Firestore nested collections

hello eddy,

first of all thx for this amazing plugin!

I am trying to use the new firestore feature. The firebase docs are saying that yon can nest a collection under a document ref. Using your plugin the nesting doesn´t work. The collection is always being created under the root of the database.

Here my example code

let userDoc = firestore.collection('users').doc(user.uid);
userDoc.set({email: user.email});
userDoc.collection('worktimes').doc(data.key).set({
    date: data.value.date,
    reverseOrderDate: data.value.reverseOrderDate,
    workTimeEnd: data.value.workTimeEnd,
    workTimeStart: data.value.workTimeStart,
    workingMinutesBrutto: data.value.workingMinutesBrutto,
    workingMinutesNetto: data.value.workingMinutesNetto,
    workingMinutesOverTime: data.value.workingMinutesOverTime,
    workingMinutesPause: data.value.workingMinutesPause
});

I´m expecting the worktimes data under the user document but in the firebase console there is a collection “worktimes” at the root level.

The data comes from an api call. Any ideas? Thx Armin

I think I found the problem, in firebase.android.ts you are creating a collection from the root db instance everytime. If I don´t chain the collection.doc.collection calls instead get the collection with a deeplink (users/${user.uid}/worktimes) it works.

We need to find a way to determan if the collection is a chained one or the root one. If chained generate the path relative to the document otherwise generate the path from the root db.
