fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

useFirestore

Reactive Firestore binding. Making it straightforward to always keep your local data in sync with remotes databases.

Usage

import { useFirestore } from '@vueuse/firebase/useFirestore';
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';
import { collection, doc, getFirestore, limit, orderBy, query } from 'firebase/firestore';
import { computed, shallowRef } from 'vue';

const app = initializeApp({ projectId: 'MY PROJECT ID' });
const db = getFirestore(app);

const todos = useFirestore(collection(db, 'todos'));

// or for doc reference
const user = useFirestore(doc(db, 'users', 'my-user-id'));

// you can also use ref value for reactive query
const postsLimit = shallowRef(10);
const postsQuery = computed(() =>
  query(collection(db, 'posts'), orderBy('createdAt', 'desc'), limit(postsLimit.value)),
);
const posts = useFirestore(postsQuery);

// you can use the boolean value to tell a query when it is ready to run
// when it gets falsy value, return the initial value
const userId = shallowRef('');
const userQuery = computed(() => userId.value && doc(db, 'users', userId.value));
const userData = useFirestore(userQuery, null);

Share across instances

You can reuse the db reference by passing autoDispose: false. You can also set an amount of milliseconds before auto disposing the db reference.

Note : Getting a not disposed db reference again don't cost a Firestore read.

import { useFirestore } from '@vueuse/firebase/useFirestore';
import { collection } from 'firebase/firestore';
// ---cut---
const todos = useFirestore(collection(db, 'todos'), undefined, { autoDispose: false });

or use createGlobalState from the core package

// @filename: store.ts
// ---cut---
// store.ts
import { createGlobalState } from '@vueuse/core';
import { useFirestore } from '@vueuse/firebase/useFirestore';

export const useTodos = createGlobalState(() => useFirestore(collection(db, 'todos')));
<!-- app.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
// @include: store
// ---cut---
import { useTodos } from './store';

const todos = useTodos();
</script>
