i have a firestore collection and want to update a couple fields in it's subcollection, which is in the form of an array. I cannot manage to do this. the data parameter gets me exactly what I want, and then i slice it to get the last array in subcollection. Have broken it down to collection('').doc('').collection(''), as well, with no luck. Thank you for any help!
async updateDialogueStatus({ state }, data){
const whoDis = this.$fire.auth.currentUser
if (data.dialogue.length > 0) {
const lastDialogueInArray = data.dialogue.slice(-1)[0];
this.$fire.firestore.collection('conversations/' + data.id + 'dialogue/' + lastDialogueInArray.messageId).update({
status: "read",
readBy: whoDis.email
})
} else {}
i get this error: "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: _this2.$fire.firestore.collection(...).update is not a function"
You're constructing a path to the document to update, but then call this.$fire.firestore.collection. Call .doc to get the correct object, on which you can call update.

this.$fire.firestore.doc('conversations/' + data.id + '/dialogue/' + lastDialogueInArray.messageId).update({
