Firebase @Exclude with kotlin data class

Actually you don't need to add only @get:Exclude but you need all 3 Exclude,

@Exclude @set:Exclude @get:Exclude.

I did it for imageUrl and providerId

data class FirebaseChatModel(
        @get:PropertyName("message")
        @set:PropertyName("message")
        var message: String = "",
        @get:PropertyName("type")
        @set:PropertyName("type")
        var type: Int = 1,
        @get:PropertyName("senderId")
        @set:PropertyName("senderId")
        var senderId: Int = 0,
        @get:PropertyName("receiverId")
        @set:PropertyName("receiverId")
        var receiverId: Int = 0,
        @Exclude @set:Exclude @get:Exclude var imageUrl: String? = "",
        @Exclude @set:Exclude @get:Exclude var providerId: Int = 0
)

Placing @Exclude on a property targets its generated field and not its generated get accesor method. To do the latter you'll need to prefix "Exclude" with "get:". e.g.:

data class User(val name: String = "", @get:Exclude val age: Int = 0)
