Google Firestore - structuring deeply nested ordered data

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to structure my data for my exercise app with Cloud Firestore. The data model is as follows:

• The app has many sets of exercises

Answer 1

Because all of your data is ordered, you could create your own integer-based exercise ID and query off of it. This ID would be built by a leading "1" then the set #, exercise #, part # and instruction #. Example:

exerciseID: 102030101
    "text": "First, do x."
    "imageURL": "Set2Exercise3Part1Instruction1.jpg"
exerciseID: 102030102
    "text": "Second, do y."
    "imageURL": "Set2Exercise3Part1Instruction2.jpg"
exerciseID: 102030103
    "text": "Third, do z."
    "imageURL": "Set2Exercise3Part1Instruction3.jpg"

Then to query all the instructions, pics, etc. for set #2, exercise #3, part #1 you would include the following line:

exerciseAppInfo.where("exerciseID", ">=", "102030101").where("exerciseID", "<=", "102030103")
