Firestore Record Acknowledgments

This extension makes it easy to add notices to your application that your users can acknowledge. The extension helps with:

• Storing/retrieving notices with versioning built in
• Marking notices with an acknowledgment type (including notice ID/version/timestamp recorded)
• Retrieving a historical log of which users have acknowledged which notices
• Collecting custom acknowledgment metadata (such as additional user preferences) for a notice
• Allowing notices to be only acknowledged by a select group of users

You can view the source code.

Additional setup

Before installing this extension, make sure that you’ve set up a Cloud Firestore database in your Firebase project.

Also, make sure that you’ve set up Firebase Authentication to manage your users. All acknowledgment records in Firestore created by this extension are associated with a Firebase Auth UID.

Getting Started

See the Getting Started page for detailed documentation on creating notices, and how to retrieve them and track acknowledgments from your app. An API reference is available providing detailed information on the available interfaces and configuration this extension offers.
