Cloud Firestore deep get with subcollection

Question

Let's say we have a root collection named 'todos'.

Every document in this collection has:

1. title: String
2. subcollection named todo_items

Every document in the subcollection todo_items has

1. title: String
2. completed: Boolean

I know that querying in Cloud Firestore is shallow by default, which is great, but is there a way to query the todos and get results that include the subcollection todo_items automatically?

In other words, how do I make the following query include the todo_items subcollection?

db.collection('todos').onSnapshot((snapshot) => {
  snapshot.docChanges.forEach((change) => {
    // ...
  });
});

Answer 1

This type of query isn't supported, although it is something we may consider in the future.
