Firestore exclude data serialization

Question

I\'ve got several properties that should not be transferred to Firestore, such as metadata (\"id\" or \"parent\"), and with Firebase Realtime database, there was the option

Answer 1

To mark a field as excluded from the Firestore or Realtime database you can use the @Exclude annotation. For example:

@IgnoreExtraProperties
public class Model {
    @Exclude private String id;

    // ...
}

You can also use the @IgnoreExtraProperties annotation against the class to automatically ignore properties that don't map to class fields.
