This tiny package calculates the approximate size (in bytes) of a Firestore document.

## Installation

```js
npm i firestore-size
```

### Usage

```js
import sizeof from 'firestore-size'

const snapshot = db
      .collection("data")
      .doc(id)
      .get();
const data = snapshot.data(); 

const bytes = sizeof(data);
console.log( bytes > 1000 ? "I'm in awe of the size of this lad!": "Ew..")
console.log( typeof bytes === 'number'); //true
```
## How it works

- Array -	The sum of the sizes of its values
- Boolean -	1 byte
- Bytes -	Byte length
- Date and time -	8 bytes
- Floating-point number -	8 bytes
- Geographical point - 16 bytes
- Integer -	8 bytes
- Map	- The size of the map, calculated the same way as document size
- Null -	1 byte
- Reference	- The document name size
- Text string -	Number of UTF-8 encoded bytes + 1

More on how the size is calculated in firestore docs - [documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/storage-size#document-name-size)

## Important notice

Does not take into account the name of a document.

For a document in the subcollection ```users/jeff/tasks``` with a string document ID of ```my_task_id```, the document name size is 6 + 5 + 6 + 11 + 16 = 44 bytes. [More about it in the docs.](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/storage-size#document-name-size)

Does not take into account indexing. Indexes can be disabled - [docs](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/index-overview?authuser=0#single-field_index_exemptions) - to free up more space.
