How to save textarea multiline text to Cloud Firestore?

Question

I have this textArea input field for blogPost text content that may contain multiline text, like:

This is paragraph one.
(empty line)
This is paragraph two.

I will display it (when loading the blogPosts in my App) inside a <p> tag with white-space: pre-wrap;

How should I save this to Cloud Firestore?

What I've got so far:

I'm thinking about saving as JSON.stringify(textareaValue);

How can I do this? Any better options?

Answer 1

Cloud Firestore will store exactly what you send it. If you need the string to be something different at the time you render it on screen (like converting newlines to <br> ), then you will have to make those modifications yourself.
