        querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
            let document =[];
            // doc.data() is never undefined for query doc snapshots
            document.push({...doc.data() ,id: doc.id});
            //console.log(doc.id, " => ", doc.data());
          });
          setdocs(document);
    } 

    
      return () => unsub();
       
      
    }, [mycollection])
    
    return { docs };
  
}

The query snapshot, if I'm not mistaken, is the return value you waited for when you called getDocs. You are also redeclaring the document array each time in the forEach callback, it should declared outside the loop, along with the setDocs state updater function.

export const  useFireStore = (mycollection) => {
  const [docs, setDocs] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {\
    const  unsubscribe = async () => {
      const querySnapshot = await getDocs(collection(db,mycollection));

      const document =[];
      querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
        document.push({
          ...doc.data(),
          id: doc.id
        });
      });
      setdocs(document);
    }
    
    return unsubscribe;
  }, [mycollection]);
    
  return { docs };
}
