Matching users Firestore db model
I am developing a mobile app in flutter to help people connect with DIY experts.
The app will connect people who need advice to people who are expert, then let them chat in 1:1 messaging. As example, person A want advice on plumbing, so the app connect him to person B, who know how to plumbing.
My database model is use Firestore to store user details and FCM tokens. Cloud functions to send notifications to all expert FCM tokens (to notify them when non-expert need help).
Here my model so far:
- Firestore: Store 2 groups users: non-expert and expert.
- When non-expert in app taps ‘I need help!’, flag non-expert’s field in database ’needhelp’ to set to true.
- Firebase Cloud function listen to change, and send FCM to all expert FCM tokens in database.
- ?? When one expert in app tap ‘I can help!’, create new chat document in db ??
- Firestore: Create new Messages document, store messages etc.
My question is step 4: how to match and connect expert and non-expert in new 1:1 chat when expert tap ‘I can help’ in client app. On tap, should expert client app set new value in document in Firestore? What document? What db model for this?
Similar apps are dating apps e.g. Tinder. Fun question: What would Tinder Firestore look like? :)

@AlexMamo I have watch all you videos, but not answer my question. You schema work where you always know exactly who you will connect with. In you video: 'Second User' / First Random User' / 'Second Random User'. You schema work for normal chat app because always know who need connect to. However in my app we never know which users we will be connecting before there is match. We don't know who non-expert will connect to. We don't even know if non-expert will find match. So my database model must be different.

Once you change that property to available, it means that you know the person you are chating with. So basically the whole problem is reduces the schema in my video.
