Can I change the name of a document in Firestore?

Question

I\'m currently working on an app where I have to retrieve data from Google\'s Firestore.

My data structure looks like this:

users
 - name@xxx.com
            


        

Answer 1

I think the best way to do this is to get the data from 'name@xxx.com' and upload it to a new document called 'name' and then delete the old one.

Just as an example:

const firestore = firebase.firestore();
// get the data from 'name@xxx.com'
firestore.collection("users").doc("name@xxx.com").get().then(function (doc) {
    if (doc && doc.exists) {
        var data = doc.data();
        // saves the data to 'name'
        firestore.collection("users").doc("name").set(data).then({
            // deletes the old document
            firestore.collection("users").doc("name@xxx.com").delete();
        });
    }
});
