Solution 1
You cannot create empty collection, you have to create document inside. data model
function writeUserData(userId, name, email, imageUrl) {
firebase.database().ref('users/' + userId).set({
username: name,
email: email,
profile_picture : imageUrl
});
}
You can get user id in this way
var userId = firebase.auth().currentUser.uid;
For cloud firestore
db.doc(userId + '/data').set({
name: name,
email: email
});
Solution 2
I was trying to create a collection within a document and the accepted answer didn't work for me, but this did:
db
.collection("coll1")
.doc("doc1")
.collection("newCollectionName")
.doc("newDocName")
.set(data);

When user creates account in my angular app, my app creates user account (using Firebase API) with email and password. But also I want to create new collection to hold more data like name, surname...
Each collection's name will have uid. But I don't know how to force it?
db.createCollection('abcXdefX')
doesn't exist. I've no idea what to do. Please, help.
