Subcollections are created as objects about firestore-import-export

Hi @germanandrade, there's a subcollection argument that you can use to add the subcollection, but your method still works :)

I just found a way to insert the users as subcollection, instead of use .firebaseio.com I used

.firebaseio.com/games/21hRLgKFxGDep7s7bDyY and it worked perfectly!

Hi @dalenguyen thanks for this library. Can you pls let me know what the argument for adding the subcollection is? thanks

Hi @samyoungnyc, please use this package for the updated features: https://github.com/dalenguyen/firestore-backup-restore

OK - I am using it- when importing a particular collection/subcollection - do I have to name the collection in the restore method call? Is that what the refs option is for?

Example:

firestoreService.restore('userCollection.json', {
  refs: ['refKey', 'arrayRef'],
});

@samyoungnyc, for subcollection, you have to structure your JSON file by following the example in order to import the subcollection. https://github.com/dalenguyen/firestore-backup-restore/blob/master/test/import-array-to-firestore.json

It should be inside a subCollection object.
