How to listen for realtime updates? about firestoregoogleappsscript HOT 4 OPEN

The APPS Script has a limited time of being active, so the library itself cannot listen to updates (the script would time-out).

You could trigger the script by webhook, but that means you would have to write a listener somewhere else.

@piavgh it's not real time but it might help: on the Google app scripts console go to edit > current project's triggers - there you can configure the function to run every X (even as often as once a minute).
Hope it helps :)

Hey @piavgh, glad you're interested in the library!

This library doesn't currently have realtime update support. It looks like the Firestore REST API does support realtime updates, as seen here under the firestore.projects.databases.documents.listen group.

If you want to take a look through that reference and make a PR adding realtime support, that would be awesome! In the meantime, perhaps @willianwelbert's idea would work for your use case.

A quick review seems to make this plausible, a solid starting point would be to check out the Firebase Rest API Realtime Updates page.

There's a lot of good info there, if someone can take the time to make a PR for this!
