Mixin Methods

saveDocument

Adds or updates a document in the collection. If the document contains an 'id' field, it updates the document with that ID. Otherwise, creates a new document with an auto-generated ID.

Future<void> saveDocument({required Map<String, dynamic> data})

fetchDocumentById

Retrieves a single document by its ID.

Future<DocumentSnapshot> fetchDocumentById({required String docId})

fetchAllDocuments

Retrieves all documents from the collection.

Future<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> fetchAllDocuments()

deleteDocument

Deletes a document by its ID.

Future<void> deleteDocument({required String documentId})

Configuration

CrudRepository Getters

When using the CrudRepository mixin, override these getters to configure behavior:

collection: The Firestore collection name (required)
forTesting: Set to true to use FakeFirebaseFirestore for unit tests (default: false)
enableLogging: Set to true to enable detailed logging (default: false)
logger: Provide a Logger instance for logging operations (default: null)

Error Handling

The package automatically catches and logs errors with detailed context:

try {
  await userRepo.saveDocument(data: {'id': 'user123'});
} catch (e) {
  print('Failed to save document: $e');
}

Errors are logged with context including:

Method name where error occurred
Data that was being processed
Firebase error codes and messages (if applicable)
Error type information

Testing

Use FakeFirebaseFirestore for unit testing:

class TestUserRepository with CrudRepository {
  @override
  String get collection => 'users';
  
  @override
  bool get forTesting => true;
}

void main() {
  test('saves and fetches user', () async {
    final repo = TestUserRepository();
    
    await repo.saveDocument(data: {
      'id': 'test123',
      'name': 'Test User'
    });
    
    final user = await repo.fetchDocumentById(docId: 'test123');
    expect(user.exists, isTrue);
  });
}

Logging

Enable logging to get detailed information about all operations:

class UserRepository with CrudRepository {
  @override
  String get collection => 'users';
  
  @override
  bool get enableLogging => true;
  
  @override
  Logger? get logger => Logger();
}

Log output includes:

⌛ Operation start indicators
✅ Operation completion confirmations
🔴 Error details with context
Operation completion times in milliseconds

Deprecation Notice

The following methods are deprecated in favor of their new names:

docById() → use fetchDocumentById() instead
add() → use saveDocument() instead
fetchAll() → use fetchAllDocuments() instead
delete() → use deleteDocument() instead
isExist() → check document existence using fetchDocumentById() instead
