Updating data

Updating Documents in Firestore Eloquent Library​

Updating documents in Firestore is a common operation, and the Firestore Eloquent Library in Laravel provides convenient methods to perform updates. Let's explore how to update documents using the library's features.

Partial Update with update()​

The update() method allows you to update a single document in a Firestore collection. You can use this method to update fields of a document that match certain conditions.

Basic Update​

Let's update the age field of the document with the id 1234 in the users collection.

// Update a user with the specified ID
$userId = '1234';
$user = User::find($userId);
$updatedUser = $user->update([
    'age' => 30
]);

Update Multiple Fields​

You can also update multiple fields of a document. Let's update the status and age fields of the document with the id 1234 in the users collection.

// Update a user with the specified ID
// Update a user with the specified ID
$user = User::where(['user_id', '=', $userId])->first();
$updatedUser = $user->update([
    'age' => 30, 
    'status' => 'inactive'
]);

// Update a user with the specified ID
$user = User::where(['user_id', '=', $userId])->firstOrFail();
$updatedUser = $user->update([
    'age' => 30, 
    'status' => 'inactive'
]);
