Accessing the AutoId class from firebase functions












0















I'd like to be able to generate a new document id in my Firebase functions code using the same code that Firebase uses: AutoId class



I don't want to use store.collection(..).doc() to get a new document reference if I can avoid it as I'd prefer that this code didn't take a reference on the admin.firestore.Firestore object.



What packages and import statements do I need to use to get hold of the AutoId class?



Ideally I'd like to import TypeScript type definitions as well
