I want to show my users a folder structure, where images are placed in (they then can choose and download/view them).
The Images are in the right "folders" of Storage. But as far as I know, it's not possible to retrieve a folder-structure from Storage.
How can I build a Folder-Structure in Cloud Firestore for this? Is this even the right approach? Or is there a way simpler (out-of-the-box) solution for this problem?
I already have a Cloud function for resizing the images and creating a Document with the Path for every image that gets triggered when a new image is uploaded. Would it be a good to just check for every image, if the folder already exists or if a new one was created and if thats the case creates a new document with the path. Later i could then get all images with folder1/{filename}.jpg and all nested folders of folder1 (get all folders where folder1 is the penultimate?).
Might be completly bullshit I wrote here, because I have no idea how such systems are usualy built, so I am really happy for every advice you can give me :).
