FieldValue

abstract class FieldValue


Sentinel values that can be used when writing document fields with set() or update().

Summary

Public functions

java-static FieldValue
arrayRemove(elements: Array<Any!>!)

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to remove the given elements from any array value that already exists on the server.

java-static FieldValue
arrayUnion(elements: Array<Any!>!)

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to union the given elements with any array value that already exists on the server.

java-static FieldValue

Returns a sentinel for use with update() to mark a field for deletion.

java-static FieldValue

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to increment the field's current value by the given value.

java-static FieldValue

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to increment the field's current value by the given value.

java-static FieldValue

Returns a sentinel for use with set() or update() to include a server-generated timestamp in the written data.

java-static VectorValue

Creates a new VectorValue constructed with a copy of the given array of doubles.

Public functions

arrayRemove

java-static fun arrayRemove(elements: Array<Any!>!): FieldValue

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to remove the given elements from any array value that already exists on the server. All instances of each element specified will be removed from the array. If the field being modified is not already an array it will be overwritten with an empty array.

Parameters
elements: Array<Any!>!

The elements to remove from the array.

Returns
FieldValue

The FieldValue sentinel for use in a call to set() or update().

arrayUnion

java-static fun arrayUnion(elements: Array<Any!>!): FieldValue

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to union the given elements with any array value that already exists on the server. Each specified element that doesn't already exist in the array will be added to the end. If the field being modified is not already an array it will be overwritten with an array containing exactly the specified elements.

Parameters
elements: Array<Any!>!

The elements to union into the array.

Returns
FieldValue

The FieldValue sentinel for use in a call to set() or update().

delete

java-static fun delete(): FieldValue

Returns a sentinel for use with update() to mark a field for deletion.

increment

java-static fun increment(l: Long): FieldValue

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to increment the field's current value by the given value.

If the current field value is an integer, possible integer overflows are resolved to Long.MAX_VALUE or Long.MIN_VALUE. If the current field value is a double, both values will be interpreted as doubles and the arithmetic will follow IEEE 754 semantics.

If the current field is not an integer or double, or if the field does not yet exist, the transformation will set the field to the given value.

Returns
FieldValue

The FieldValue sentinel for use in a call to set() or update().

increment

java-static fun increment(l: Double): FieldValue

Returns a special value that can be used with set() or update() that tells the server to increment the field's current value by the given value.

If the current value is an integer or a double, both the current and the given value will be interpreted as doubles and all arithmetic will follow IEEE 754 semantics. Otherwise, the transformation will set the field to the given value.

Returns
FieldValue

The FieldValue sentinel for use in a call to set() or update().

serverTimestamp

java-static fun serverTimestamp(): FieldValue

Returns a sentinel for use with set() or update() to include a server-generated timestamp in the written data.

vector

java-static fun vector(values: DoubleArray): VectorValue

Creates a new VectorValue constructed with a copy of the given array of doubles.

Parameters
values: DoubleArray

Array of doubles to be copied to create a VectorValue.

Returns
VectorValue

A new VectorValue constructed with a copy of the given array of doubles.
