I want to get the document id of societies collection in cities collection but my code returns a different id in societyId field in the cities collection.



myId: string = "";
private docRef: firebase.firestore.DocumentReference;
this.docRef = firebase.firestore().collection("societies").doc();
this.myId = this.docRef.id;
this.cityList = firebase.firestore().collection("cities").add(
cityName: this.city,
societyId: this.myId
).then((doc) =>
console.log(doc);
).catch((err) =>
console.log(err);
);

  • The problem is that the document id eh2w ... j041 is different than the societyId property which holds IEMn ... ngVv? You need to be the same?

You are getting another societyId, which is different than the id that is generated by simply calling doc() function because you are adding an object to the database using CollectionReference's add() function:




Adds a new document to this collection with the specified data, assigning it a document ID automatically.




Instead of using DocumentReference's set() function:




Writes to the document referred to by this DocumentReference. If the document does not exist yet, it will be created. If you pass options, the provided data can be merged into the existing document.




According to your comment, if you want to have the same id, please change the following line of code:



this.cityList = firebase.firestore().collection("cities").add(/* ... */);


to



this.cityList = firebase.firestore().collection("cities").doc(this.myId).set(/* ... */);
