React-redux-firebase: Firestore integration?

[benoj]

Just seen this has been released: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore

Is this worth including into this library?

For people who are confused what the difference is to the firebase real-time database, here is a blog post: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2017/10/cloud-firestore-for-rtdb-developers.html

Fair to expect, that Firestore will be somewhat the successor

@D1no yeah seems that way, although it is still in beta - possibly worth a fork or feature switch?

I have created a new library called redux-firestore that will house logic for redux + firestore (research has been ongoing on for a few months while the product was still in alpha).

It is intentionally agnostic front-end frameworks so that it can be used within framework specific libraries similar to react-redux-firebase (or even just used in here).

This was done to match the plan for moving the framework agnostic core of this library to redux-firebase. Then, way in the future, if things are similar enough, redux-firebase may potentially also require/use redux-firestore so that one top level library can be used regardless of whether you are using realtime database of Firestore.

Further discussion around this can go to the redux-firestore gitter channel or the redux-firebase gitter channel.

can It be integrated with expo?
