Hope this isn't too obvious but I am really stumped at this point. I am having trouble adding a document to a subcollection that does not exist in Firebase Firestore.
The code works perfectly when adding to a subcollection that already exists.
db.collection("collectionId").doc(docId).collection("subcollectionId").doc(subdocId).collection("items").add({
userName,
isActive: true
}).then(function() {
console.log("Document successfully written!");
}).catch(function(error) {
console.error("Error writing document: ", error);
});
To be clear here, the sub-sub-collection "items" exists in some of my sub-collections and has not yet been created in others. When I attempt to add a document to "items" using the above code in a subcollection that already has other "items", it works with the following result:
Document successfully written!
When I attempt to add a document to "items" in a subcollection where "items" does not exist, it does not add the item and there is nothing written to the console.
Thanks for the help in advance!
