Feature proposal
Firebase Component: Firestore
Hello,
The Firestore C++ SDK currently supports only the count()
method in the firebase::firestore::AggregateQuerySnapshot
class but lacks a sum()
method (and avg()
), which is essential for aggregating numeric fields across documents.
Current State
The public functions of AggregateQuerySnapshot
are:
count()
is_valid()
- Assignment operators (
operator=
) query()
Reference:
Flutter SDK Implications
This enhancement would also benefit the Flutter SDK, which relies on the Firestore C++ SDK for Windows platform support. For example, in the FlutterFire plugin, unsupported aggregation types like sum
currently result in:
...
case AggregateType::sum:
std::cout << "Sum is not supported on C++" << std::endl;
break;
...
Adding sum()
to the C++ SDK would also benefit Flutter developers using Firestore on Windows.
Benefits
Implementing a sum()
method would:
- Provide access to Firestore's aggregation capabilities in the C++ SDK.
- Support more use cases for C++ and Flutter developers.
Looking forward to hearing thoughts and feedback!
Thanks,
