API Reference

Below contains an overview of the specifications for the Bundle Builder API, including TypeScript definitions & detailed descriptions.

BundleDocument Interface

The specification for a single document within the configured collection:

type BundleDocument = {
// A list of document IDs to serve in the bundle.
docs?: Array<string>;
// A map containing individual named queries and their definitions.
queries?: Map<string, QueryDefinition[]>;
// A map of parameters and their definitions, which can be provided to a query definition.
params?: Map<string, ParamDefinition>;
// Specifies how long to keep the bundle in the client's cache, in seconds. If not defined, client-side cache is disabled.
clientCache?: string;
// Only used in combination with Firebase Hosting. Specifies how long to keep the bundle in Firebase Hosting CDN cache, in seconds.
serverCache: string;
// Specifies how long (in seconds) to keep the bundle in a Cloud Storage bucket, in seconds. If not defined, Cloud Storage bucket is not accessed.
fileCache?: string;
// If a 'File Cache' is specified, bundles created before this timestamp will not be file cached.
notBefore?: Timestamp;
};

ParamDefinition Interface

The specification of a single parameter defined in a BundleDocument.

type ParamDefinition = {
// Whether this parameter is required. If not provided as a query string, an error will be thrown.
required: boolean;
// The type of value which will be parsed, defaults to ‘string’.
type?:
| "string"
| "integer"
| "float"
| "boolean"
| "string-array"
| "integer-array"
| "float-array";
};

For example, given the follow parameter:

params: {
name: {
required: true,
type: ‘string’,
}
}

When making a request to the bundle HTTP endpoint, the parameter can be provided via a query parameter, e.g. ?name=david. The parameter can be used within a QueryDefinition (see below) value ($name) to dynamically create bundles.

QueryDefinition Interface

A query definition is used to create named queries on the bundle. Each object within the queries map will create a new named query, using the object key as the name. Each query must specify a collection, and optionally a list of query conditions to perform.

type QueryDefinition = {
// The collection to perform the query on.
collection: string;
// An optional list of conditions to perform on the specified collection.
conditions?: QueryCondition[];
};

The conditions parameter can contain an array of QueryCondition interfaces. Each item in the array must only include a single condition.

type QueryCondition = {
// Performs a `where` filter on the collection on a given FieldPath, operator and value.
where?: [
string,
(
| "<"
| ""
| "=="
| ">="
| ">"
| "!="
| "array-contains"
| "in"
| "not-in"
| "array-contains-any"
),
any
];
orderBy?: [string, ("asc" | "desc")?];
limit?: number;
limitToLast?: number;
offset?: number;
startAt?: string;
startAfter?: string;
endAt?: string;
endBefore?: string;
};

For example, to create a query named “products” on a products collection with a where and limit condition, the data structure output should match the following:

queries: {
products: {
collection: ‘products’,
conditions: [
{ where: [‘type’,==, ‘featured’] },
{ limit: 10 },
],
}
}

When providing array values to in, not-in, or array-contains-any filters, you must provide a comma separated value as the value as nested array values are not supported in Firestore. For example:

{ where: [‘category’,in, ‘womens,shorts’] }, // [‘womens’, ‘shorts’]

Any number value will be parsed as a number, however if a string number value is required it should be wrapped in parentheses:

{ where: [‘price’,in,1,2.5] }, // [1, 2.5]
{ where: [‘price’,in, ‘“1,2.5”’] }, // [‘1’, ‘2.5’]

Conditions can also be used alongside parameters. For example, if a parameter type is defined (see above), this can be provided to a condition value to provide dynamic data bundles via the $ syntax:

// ?type=featured


conditions: [
{ where: [‘type’,==, ‘$type’] },
