# Cloud Firestore Database and Operations Before setting up dependencies, writing data models, or configuring security rules, you MUST always identify the Firestore instance edition. ## 1. Instance Selection and Edition Detection Run the following command to list current Firestore databases: `bash npx -y firebase-tools@latest firestore:databases:list` ### A. Instance Found 1. For each database found, inspect its edition and details: `bash npx -y firebase-tools@latest firestore:databases:get <database-id>` 1. Ask the user which database instance they wish to target or if they would prefer to create a new instance. 1. Once the target instance is established: - If the **`edition`** is `STANDARD`, follow the guides under `references/standard/`. - If the **`edition`** is `ENTERPRISE` or native mode, follow the guides under `references/enterprise/`. ### B. No Instance Found (or New Requested) If no databases exist or the user requests a new one, default to provisioning an **Enterprise** edition database and ask the user what location to use. Run `npx -y firebase-tools@latest firestore:locations` to get the list of options. Suggest colocating with other resources if applicable. Once the location is determined, create the database: `bash npx -y firebase-tools@latest firestore:databases:create <database-id> --edition="enterprise" --location="<selected-location>"` Proceed with using the guides under `references/enterprise/`. ______________________________________________________________________ ## 2. Specialized Guides Based on the identified or created instance edition, open and read the corresponding reference guides: ### Standard Edition (`references/standard/`) - **Provisioning**: Read [provisioning.md](references/standard/provisioning.md) - **Security Rules**: Read [security_rules.md](references/standard/security_rules.md) - **SDK Usage**: Read [web_sdk_usage.md](references/standard/web_sdk_usage.md), [android_sdk_usage.md](references/standard/android_sdk_usage.md), [ios_setup.md](references/standard/ios_setup.md), or [flutter_setup.md](references/standard/flutter_setup.md) - **Indexes**: Read [indexes.md](references/standard/indexes.md) ### Enterprise Edition / Native Mode (`references/enterprise/`) - **Provisioning**: Read [provisioning.md](references/enterprise/provisioning.md) - **Data Model**: Read [data_model.md](references/enterprise/data_model.md) - **Security Rules**: Read [security_rules.md](references/enterprise/security_rules.md) - **SDK Usage**: > [!CRITICAL] **Mandatory Reference Reading** Before writing or modifying any > application code for Firestore Enterprise Edition, you **MUST** read at > least one of the relevant reference documents below for the target > platform/language to understand specific architectural requirements and > pipeline initialization patterns. Read [web_sdk_usage.md](references/enterprise/web_sdk_usage.md), [python_sdk_usage.md](references/enterprise/python_sdk_usage.md), [android_sdk_usage.md](references/enterprise/android_sdk_usage.md), [ios_setup.md](references/enterprise/ios_setup.md), or [flutter_setup.md](references/enterprise/flutter_setup.md) - **Indexes**: Read [indexes.md](references/enterprise/indexes.md)
