Data types and global objects in Firebase security rules - Firecasts

[@algdance9987]

Are you guys planning on finishing this rules series? It's been incredibly helpful so far!

[@agung_laksana]

Thanks for this series, Doug! Still waiting for the next video, it has been 2.5 months already. I hope Firebase team can finish this series ASAP since firebase security rules is really important 🙂

It's been 1,5 years now...

[@DedicatedManagers]

I only see 5 videos in this playlist. In the 5th video Doug says more are to come. Its been 10 months since the last video. Was this series abandoned?

Thanks for defining all the types. A cheatsheet would be really handy.

[@dougstevenson3769]

I always have the API documentation handy, which briefly discusses each of the types and their operations. The team is looking to improve this going forward, but it is definitely your best reference today: firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rules/rules

[@conormcelvaney]

Thanks Doug, wonderfully explained as usual

[@BogacGuven]

As always, very informative. Thank you Doug 👍

[@ongcz]

We need a real Example.

[@EagerEggplant]

This is so informative! I've wasted so much time on documentation and stackoverflow until the latter lead me here!

[@Firebase]

Glad it was helpful!

Is there a way to get the element of list arrayUnion? ex. get userUID from security rules when client does set("userUID": FieldValue.arrayUnion([userUID]) I tried request.resource.data.userUID. but I could not get the arrayUnion element value.

[@vrambassador]

And now how the Syntax of the Rules look?

Nice Video About Firebase 👌

[@SusanthCom]

Please update this list. No update from past 1 year 🙈🙈

There were several references to Firestore in this video and I started to wonder if the descriptions on rules syntax and API were exclusive to Firestore. I am using the Firebase Real Time DB and wanted to be sure I should consider this a useful resource.

[@dougstevenson3769]

Most should apply to both Cloud Firestore and Cloud Storage. Cloud Storage uses path types to determine which object is being accessed. Cloud Firestore uses path types when document references are involved. That's the main difference.

[@BogacGuven]

The title on video thumbnail is for Firebase as a product, but this video is focused on Firestore Db security rules (continuation of last few videos in this series). You should not consider this for Firebase Real Time Db.

Am I the only one that finds the Storage API a bit confusing, You can get an 'itemRef' or a 'listRef' or a 'itemRef' and to get the url of the file you have to make weird forEach of nested promises. I just want the folder list in an array of objects with the url provided all with one call that returns a promise like dirName.forEach(gimmeAllFiles => {}); please thanks.
