[Question] Dynamic bindings

Hi there!

Quick question as we are tossing up whether to upgrade to Firestore. Can you do dynamic bindings like you can in Vuefire? e.g. if you need to get the authenticated users UID and then use this to build your binding e.g. user/{uid}, noting that an async call is made on the beforeCreate so this information is not available at the time the Vue component is built. Is this possible in this library?

Thanks a lot!

@natezerk , I would like to inform you that vue-firestore is supporting the both of (collection/docs) in this new release v0.2.0, now you can bind your docs/collection in two ways, manually or via firestore option.

• Binding Manually with $binding function that return a promise.

...
mounted() {
  // Binding Collections
  this.$binding("users", firebase.firestore.collection("users"))
  .then((users) => {
    console.log(users) // => __ob__: Observer
  })
  
  // Binding Docs
  this.$binding("Ford", firebase.firestore().collection("cars").doc("ford"))
  .then((ford) => {
    console.log(ford) // => __ob__: Observer
  }).catch(err => {
    console.error(err)
  })
}
...

• Binding via firestore option.

var vm = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  firestore() {
    return {
        // Collection
        persons: firestore.collection('persons'),
        // Doc
        ford: firestore.collection('cars').doc('ford')
    }
  }
})

Thanks!!
