Explain the Problem in Detail
Is it possible to add data in Google Sheets as an array field-type in Firestore?
In the Firestore docs, it has an example of how to write an array data type: https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/manage-data/add-data
const docData = { arrayExample: [5, true, "hello"], };
If I have a cell with data
[5, true, "hello"]
is it possible for me to store that as an array in Firestore?
I have seen that a similar request around appending to a Firestore array field was marked as invalid due to REST API limitations: #78
Wondering if this may be impossible for a similar reason?
Thanks!
Sorry for checking this out late, @tom-alder.
This sounds like an implementation detail when utilizing this library. You wouldn't be able to directly take the contents of a cell and push it to Firebase, or it'll just store it as a string. You'll want to convert those values into an array yourself before pushing it to Firebase.
