Local Data to Firestore Migration Workflow

The Mahar Unity App works in two modes: Local (Offline) and Firestore Connected. This workflow explains how to export local mock data to the cloud.

1. Check Connection Status

• Look at the bottom of the left Sidebar.
• If it says ● Local Mode (in orange), the application is currently running strictly within the browser memory using mock data. Any page refresh would lose new input.

2. Initiate Migration

• Click the [Migrate to Firestore] button located at the bottom of the sidebar.
• The app will batch process the mock data (e.g., 145 crew members).
• This will automatically construct the required crew collection documents in your Firebase instance.

3. Verify Migration

• A confirmation toast will appear stating "145 crew migrated to Firestore!".
• The connection status dot in the sidebar will turn green and say ● Firestore Connected.
• From this point forward, directly saving Crew records or Bills will write to the active crew, bills, payments, slips, and crewPayments collections in Firestore.
