Cloud Firestore requests are still case sensitive?

Question

The Firebase Realtime database accepts queries with rows, as appropriate.

Does this stay for Firestore?

Answer 1

Yes, queries are still case sensitive.

To support case-insensitive or any other canonicalization, you need to write a separate field containing the canonized version and a request for it. for instance

db.collection("users").where("name", "=", "Dan")
db.collection("users").where("name_lowercase", "=", "dan")

Answer 2

I recommend that you use a slug for each entity.
