    app = firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)
    # db = firestore.client(app = app)
    db = firestore.AsyncClient(credentials=app.credential.get_credential(), project=app.project_id)
    user_ref = db.collection('user')

    ref = user_ref.document()
    await ref.set({'name': 'test-user'})

    docs = await user_ref.get()
    for doc in docs:
        print(doc.id, doc.get('name'))


    docs = user_ref.stream()
    async for doc in docs:
