Allow spaces in collection names
Expected Behavior
ODM can handle spaces in collection ids. The official restrictions on collection ids are documented here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/quotas#limits
Actual Behavior
ODM refuses to generate code when a collection id containing a space is passed to @Collection()
.
Relevant LOCs: https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/firestoreodm-flutter/blob/main/packages/cloud_firestore_odm_generator/lib/src/collection_data.dart#L341
Unfortunately we have a few collections with spaces in their names, which blocks us from fully adopting the Cloud Firestore ODM.
Hacky Workaround
- Temporarily remove the space of the collection name; i.e.
@Collection('hello world')
becomes@Collection('helloworld')
- Run code generator (works)
- Edit the generated file; add the space again
This is a maintenance nightmare though.
