Creating FIrestore Maps from the console

Question

I've seen a post on how to create a Map in the Firebase console for the realtime database, but how do you create a Map (in order to create a mutable/queryable list structure) in Firebase from the console? This is in order to create dummy data without doing so from the client.

Answer 1

Firestore documents are essentially JSON, and JSON doesn't have a native map data type. The most direct mapping is to create a JSON object:

Now you can add the keys and values under the new field.
