Answer 1

DocumentReference docRef = await Firestore.instance.collection("products").add({

 'description': product.description,
 'imageUrl': product.imageUrl,
 'price': product.price,
});
final newProduct = Product(
 title: product.title,
 description: product.description,
 price: product.price,
 imageUrl: product.imageUrl,
 id:docRef.documentID,
);

_items.add(newProduct);

Answer 2

Use document() with no arguments to first generate a reference to a document with a random ID, then use setData() to create it and add the documentID as part of the new document:

DocumentReference ref = Firestore.instance.collection("posts1").document();
ref.setData({
    "post_id": ref.documentID,
    // ... add more fields here
})
