Explanation in Terraform Registry

Cloud Firestore indexes enable simple and complex queries against documents in a database. This resource manages composite indexes and not single field indexes. To get more information about Index, see:

  • API documentation
  • How-to Guides
    • Official Documentation

      Warning: This resource creates a Firestore Index on a project that already has Firestore enabled. If you haven't already enabled it, you can create a google_app_engine_application resource with database_type set to "CLOUD_FIRESTORE" to do so. Your Firestore location will be the same as the App Engine location specified.
