`useFirestore` should allow to select a non `(default)` database

[aaaaahaaaaa]

What problem is this solving

As far as I can tell, there's no way to select a different Firestore database aside from the (default) one. Firestore multi database support is GA since February.

The getFirestore SDK allows to select the database based on the ID: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firestore_.md#getfirestore_48de6cb

Proposed solution

The composable should take the Database ID as a param.

Note: the composable currently already takes a name as param, for the name of the Firebase App, which is confusing IMO.

@posva if you ever start working on it, I just wanted to let you know so you can add this functionality to useDatabase() as well. Thanks in advance!

Any update or ETA on this?

This is a blocker for our project, we are dropping VueFire because lack of support. Just letting you know its quite important.

@posva can you help with that?

This has been open well over a year and the PR has been open since Feb and its been ignored.
Is this project abandoned now?? Where is @posva ?

Looks like a very small change that solves this problem, quick win!

Hello! It’s not abandoned. Sorry it feels like this. I tried getting a contract with Google but no success. My time is currently spent in router and pinia
Happy to take a look and release a new version if paid: https://cal.com/posva/consultancy if this is a priority for you

@posva I need to ask, is this not the official firebase library, if so, why you need external funding?
Website says:
VueFire
Official Firebase bindings for Vue.js

I will pay for that, that's ok for me. How long you need to release the new version, when i book a meeting tomorrow?

[posva]

It’s the official collaboration between the Vue core team and Firebase but I’m not a Google employee
For this, one hour is enough

[posva]

I will add the pkg new integration too so prs are auto released
