Definition

A group of documents in Firestore — like a table in a traditional database.

مجموعة من المستندات في Firestore — مثل الجدول في قاعدة البيانات التقليدية.

Why It Matters

Understanding how Firestore organizes data into collections and documents is the foundation for all database operations in 404Fault.

فهم كيفية تنظيم Firestore للبيانات في مجموعات ومستندات هو الأساس لجميع عمليات قاعدة البيانات في 404Fault.

Full Definition

In Firestore, a collection is a container for documents. It's similar to a SQL table, but schemaless — each document can have different fields. Examples from 404Fault: the 'glossary' collection stores all glossary terms, 'projects' stores all projects, 'users' stores user profiles. Collections are queried with db.collection('glossary').
في Firestore، المجموعة هي حاوية للمستندات. إنها مشابهة لجدول SQL، لكن بدون مخطط ثابت — يمكن لكل مستند امتلاك حقول مختلفة. أمثلة من 404Fault: مجموعة 'glossary' تخزّن جميع مصطلحات الغلوساري، 'projects' تخزّن جميع المشاريع، 'users' تخزّن ملفات تعريف المستخدمين. تُستعلَم المجموعات بـ db.collection('glossary').

Example Usage

“db.collection('glossary').where('status', '==', 'published').get() fetches all published glossary terms from the Firestore collection.”

“db.collection('glossary').where('status', '==', 'published').get() يجلب جميع مصطلحات الغلوساري المنشورة من مجموعة Firestore.”
