Cloud Firestore helps us store data in the cloud. It supports offline mode so our app will work fine (write, read, listen to, and query data) whether device has internet connection or not, it automatically fetches changes from our database to Firebase Server. We can structure data in our ways to improve querying and fetching capabilities. This tutorial shows you a Vue.js app that can do Firebase Firestore CRUD Operations.

Vue.js Firestore example Overview
Goal
Our Vue App can help us write new Notes, then it displays a list of Notes and each Note page (containing title and content) can be modified easily. This App also supports offline mode - we can create/update/delete Note without internet connection.
And, of course, this App interacts with Firebase Firestore as backend infrastructure:
Demo
Project Structure
We have 3 components:
-
App.vueholds all of the other components. -

Note.vuedisplay a single Note in the List that allows us to create new Note or edit current Note.Technologies
