I am trying to save react-seat-picker https://github.com/roggervalf/react-seat-picker#readme data into firestore and read it back.

The one piece of code describing data that should be written/saved to firestore is this:

 const rows = [
      [{id: 1, number: 1, isSelected: true, tooltip: 'Reserved by you'}, {id: 2, number: 2, tooltip: 'Cost: 15$'}, null, {id: 3, number: '3', isReserved: true, orientation: 'east', tooltip: 'Reserved by Rogger'}, {id: 4, number: '4', orientation: 'west'}, null, {id: 5, number: 5}, {id: 6, number: 6}],
      [{id: 7, number: 1, isReserved: true, tooltip: 'Reserved by Matthias Nadler'}, {id: 8, number: 2, isReserved: true}, null, {id: 9, number: '3', isReserved: true, orientation: 'east'}, {id: 10, number: '4', orientation: 'west'}, null, {id: 11, number: 5}, {id: 12, number: 6}],
      [{id: 13, number: 1}, {id: 14, number: 2}, null, {id: 15, number: 3, isReserved: true, orientation: 'east'}, {id: 16, number: '4', orientation: 'west'}, null, {id: 17, number: 5}, {id: 18, number: 6}],
      [{id: 19, number: 1, tooltip: 'Cost: 25$'}, {id: 20, number: 2}, null, {id: 21, number: 3, orientation: 'east'}, {id: 22, number: '4', orientation: 'west'}, null, {id: 23, number: 5}, {id: 24, number: 6}],
      [{id: 25, number: 1, isReserved: true}, {id: 26, number: 2, orientation: 'east'}, null, {id: 27, number: '3', isReserved: true}, {id: 28, number: '4', orientation: 'west'}, null,{id: 29, number: 5, tooltip: 'Cost: 11$'}, {id: 30, number: 6, isReserved: true}]
    ]

You can stringify your nested array (JSON.stringify(rows)) before storing in firestore and parse it after getting it back.

So far firebase firestore doesn't support nested arrays,you need to change the data structure.Have a look at this solution

    Although your suggestion works, nested arrays are a [supported data type](https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/manage-data/add-data#data_types) in Firebase Firestore – maniSidhu98 Jun 06 '20 at 23:45

    Looks like you can only do this through code and not through the Firebase console. – pintosack Feb 08 '21 at 13:49
  • I don't think it supports nested arrays. If I try to store a nested array through code I get this error: *Cannot convert an array value in an array value* – 17xande Jun 15 '23 at 13:04
