How to import to Firestore With An Auto ID #13

Closed artistic closed 5 years ago

artistic commented 5 years ago

Hie Im still a newbie to Firestore. I have the import working when i enter a manual ID like : { "menu" : {

    "1" : {
        "menu_item" : "Menu 1",
    },
    "2" : {
        "menu_item" : "Menu 2",
    }

} }

but i would like to let Firestore auto generate the ID Please help. Thank you in advance

Hi @artistic, you can try this guide and run a loop to create a document without an ID.
