React-native-firebase: Cloud firestore session persistence

[ghost]

Issue

I am trying to enable persistence for specific cloud firestore collections so that when the app is closed and then reopened I do not need to load the data directly from Firebase again.

(Much like authentication in the app with no network connection)

---

Use case

I have a collection called 'users-info' that holds details such as Firstname and Avatar. When the app is opened with no network connection the user is authenticated and can see their profile with the user-info doc for their account.

Is this possible using react-native-firebase?

Many thanks :+1:

Unfortunately the only reference I can find to persistence is for the entire app, which is currently exposed (link). Looks like it isn't possible for specific collections I'm afraid.

@Ehesp . Is offline persistence enables on cloud firestore with react native?

[dsernst]

@Ehesp: Those linked docs (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/firestore/FirebaseFirestoreSettings.Builder.html#setPersistenceEnabled(boolean)) say this is enabled by default, but that doesn't seem to be the case in react-native-firebase@6.

Is it expected to be on?
