How to add document reference to firestore document references (array) using Rowy?

[ortsuev]

I have a list of references to documents that I store in a corresponding array in firestore. I need to use the rowy extensions to create a new document when I get a webhook, and then put a reference to it in that document array. As we know, rowy does not yet support reference arrays as a type. Can I solve my problem by using functions? I'd be happy to get any help

As an alternative, you can use JSON to store array data. Does this help your use case?

Hi, please do not store the Firebase Document object directly. One possible way is to convert the object to path strings.
E.g. doc.ref.path

Hi @ortsuev you can use the newly introduced Array field for this now.
