You can get the ID from the created document by using collection.ref.add(your item without id) and the response (res) will contain the new document reference created with the ID inside it. So get the ID by simply doing res.id.

  createOne(options: { item: any, ref: AngularFirestoreCollection }) {
    const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

      if (options.item) {
        // Convert object to pure javascript
        const item = Object.assign({}, options.item);
        console.log('dataService: createOne: set item: ', item);

        options.ref.ref.add(item)
          .then((res) => {
            console.log('dataService: createOne success: res: ', res);
            resolve(res);
          }).catch(err => {
            console.error('dataService: createOne: error: ', err);
            reject(err);
          });
      } else {
        console.log('dataService: createOne: wrong options! options: ', options);
        reject();
      }
    })

    return promise;
  }
