Issue with "storeAs" for a single document in subcollection

What is the current behavior? I want to store a subcollection “properties” of a user in the top level. It works as expected with the following code:

{
  collection: 'users',
  doc: uid,
  subcollections: [{ collection: 'properties' }],
  storeAs: 'properties',
}

But when I only need to fetch a single document from the subcollection “properties” and store it to the top level “properties”, the storeAs doesn’t work as expected with the code below:

{
  collection: 'users',
  doc: uid,
  subcollections: [{ collection: 'properties', doc: propertyId }],
  storeAs: `properties/${propertyId}`,
}

The single document is saved like this:

What is the expected behavior?

I guess storeAs: `properties/${propertyId}` is wrong but what is the correct way to get around this? Thanks.

You may want to try out the v1.0.0 pre-releases available through the alpha tag since it stores subcollections along side top level collections by default and there are helpers for selecting from state based on your query without needing storeAs.

That said - I’m going to look into if there is a way to make that work with the current version, if not, there should be one added

Change storeAs to path and this does what you want. storeAs: 'properties/${propertyId}' → path: 'properties/${propertyId}' ⚠️Warning path doesn’t seem to appear in the docs so it could disappear or break in future.
