Testing with the Firestore DB - PlateSwipe/PlateSwipe GitHub Wiki
For testing purposes we will need to change the name of the collection otherwise we will need to regenerate the whole production database.
This can be made through a few steps:
1) Create your collection of Firebase
-
Go to the
Firestore
of the PlateSwipe Project -
Create a new collection by clicking on the
start collection
-
Write a name starting by
test
to let others know that it's a test database and then give it some name:test$yourname$
-
Click on next to confirm changes and now your database is created.
2) Change the name of the constant in the Project
In the resources/C
file there is a value where you have to paste the name of your collection in order to use your personal test database :
const val FIRESTORE_COLLECTION_NAME = "recipes"
Here replace the "recipes"
by the name of your collection $\rightarrow$ "test$name$"
