This is a basic demonstration for how to do CRUD tasks (Create, Read, Update, Delete) in an API-like way on a Firestore database.

What's so sweet is that you don't need to set up any kind of server or other typical backend stuff – just write your code! Serverless for the win :)

1. Make sure your credentials are in order (read more at Serverless)
2. Create a keyfile.json in the root of the project (read more at Google)
3. Update projectId in the instance called firestore
4. Run serverless deploy

The command serverless can also be used in its shorthand form sls.

• serverless invoke -f create -d '{ "title": "Some title", "text": "Content goes here" }: Create new document in the posts collection
• serverless invoke -f read: Read all posts documents (outputs to console)
• serverless invoke -f update -d '{ "title": "Some title", "text": "This is the new text" }': Update a named document with new text
• serverless invoke -f delete -d '{ "title": "094BejwD5tF3lQZfKZnR" }': Delete a named document
