The 2.0 release of the google-cloud-firestore
client is a significant upgrade based on a next-gen code generator, and includes substantial interface changes. Existing code written for earlier versions of this library may require updates to use this version. This document describes the changes that have been made, and what you need to do to update your usage.
If you experience issues or have questions, please file an issue.
WARNING: Breaking change
The 2.0.0 release requires Python 3.6+.
WARNING: Breaking change
If you previously were using modules or functions under the namespace
google.cloud.firestore_v1.gapic
there is a high likelihood you have incompatible code.
To assist with this, we have included some helpful scripts to make some of the code
modifications required to use 2.0.0.
- Install the library
python3 -m pip install google-cloud-firestore
- The scripts
fixup_firestore_v1_keywords.py
andfixup_firestore_admin_v1_keywords.py
is shipped with the library. It expects an input directory (with the code to convert) and an empty destination directory.
$ fixup_firestore_v1_keywords.py --input-directory .samples/ --output-directory samples/
$ fixup_firestore_admin_v1_keywords.py --input-directory .samples/ --output-directory samples/
In google-cloud-firestore<2.0.0
, parameters required by the API were positional parameters and optional parameters were keyword parameters.
Before:
def a_method(
self,
param1,
param2,
param3,
retry=google.api_core.gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
timeout=google.api_core.gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
metadata=None,
):
In the 2.0.0 release, all methods have a single positional parameter request
. Method docstrings indicate whether a parameter is required or optional.
Some methods have additional keyword only parameters. The available parameters depend on the google.api.method_signature
annotation specified by the API producer.
After:
def a_method(
self,
request: RequestType = None,
*
param1,
param2,
param3,
retry=google.api_core.gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
timeout=google.api_core.gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT,
metadata=None,
):
NOTE: The
request
parameter and flattened keyword parameters for the API are mutually exclusive. Passing both will result in an error.
Both of these calls are valid:
response = client.a_method(
request={
"param1": param1,
"param2": param2,
"param3": param3
}
)
response = client.a_method(
param1=param1,
param2=param2,
param3=param3
)
This call is invalid because it mixes request
with a keyword argument param1
. Executing this code
will result in an error.
response = client.a_method(
request={
"param1": param1,
"param2": param2
},
param2=param2
)
WARNING: Breaking change
The enums
submodule has been removed.
Before:
from google.cloud import firestore_v1
direction = firestore_v1.enums.StructuredQuery.Direction.ASCENDING
After:
from google.cloud import firestore_v1
direction = firestore_v1.types.StructuredQuery.Direction.ASCENDING
