Is it possible to get the field type of a field in a document?
I want to create a function that looks something like this:
def print_field_types(collection_ref, document_ref):
db = some_function_that_initializes_app()
document = db.collection(collection_ref).document(document_ref).get().to_dict()
for field in document:
print(f"Field_name : {field}, Field_type : {field.type}")
Where field.type returns the type of the field. For example it should return something like this:
Field_name : Username, Field_type : string Field_name : Age, Field_type : number Field_name : Tasks, Field_type : array

From the document snapshot, with document.get you can get the field value as an Object and then in Python from this object you can the get the type with type() function.
