# Usage

Before start using this plugin you have to create and enable Cloud Firestore project in Firebase Console. When you create a Firestore project, it also enables its API, which you can get from Cloud API Manager.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/grapesjs"></script>
<script src="path/to/grapesjs-firestore.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/4.13.0/firebase-firestore.js"></script>

<div id="gjs"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var editor = grapesjs.init({
      container : '#gjs',
      ...
      storageManager: { type: 'firestore' },
      plugins: ['grapesjs-firestore'],
      pluginsOpts: {
        'grapesjs-firestore': {
          docId: 'someID',
          apiKey: '<API_KEY>',
          authDomain: '<PROJECT_ID>.firebaseapp.com',
          projectId: '<PROJECT_ID>',
        }
      }
  });
</script>

By default, Firebase allows everyone to read/write data inside your DB by knowing the API credentials, which is ok for the first setup and development but, obviously, not for production. To get more about the Firestore security checkout this guide.
