Insert promise not resolving in offline mode. Is this expected?

[danmalone89]

async saveDocument() {
 const id = await this.$store.dispatch('myModule/insert', doc)
 // document is added to Vuex store

 doSomethingWith(id) // unreachable while offline, despite document being successfully added to Vuex store.

}

Is this the expected behavior when offline? As soon as I go back online, the promise is resolved immediately. Firebase is constantly trying to write to server unsuccessfully while offline, throwing an error every second. I have offline persistence enabled.

@danmalone89 yes this is the expected behaviour. The library immediately adds the document to the local state, so you don't really need to await that if that's good enough.

The await can be used to double check if the record is actually successfully written on the server side, which is therefore delayed when the client is offline.

In your case, you can either, retrieve the id from a hook like the insertHook, or you can create a random id yourself and pass it as prop to the doc you insert:

• const randomId = firebase.firestore().collection('_').doc().id

Let me know if you're stuck!
