Query an child in an array of objects in Firestore

I'm trying to find an element of an array field in my firestore collection.

This is the field in firestore:

channels: [{name: "linkedin", date: "2020-01-02"}]

This is how I tried querying it:

firebase.firestore().collection("users")
  .where("status", "==", "ACTIVE")
  .where("channels", "array-contains", {
      name: "linkedin"                     
  })

array-contains can`t perform search into objects specific values for properties.

it would work if you do something like channels: ["Linkedin", "facebook", "twitter"]

Probably you want to try to use a subcollection for channels instead, otherwise, you need to fetch all the values into channels and then apply filters in memory.
