Run Firestore batch in Cloud Functions for Firebase

Question

In Cloud Functions for Firebase, I am trying to run admin.firestore.batch(), but I am receiving error "admin.firestore.batch is not a function", see (totally simplified) example.

exports.getTest = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => { cors(request, response, () => { var batch = admin.firestore.batch(); // <--- ERROR HERE var docRef = admin.firestore().doc('tariffs/1') batch.set(docRef, 'name', 'free'); return batch.commit(); }).then(() => { response.status(200).send({result: 'success'}); }); });

My package.json is

{ "name": "functions", "description": "Cloud Functions for Firebase", "dependencies": { "cors": "^2.8.1", "firebase-admin": "^5.4.2", "firebase-functions": "^0.7.1" }, "private": true }

Is it possible to use firebase.firestore.batch() with Cloud Functions?

Thank you

You are missing the () after admin.firestore.

Change this:

var batch = admin.firestore.batch(); // <--- ERROR HERE

to this:

var batch = admin.firestore().batch();
