I was just searching for a tutorial how to use CRUD functions, then i saw in my notifications that u have just uploaded a video explaining exactly this what I need... awesome haha, thanks

[@RobertBrunhage]

Haha, awesome timing! Happy I could help :)

[@Davti555]

​@@RobertBrunhageI actually do have a question... With firebase_auth and cloud_firestore i have more than 64k methods and i think this is quite big. Therefore i have to enebale multidex. Is this bad for some issues around the app? If yes can i make a good login only with firestore? What would you suggest?

[@RobertBrunhage]

@@Davti555 Yes that is a known issue and can read more about it here: github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/21009. I would just enable multidex but if anyone has more knowledge on this, feel free to correct me with a better solution! :)

[@TheTmntmike]

Thank you for your work. It would be nice if you make a video about the rules in the Firebase . (Sorry for my English)

[@RobertBrunhage]

Yeah, that took a while to understand for me. For sure I will make a tutorial on that!

[@leonardoventocilla3275]

@@RobertBrunhage Yeah. Cant wait for that !! For example, a project app that has a the following rules (Lider / Manager / Senior Manager) with Firebase/Firesotore: - Project líder that can make CRUD (ONLY) of his projects. He can see the project of the other project liders. There will be 30 project liders. These project liders are grouped with 3 Project Managers, some 1 (one) project - -- Manager has a team of 10 (ten) project liders. Each Project Manager will be able to CRUD (especially, ‘Read’ the projects ONLY of the project liders of his team). On the top, there is a Senior Project Manager that is the boss of the 3 (three). - Project Managers. The Senior Project Manager can CRUD all the projects of all teams. Afther all, he’s the boss !! Having in mind Firestore "Rules" how can this be done ? Thanks for the help. Can you make a tutorial with this kind of scenario ? Thanks for the help …

What is the difference between DocumentSnapshot and DocumentReference?

[@Alejandro-gg7oz]

how many hours do you practice flutter? you made it look easy but is pretty complicated I'm trying adding provider but I'm so stuck 😄

[@gilmcglory3748]

Very interesting and helpful. Thanks again for another great tutorial. On another note, I'm not seeing many tutorials from Flutter developers/instructors on how to create complete apps for business applications - a lot of snippets and components, but not much like using Flutter with WordPress & WooCommerce, etc. Do you know why?

[@RobertBrunhage]

Glad it helped! The reason I don't do much of whole applications is because... that often leads people to not "think". Many times we want to follow tutorials and want the tutorials to cover those those kind of apps that we want to make. This often leads to long tutorials and in the end, we don't learn as much. Making apps is like many other things and the best way is to learn by doing. I see my tutorials as a way to aid development not make it :) Hope this makes sense!

[@jhonshephard921]

@@RobertBrunhage I think you misunderstood the question. I think is about why there aren't as many resources for Flutter as other tools. I think the answer is WordPress is EXTREMELY common and very old while Flutter is relatively new. Additionally, beginning it(something I am doing now) is more complex than stuff like Django, Wordpress, or Dot Net MVC. All those have controller and view very separate while Flutter combines them.

[@storylineteam]

Anther great tutorial! Please consider making a tutorial on End 2 end encryption of firetore data. It is very important for us in Europe to encrypt the collected data based on the EU law. Also for small small companies like us, using expensive apis lie Virgil is a not affordable approach. All the best from greece

[@sidhu704]

Absolutely clear and concise tutorial, I love it, I was wondering, how do I connect this database to a specific user ID (into the users who are part of the 'Authentication' in Firebase) ? How do I connect them such that only the signed in user can see their respective todo list for example?

[@RobertBrunhage]

Thanks for the positive feedback :) That would be Firestore rules if I understand your question correctly. There you can specify rules for the whole database or for specific documents such as users/{userId} then something like if auth == true. I would recommend that you would check out Firestore rules: firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/security/get-started

[@sidhu704]

@@RobertBrunhage Unfortunately I'm struggling to find out exactly how to make each todo list exclusive to the signed in user. There's no examples or sources for how to connect each user to a database with Flutter specifically. And I'm struggling to translate it from other languages that have examples present online.

[@RobertBrunhage]

@@sidhu704 I will make more tutorials in this in the future but for now maybe my explaination could be enough haha. So what you would do is that when you sign in with firebase auth you get a user object. That user object contains an ID, that id you can then use to create a user node in Firestore. So now you would have a collection of users and a node for each user that has their id as a value. Now you can simply get the document in the users collection that has the ID of the currently signed in user with db.collection('users').document(user.uid) or something like that. Hope this makes sense as I don't remember the syntax on the top of my head. :)

[@kotivideos7140]

great can you do same for firebase crashlytics and firebase notification

[@RobertBrunhage]

Will certainly do this in the future. Haven't gotten that much time to play around in those yet so will have to do that first!

When you get the document you have access to document.data (this is the fields inside the document), and you also have access to document.DocumentId which is the id of the document! :)

Aha! Using Firebase CRUD + BloC(RxDart) would make it possible to make an app like Instagram? I am not experienced with streamcontrollers and firebase CRUD but I guess that's the way to go? I really want to learn how to create a "post" with an image and a title etc. Can I ask you a personal question? what are you working with?

[@RobertBrunhage]

It is fully possible to build an app to create posts etc but to the extent of Instagram I would consider another database which uses SQL instead of NoSQL. There are multiple ways of handling state I just prefer the BLoC(RxDart) vanilla way :). I am a consultant as a SharePoint Developer :)

[@AMODERNArcher]

@@RobertBrunhage Oh so Firebase is not scalable enough for an app like Instagram? Well it seems like I have to hire backend developers in order to make the app I want to accomplish. Hm it's frustrating when you have leads on an idea and you cannot accomplish the product.

[@RobertBrunhage]

@@AMODERNArcher Well Firestore is scaleable but the problem is with a complex app as Instagram there are a ton of different relations of data that will be hard to query for in a NoSQL database compared to a SQL database. If I were you I paint up how the app would work from a backend perspective and see if Firestore has support for those queries etc that you are looking for. But from my experience when it comes to features like see posts from people you follow and only take 10 posts that are ordered in time, they require a bit more complex queries.
