Get Document Auto-ID for Firestore

[JediThumper]

Hi,

I'm sure, I've done this before, but I can't remember.

How do I get an auto-id for a new document?

Thanks

Found it :)
Use Database.CreateDocument(Synchronous)
then retrieve the DocumentName.

In addition to the mentioned server side approach the unit FB4D.Helpers offers a further client side approach by using TFirebaseHelpers.CreateAutoID(IDKind: TIDKind): string
For the Firestore Database there are two ID kinds for different purposes:

• FSID: Generates a random ID
• PushID: Generates a random ID beginning with the current timestamp allows fast sorting from oldest the newest document by the ID

Thanks for the additional information Christoph.
So many little gems I'm still learning.
