This custom action allows you to retrieve data from a Firestore collection and download it as a CSV file.

Code Compilation

Before using this custom action, you need to compile the code. Follow these steps:

1. Find the "Firestore CSV Exporter" action in the FlutterFlow Marketplace.

Preparation

As csvHeaderTitles and firestoreFieldNames vary depending on the collection, it is recommended to define them as constants within your app. For example, you can create a constants.dart file and define them as follows:

Using these constants will make the action calls more concise.
