I know how to count how many Documents are in a collection in Firebase but how does it work the other way around. I have several collections in a document and I need to find out how many. (In my example it would be 2)
My Setup:
Collection Document Collections Documents [USERID] - [TESTS] - [1] - [ANSWERS] [RESULTS] [2] - [ANSWERS] [RESULTS]
I tried the following but it does not work:
let refTest_1 = db.collection(USERID).doc('TESTS') let testData_1 refTest_1.get().then(doc => { //testData_1 = doc.data() testData_1 = doc.size }).then(function() { //console.log(Object.keys(testData_1).length) console.log(testData_1) }).catch(error => { console.log("Error: " + error.message) })
Does anybody know how this works?
Thanks!

The official Firebase Web Client has no implemented method to get all collections of an object. You can take a look at the documentation here. In Node.js you could just use the .listCollections()
method as described in the same documentation. Afterwards, you would have to get all the documents in the collections and count them manually in js.
