I am trying out the new Firestore by Firebase. When I run the code sample from https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/add-data?authuser=0, I am getting an error.
// Add a new document with a generated id.
db.collection("cities").add({
name: "Tokyo",
country: "Japan"
})
.then(function(docRef) {
console.log("Document written with ID: ", docRef.id);
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.error("Error adding document: ", error);
});
Exception caught: (FirebaseError) : Function CollectionReference.add() requires its first argument to be of type object, but it was: a custom Object object
Edit:
Sorry I didnt mention I am using GWT and JSNI, it's working fine without gwt
This is likely a cross-window issue: GWT code runs in an iframe; if Firebase is looking for a "bare object", it likely compares the object's constructor, which won't be the expected one if the object crosses the iframe boundary.
Maybe try using a new $wnd.Object()
instead of {}
or new Object()
.
Quick workaround
var city: any;
city = Object.assign({}, {
name: "Tokyo",
country: "Japan"
});
db.collection("cities").add(city)
I tried this code and it works with me if you have data comes as an Object from angular Form :
this.afs.collection("/products").add(Object.assign(product));
Add a document
Then you can try this:
db.collection("cities").add({
'name': "Tokyo",
'country': "Japan"
})
Seems like GWT is producing some custom object like the error says, so as workaround I am using a non JSNI convert method function to create objects like this
function convertObject(data) {
var obj = {}
Object.keys(data).forEach(function(key,index) {
console.log(key);
obj[key] = data[key];
});
return obj;
}
Still just a workaround and would love to know if there is a better solution..
