Answer 1

Add the firestore plugin to pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  cloud_firestore: ^0.13.5

Then execute the following:

From the terminal: Run flutter pub get.

OR

From Android Studio/IntelliJ: Click Packages get in the action ribbon at the top of pubspec.yaml.

From VS Code: Click Get Packages located in right side of the action ribbon at the top of pubspec.yaml.

In your code change:

 final documentReference = Firestore.instance.document(path);
    await documentReference.setData(job.toMap());

into this:

 final documentReference = Firestore.instance.collection(path);
    await documentReference.add(job.toMap());

In firestore you have:

collection->document->collection->document

If you want to add data to a collection , then you need to use the add() method which will create a random document id for and add the data.
