pkg:data_layer_firestore provides a FirestoreSource class which implements the WatchableSource interface to seamlessly integrate Cloud Firestore into your data_layer ecosystem. This source handles all necessary translation between data_layer's request details and Firestore's querying syntax, while also supporting real-time data streaming.
Instances of a FirestoreSource are meant to be used within the context of a SourceList.
