ERROR Error: Function DocumentReference.set() called with invalid data. Unsupported field value: undefined (found in field activityId)

Question

I am trying to store my auto generated id into the documents field as.

  var act  =  this.afs.collection("activities").add({
  activityId = act.id,

    })
.then(function(docRef) {
    console.log("Document written with ID: ", docRef.id);
})
.catch(function(error) {
    console.error("Error adding document: ", error);
});

but in the console there is an error occur. I am sure I am using wrong approach. Please help me how can I access auto id of my document? Any help will be appreciated.

Shouldn't that be activityId: act.id instead of activityId = act.id? — David Knipe

You can use angularfire2 method .createId(). This will generate a random id locally.

let id = this.afs.createId();
this.afs.collection("activities").doc(id).set({
    activityId: id
});
