javascript - Firestore Query - Joining two collections

Question

I am new to firestore. I want to get the name from a different collection by using join query by ID. How can I do that in firestore?

Here is some sample collection.

I have two collection.Employee and department.

Department collection:
 1001 --> DeptId : 1001
          DeptName : Account
 1002 -->  DeptId : 1002
           DeptName : HR

Employee collection

2001 --> empId : 2001
         DeptId :1001
         empName : Jon
2002 -->  empId : 2002
         DeptId : 1002
         empName : Steve

I want to query employee collection and wants to add dept document as part of the response. Here is sample response I am trying to get.

{
  "empid": 2001,
  "empname" : Jon
  "Dept" :{
    "Id" :1001,
    "DeptName" : HR
  } 
}

Here is my sample code to get employee data.

function getEmployee(req, res)
{
 var empId = req.query.empId;
var obj = admin.firestore().collection('employee').doc(empId);
  obj.get()
 .then(function(emp) {
   if (emp.exists) {       
       return res.status(200).send(JSON.stringify(emp.data()));
   } else {              
       return res.status(200).send('not found');
   }
})
.catch(function(error) {
   res.status(500).send('Error getting data.' })
});
}

How to add dept object to this employee?
