'How do you create a subcollection in Firebase Firestore?
I'm having troulbe figuring out how to add a subcollection to a document in my React App. I'm also getting the error that db.collection() is not a function. I'm trying to add the subcollection in the registerWithEmailAndPassword function. The Firebase Firestore documentation does not specify how to create a subcollection. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you. Firebase config has been ommited to protect my API key.
import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import {
GoogleAuthProvider,
getAuth,
signInWithPopup,
signInWithEmailAndPassword,
createUserWithEmailAndPassword,
sendPasswordResetEmail,
signOut,
} from "firebase/auth";
import {
getFirestore,
query,
getDocs,
collection,
where,
addDoc,
Firestore,
doc,
DocumentReference,
setDoc
} from "firebase/firestore";
// TODO: Add SDKs for Firebase products that you want to use

// Initialize Firebase
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const auth = getAuth(app);
const db = getFirestore(app);
const googleProvider = new GoogleAuthProvider();
const signInWithGoogle = async () => {
try {
const res = await signInWithPopup(auth, googleProvider);
const user = res.user;
const q = query(collection(db, "users"), where("uid", "==", user.uid));
const docs = await getDocs(q);
if (docs.docs.length === 0) {
await addDoc(collection(db, "users"), {
uid: user.uid,
name: user.displayName,
authProvider: "google",
email: user.email,
});
}
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
alert(err.message);
}
};
const logInWithEmailAndPassword = async (email, password) => {
try {
await signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
alert(err.message);
}
};
const registerWithEmailAndPassword = async (name, email, password) => {

db.collection("users").doc(userDoc.id).collection("test");

export {
