pkg:data_layer_firestore_admin provides a FirestoreAdminSource class which implements the Source interface for server-side Dart applications using pkg:google_cloud_firestore.
Instantiate FirestoreAdminSource within a SourceList:
import 'package:data_layer_firestore_admin/data_layer_firestore_admin.dart';
import 'package:google_cloud_firestore/google_cloud_firestore.dart';
final firestore = Firestore(settings: const Settings(projectId: 'my-project'));
final adminSource = FirestoreAdminSource<MyModel>(
firestore,
bindings: MyModel.bindings,
collectionName: 'my_collection',
onCreateServerTimestampFields: ['createdAt'],
onUpdateServerTimestampFields: ['updatedAt'],
);
Note: google_cloud_firestore is designed for server-side Dart and does not support real-time stream watching (watch, watchList, watchByIds). Calling watch methods will throw an UnimplementedError.
