I'm new to firebase in general and am trying to write parts of an array into a document and its remaining data in a document in a subcollection. Here is what I've done:
let db = admin.firestore();
db.collection("User")
.doc(fields.user)
.collection("Address")
.doc(fields.address)
.set({
User: fields.user,
Address: fields.address,
})
.then(
db.collection("User")
.doc(fields.user)
.collection("Address")
.doc(fields.address)
.collection("Orders")
.doc(fields.ID)
.set({
ID: fields.ID,
});
My biggest question is if there is a better way to do this? Here its a small sample but for cases it can get very long. Thanks in advance for any help.

I often prefer constructing longer paths using string interpolation, which would lead to:
db.doc(`User/${fields.user}/Address/${fields.address}`)
.set({
User: fields.user,
Address: fields.address,
})
.then(
db.doc(`User/${fields.user}/Address/${fields.address}/Orders/${fields.ID}`)
.set({
ID: fields.ID,
});
Aside from that, you probably want to do this in a batched write so that either both of the writes succeed, or neither of them does.
CodePudding user response:
if you have all the data in the first time. you can create your object with subcollections and then set it in one request
var obj = {
User: fields.user,
Address: fields.address,
Orders: {
ID: fields.ID,
}
}
db.collection("User").doc(fields.user).set(obj)
.then(() => {
console.log("Document successfully written!");
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error("Error writing document: ", error);
});
