In Cloud Firestore rules - How do I check if a key is null

Question

In Cloud Firestore Rules - I have a document called task and I want to see if some data (assignee field) is null / don't exists.

I've tried:

1. resource.data.assignee == null - Does not work (Error)
2. !resource.data.hasAll(['assignee']) - Does not work (Error)

From the documentation - it states that this indeed creates an error: // Error, key doesn't exist allow read: if resource.data.nonExistentKey == 'value';

Answer 1

Reading the list comparisons of the Firestore Security rules documentation here, we can see that hasAll returns true if all values are present in the list.

// Allow read if one list has all items in the other list
allow read: if ['username', 'age'].hasAll(['username', 'age']);

The request.resource.data is a map containing the fields and values. In order to use hasAll, we must first get the keys as a list of values as shown here.

!resource.data.keys().hasAll(['assignee'])
