    You are trying to use the version 8 style of API with the version 9 SDK. That won’t work. The APIs are completely different in v9.

    When following the Firebase documentation, you should make sure to use the v9 code samples by selecting the correct tab. For example, to add a new document, the code will look like this:

    import { getFirestore, collection, addDoc } from "firebase/firestore"; 

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const db = getFirestore(app);

// Add a new document with a generated id.
const docRef = await addDoc(collection(db, "series"), {
        id: getUUID(),
        title: 'Tiger King',
        description: 'An exploration of big cat breeding and its bizarre underworld, populated by eccentric characters.',
        genre: 'documentaries',
        maturity: '18',
        slug: 'tiger-king',
});

    if you are going to use version 9 it is configured in this way, you can initialize the configuration You will have to import Cloud Firestore js/firebase.js

    import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getFirestore } from "firebase/firestore";

    const firebaseApp = initializeApp({
      apiKey: "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
      authDomain: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
      projectId: "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
      storageBucket: "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
      messagingSenderId: "XXXXXXXXXX",
      appId: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    });

    Initialize Firebase

    const app = initializeApp(firebaseApp);

    initialize Cloud Firestore and get a reference to the service

    const db = getFirestore(app);
export { db };

    now in to call the add() method

      import { doc, setDoc } from "firebase/firestore"
    import { db } from "js/firebase.js"; <<< ref
    
    export function seedDatabase() {
      try {
        function getUUID() {
          // eslint gets funny about bitwise
          /* eslint-disable */
          return "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx".replace(/[xy]/g, (c) => {
            const piece = (Math.random() * 16) | 0;
            const elem = c === "x" ? piece : (piece & 0x3) | 0x8;
            return elem.toString(16);
          });
          /* eslint-enable */
        }
      
        /* Series
          ============================================ */
        // Documentaries
        const { id } = await addDoc(collection(db, "series"), {
          id: getUUID(),
          title: "Tiger King",
          description:
            "An exploration of big cat breeding and its bizarre underworld, populated by eccentric characters.",
          genre: "documentaries",
          maturity: "18",
          slug: "tiger-king",
        });
    
      } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
      }
     
    }
