Seperate collection and document level operations respectively.

[p4-k4]

Currently, does anyone feel there is a crossover between collection and document level operations respectively?

For example:

FirebaseFirestore.instance.doc(documentPath).delete()

As above, we're calling the delete() method on the document level. which I'm struggling to come to grips with.

I would expect this to be a collection level operation, not a document level operation as it is above. Reason being - a document exists within a collection but we cannot have a document existing within a document.

I'd also expect that implementation resembles:

• collection -> collection based operations only
• document/sub-collection -> document/subcollection based operations only
• data -> data based operations only.

Much like how a field exists within a document.

FirebaseFirestore.instance
          .doc(documentPath)
          .update({fieldPath: FieldValue.delete()});

This makes absolute sense to me.

My proposal is that there is improved distinction between document and collection operations. My hope is that this would also reflect in how we implement these operations/methods.

Cheers
