With the Firebase Extension (https://github.com/typesense/firestore-typesense-search#step-3%EF%B8%8F%E2%83%A3--optional-backfill-existing-data) can we backfill a specific collection and not all at once?

Loïc
04/27/2022, 6:24 PMJust did 👍
Loïc
04/27/2022, 6:30 PM@Jason Bosco Also in new collection schema, it automatically ignore my field
id Copy code
"fields": [
{
"name": "id",
"type": "string",
"index": true
},
…j
Jason Bosco
04/27/2022, 6:30 PMYes this is expected. If you want to search by the ID field, you want to duplicate that in a new field

04/27/2022, 6:31 PMOK, thank you 👍
Loïc
04/27/2022, 6:50 PMI please need your advice on the collection schema
If I know that I will query by
FieldAFieldB Copy code
"fields": [
{
"name": "FieldA",
"type": "string",
"index": true
},{
"name": "FieldB",
"type": "string",
"index": true
},
…j
Jason Bosco
04/27/2022, 6:50 PMYou can just leave FieldB out of the schema
Jason Bosco
04/27/2022, 6:51 PMOnly fields you want to search / filter / facet / sort need to be part of the schema

04/27/2022, 6:51 PMWhen I tried this I didn’t receive the field from Firestore 🤔
Loïc
04/27/2022, 6:51 PMBecause I still want to store and return in my search the ``FieldB``
Loïc
04/27/2022, 6:51 PMBut not use it to query

Jason Bosco
04/27/2022, 6:52 PMAll other fields can still be part of your document, they'll be stored on disk and returned in results
Jason Bosco
04/27/2022, 6:52 PMWhen I tried this I didn’t receive the field from FirestoreIf you want to sync all fields over from Firestore, you want to leave the fields configuration in the extension blank

Loïc
04/27/2022, 6:53 PMIn firestore I have
FieldAFieldBFieldCFieldAFieldBFieldAFieldAFieldBj
Jason Bosco
04/27/2022, 6:54 PMGot it, then in the Firebase Extension configuration, you want to mention
FieldA,FieldBFieldAl
