API or CLI for creating a firestore database?

[Cesar Salazar]

Hi. I'm working on a new multitenant application and would like to use Firestore. 

I'm planning to create a firebase project per tenant, following the recommendations from https://firebase.google.com/docs/projects/learn-more#multi-tenancy

I found information on how to configure rules and indexes for an existing firestore database, but I haven't found information on how to create a firestore database programmatically.

Is it possible? If not, what's the recommended approach?

Hi Cesar,

Right now there is no way to create a Firestore database through an API or CLI command, you have to create them manually.  Programmatic configuration is a feature request we've heard before and something we plan to implement eventually, thanks for your vote!

Hey Sam,

Where is the issue tracker to upvote this feature ? 

I'm an "infrastructure as code" fan and having this possibility is a must-have for me and my teammates.

Surprisingly, it's available for real time database...

Cheers.

Xavier.

Thanks for following up!  There is now a gcloud command (in alpha) to do this:

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/alpha/firestore/databases/

So you can do:
gcloud alpha firestore databases create

Hi Sam,

Would it support creating multiple firestores per firebase/GCP project?

No, there is a hard limit of one Firestore database per project.
