Firestore Creating a Document

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m trying to store data in Firestore. I’ve gotten the script to create a document, but for some reason it can’t add fields to it.

I have tested using Postman to see the format needed for the POST.

It looks like this:
{ "name": "", "fields": { "as": { "stringValue": "asf" }, "aaa": { "stringValue": "aa" } }, "createTime": "2020-05-02T15:09:43.602950Z", "updateTime": "2020-05-02T15:09:43.602950Z" }
I have the following code:

local data = {
	fields = {
		['hi'] = {
			['stringValue'] = "yes"
		},
	}
}
local request = HttpService:PostAsync(database.."?documentId=test12", "", Enum.HttpContentType.ApplicationUrlEncoded, false, data)

But I get the following error: "Header "fields" must have its value be a string!"
If anyone can help, that would greatly be appreciated

This can help you: [Open Source] FirebaseService

Its make Firebase like DataStore and easy to operate.

Hi, I’ve seen that, but I’m trying to use Firestore, not the realtime database

#4

Then your error message is the Headers

Example you can use: “X-HTTP-Method-Override”
But you also need to tell that Json

so dont froget this header: “content-type:application/json”

Hi, I’ve added in the content-type header, but I still get the same error

Pretty sure it means what it says, no? The current value of fields is a table and it’s expecting a string. Furthermore, if you’re using the ApplicationUrlEncoded HttpContentType, then you need to UrlEncode both the keys and values.

More information can be found by looking at PostAsync’s documentation page:

I don’t quite know much about roblox requests, how would I make the table be a string?

#8

Ok so I switched the content type to ApplicationJSON, as well as tried to encode the data as a JSON, but then it gave an error saying headers value must be a dictionary!
