Firestore can't get empty docs

I have collection of documents where the id of the doc is the users id.
Lets call these user documents.

Each "user document" contains a subcollection of chat messages. But not all "user documents" contains any fields (data, other than the subcollection).

I wan't to return all the doc in the collection that don't have any fields, but have a subcollection, but I seems this is not possible?

var allUserDocs = {},
count = 0,
users = firestore.collection("users");

users.get().then(snapshot => {
snapshot.forEach(doc => {
count++;
allUserDocs[count] = doc.data();
});

allUserDocs.count = count;
res.status(200).send(allUserDocs);
})


this code only returns the docs that contains fields, not the docs that only have a subcollection? Is there a way to return all?

How can i get a list of all document ids in the collection? both empty and non-empty ones? or how can I add a field to all the docs without fields if i cant access them?

Use doc.id

doc.id

users.get().then(snapshot => {
snapshot.forEach(doc => {
count++;
allUserDocs[doc.id] = doc.data();
});

allUserDocs.count = count;
res.status(200).send(allUserDocs);
})
