# Cloud Firestore
ToolJet can connect to Cloud Firestore databases to read and write data.

## Connection 
ToolJet connects to your Cloud Firestore using JSON key of your GCP service account. Get your service account key as JSON from GCP console. For generating a new key, check out [Firestore's official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys#iam-service-account-keys-create-console).

Once you have the key, open it in a text editor and copy the contents. Paste the contents in the **Private key** field of the Firestore data source modal.

Click on **Test connection** button to verify if the key is valid. Click on **Save** button to save the data source.

## Querying Firestore 

Click on `+` button of the query manager at the bottom panel of the editor and select the database added in the previous step as the data source.

#### Required parameters:

- **Path**: Enter the path of the document in a collection. Path format: `collection name/document id`. ex: `books/33243dwe2332`
- **Body**: Enter the Field names and their values in json form. example body:
```json

## Transforming firestore query result for Table widget

The Firestore query result is in the form of object so we’ll need to transform it into array.

```js
return data = Array(data)
```
