Is there a command to create a Cloud Firestore in Native mode database

Question

I'm setting up a Google Cloud project, and want to create a Cloud Firestore in Native mode in a shell script.

There are commands to create cloud resources via gcloud for other products. For exmaple, we can create a kubernetes cluster by gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER_NAME] [--zone [COMPUTE_ZONE]] (https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/creating-a-cluster#zonal)

I would like know the command to create the Cloud Firestore in Native mode. I haven't had any luck finding it in the Firestore documentation (https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/quickstart-servers). The documentation only mentions how to do it in the console.

Answer 1

It is currently not possible to select the Firestore mode from an environment outside the Cloud Console (e.g. via Cloud SDK, API, etc.). However, there is already a request for this feature to be implemented.
