# google\_firestore\_index

Cloud Firestore indexes enable simple and complex queries against documents in a database.
 This resource manages composite indexes and not single
field indexes.


To get more information about Index, see:

* [API documentation](https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.databases.collectionGroups.indexes)
* How-to Guides
    * [Official Documentation](https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/query-data/indexing)

## Example Usage - Firestore Index Basic


```hcl
resource "google_firestore_index" "my-index" {
  project    = "my-project-name"

  collection = "chatrooms"

  fields {
    field_path = "name"
    order      = "ASCENDING"
  }

  fields {
    field_path = "description"
    order      = "DESCENDING"
  }

  fields {
    field_path = "__name__"
    order      = "DESCENDING"
  }
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:


* `collection` -
  (Required)
  The collection being indexed.

* `fields` -
  (Required)
  The fields supported by this index. The last field entry is always for
  the field path `__name__`. If, on creation, `__name__` was not
  specified as the last field, it will be added automatically with the
  same direction as that of the last field defined. If the final field
  in a composite index is not directional, the `__name__` will be
  ordered `"ASCENDING"` (unless explicitly specified otherwise).  Structure is documented below.


The `fields` block supports:

* `field_path` -
  (Optional)
  Name of the field.

* `order` -
  (Optional)
  Indicates that this field supports ordering by the specified order or comparing using =, <, <=, >, >=.
  Only one of `order` and `arrayConfig` can be specified.

* `array_config` -
  (Optional)
  Indicates that this field supports operations on arrayValues. Only one of `order` and `arrayConfig` can
  be specified.

- - -


* `database` -
  (Optional)
  The Firestore database id. Defaults to `"(default)"`.

* `query_scope` -
  (Optional)
  The scope at which a query is run. Defaults to `"COLLECTION"`.
* `project` - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs.
    If it is not provided, the provider project is used.


## Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:


* `name` -
  A server defined name for this index. Format:
  `projects/{{project}}/databases/{{database}}/collectionGroups/{{collection}}/indexes/{{server_generated_id}}`


## Timeouts

This resource provides the following
[Timeouts](/docs/configuration/resources.html#timeouts) configuration options:

- `create` - Default is 10 minutes.
- `delete` - Default is 10 minutes.

## Import

Index can be imported using any of these accepted formats:

```
$ terraform import google_firestore_index.default {{name}}
```

-> If you're importing a resource with beta features, make sure to include `-provider=google-beta`
as an argument so that Terraform uses the correct provider to import your resource.
