FirestoreKV

Small CLI tool to store/retrieve key/value pairs in GCP Firestore(in Datastore mode).

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="credentials.json"
export GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID="my_project123"

There are 3 commands implemented: get, put, and clean.

Storing values

The syntax is following:

./firestorekv put <KIND> <KEY> <VALUE>

For example:

./firestorekv put numbers the_number 42

Retrieving values

The syntax is following:

./firestorekv get <KIND> <KEY>

For example:

./firestorekv get numbers the_number

Cleanup old key/value pairs

All key/value pairs get timestamp field during creation/update. This allows to cleanup old entities.

The syntax is following:

./firestorekv clean <TIMESTAMP>

week_ago=$(date --date="7 days ago" +%s)
./firestorekv clean passwords $week_ago
