  • Lower case

    Firestore is case sensitive if you save name as Azeem you can’t filter it like azeem So it is best practice to save data in lower case it help you to search easily. FirO allow to save data in lower case and search data without case sensitive.

Example Usage 

class User(Model):
    name = TextField(to_lowercase=True)
    age = NumberField()


User.collection.create(name='Azeem', age=26)


# Filter result All three are works and give same result
User.collection.filter('name', '==', 'azeem').get()
User.collection.filter('name', '==', 'Azeem').get()
User.collection.filter('name', '==', 'AzEEm').get()

  • Format

    FireO allow to format text in different type, possible format type are title, upper, lower, capitalize format only work when you get data from Firestore. These are not work on saving data. format=upper will not save the data in uppercase instead it will get data from Firestore and convert it in to uppercase. Simply format only work with get and fetch method or after save method.

Example Usage 

class User(Model):
    name = TextField(format='upper')

u = User()
u.name = "it's my name"
u.save()

print(u.name) # IT'S MY NAME

Example with get() 

class User(Model)
    name = TextField(format='title')

u = User.collection.get(user_key)
print(u.name) # It's My Name
