I am trying to search multiple fields in my Firebase database for app users to lookup contacts with FirstName, LastName, and JobTitle. I know that queries with "OR" is one of the limitations, but I was wondering if someone came up with a way to merge multiple queries to substitute the functionality of "OR". Below is the code I am using to search users based on their first name.
Thanks Folks!
final usersProfile = Firestore.instance.collection('Users');
handleSearch(String query) {
Future<QuerySnapshot> users =
usersProfile.where('First Name', isEqualTo: query).getDocuments();
setState(() {
searchResultsFuture = users;
});
}

to create a new user (via email authentication) I have to allow everything in firestore, is there a better way?
match /users/{userId=**} {
allow get, list;
}
Code:
I check whether the name is already taken
Future<bool> doesNameAlreadyExist(String name) async {
final QuerySnapshot result = await FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.where('name', isEqualTo: name)
.limit(1)
.get();
final List<DocumentSnapshot> documents = result.docs;
return documents.length == 1;
}
authentication then takes place later when the user presses the login button:
final auth = Provider.of(context)!.auth!;
String uid = await auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
emailController.text,
passwordController.text,
nameController.text,
);
As mentioned in the Answer:
Enforcing uniqueness is only possible by creating an extra collection.
In your current structure, to know if a username is unique, you will
need to read each document. This is incredibly inefficient, and on top
of that it isn't possible in security rules, since they can only read
a few documents per rule.
The trick is to create an extra collection
of usernames, where you also have a document for each user, but now
the key/ID of each document is the username. With such a collection,
you can check for the existence of a certain document, which is a
primitive operation in the security rules.
For information you can check some similar scenarios - case_1 , case_2 and case_3.
On the explore page, I get() the entire users collection to create a user list and search results. Inside each of those user documents is a collection posts that I also need to get to create a GridView of each post. I want to reuse that users collection QuerySnapshot instead of fetching each posts collection again to save money. Is this possible?
Here is my current function:
void fetchUsers() async {
final userRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('users');
final QuerySnapshot result = await userRef.get();
final docs = result.docs.asMap();
docs.forEach((index, value) {
final profile =
ProfileObject.fromJson(value.data() as Map<String, dynamic>);
usersList.add(UserSearchResult(profile, value.id));
/// Below is the code for getting the posts, not working, need ideas
final QuerySnapshot postsResult = value.get('posts');
final posts = postsResult.docs.asMap();
posts.forEach((index, value) {
final post = Post.fromJson(value.data() as Map<String, dynamic>);
postsList.add(post);
});
});
print(usersList);
print(postsList);
}
Here is the structure of my Firestore:
users
uid (doc)
posts (collection)
info (fields)
uid (doc)
posts (collection)
info (fields)
It is not possible to call a collection to get all sub-collections. You should restructure your database to include sub-collection data in document itself. You can use a map or list for that. But remember, calling everything in one go may end up in slow performance and you might end up losing your customers. So the best way is to include the info in every posts' documents. That way, you won't loss your money and user won't feel lag in performance.
It is not possible. You fetch a document, then fetch the (sub)collection under it.
Subcollection data are not included in the initial document snapshots because Firestore queries are shallow. There shouldn't be any cost savings that you can do there?
See the similar Q&A:

I want to order the documents in Firestore. The default Firestore documents list consist of alphabetic characters which get created automatically. But I don't want that. I just want to see my newly added document added at the top of my documents list. How do I do that in flutter? It would be very helpful if you provide me with a code for that. The code I use to create a collection is:
Future<void> userSetup() async {
String user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.displayName as String;
CollectionReference users = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(user);
final hours = time?.hour.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
final minutes = time?.minute.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
users.add({
"customerId": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.uid.toString(),
"customerName": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.displayName,
"customerEmail": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.email,
"selectedTime": '${hours}:${minutes}',
"selectedDate": DateFormat('dd/MM/yyyy').format(date!),
});
return;
}
But I am unable to set my own document id. Please help me with the issue. Thanks in Advance
From the Flutterfire documentation, the set() method is the one you should be using to be able to specify your own document IDs instead of add(). Keep in mind that if the document ID you specify already exists in your database, the whole existing document will be replaced. This is a sample usage as found in the documentation:
CollectionReference users = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('users');
Future<void> addUser() {
return users
.doc('ABC123')
.set({
'full_name': "Mary Jane",
'age': 18
})
.then((value) => print("User Added"))
.catchError((error) => print("Failed to add user: $error"));
}
It seems that documents are ordered alphabetically in the Firestore console, so your custom document IDs should follow alphabetical order as you require. Not to be confused with retrieving documents from Firestore in a particular order, which is done with the orderBy() method.
Is there a way to achieve this?
i have tried to assign the entry to a local variable but it doesn't work with crudmethods.
getData() async {
String userId = 'userId';
Firestore.instance.collection('user').document(userId).snapshots();
var snapshot;
var userDocument = snapshot.data;
String _myAddress = userDocument["address"];
return Firestore.instance
.collection('letters')
.where("source Box", isEqualTo: _myAddress)
.snapshots();
}
Yes, you should be able to use a document in the query of another document.
For this, you need to create a reference for one collection and use it in another one.
The below code is an example that you can give it a try adapting further for your case, but that I believe should help you.
// Create references to the profile and orders collections
var profilesRef = db.collection("profile");
var ordersRef = db.collection("orders");
// Create a query against the collection.
var query = ordersRef.where("username", "==", ).doc("username").get();
In the documentation Perform simple and compound queries in Cloud Firestore, there is more information and example of queries that should help you.
In addition to that, this below post from the Community can provide you some insights on how to achieve this type of query as well.
How can I get specific document data from firestore querysnapshot?
Let me know if the information helped you!
I´ve a role based data model on Firestore according to googles suggestion here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/role-based-access
Security rules are set up correctly and work fine. But now I´ve the problem on how to query for the roles.
This is my data model (one sample document):
id: "1234-5678-91234",
roles:
userId_1:"owner",
userId_2:"editor
title: "This is a sample document"
And this is my Firestore Query in Flutter which gets all documents for a specific user by its ID if the user has assigned the role "owner" for the document:
return firestore
.collection(path)
.where("roles.${user.firebaseUserId}", isEqualTo: "owner")
.snapshots().map((snapshot) {
return snapshot.documents.map((catalog) {
return SomeDocumentObject(...);
}).toList();
});
My problem now is, that I need some kind of "OR" clause - which does not exist as far as I know. The query above only retrieves documents for users with role "owner" but I need a query that also retrieves the document if the userId is associated with the role "editor".
I´ve tried "arrayContains:" which also doesn´t seem to work (cause it´s a map).
I´ve read about solutions with two independent queries which doesn´t sound like a good solution due to a lot of overhead.
Maybe someone of you have a hint for me? :)
Thanks & best,
Michael
Firestore doesn't currently have any logical OR operations. You'll have to perform two queries, one for each condition, and merge the results of both queries in the client app.
This is the final solution using RxDart, Observables and .combineLatest() - maybe it helps someone out there:
#override
Stream<List<Catalog>> catalogs(User user) {
// Retrieve all catalogs where user is owner
Observable<QuerySnapshot> ownerCatalogs = Observable(firestore
.collection(path)
.where("roles.${user.firebaseUserId}", isEqualTo: "owner")
.snapshots());
// Retrieve all catalogs where user is editor
Observable<QuerySnapshot> editorCatalogs = Observable(firestore
.collection(path)
.where("roles.${user.firebaseUserId}", isEqualTo: "editor")
.snapshots());
// Convert merged stream to list of catalogs
return Observable.combineLatest([ownerCatalogs, editorCatalogs],
(List<QuerySnapshot> snapshotList) {
List<Catalog> catalogs = [];
snapshotList.forEach((snapshot) {
snapshot.documents.forEach((DocumentSnapshot catalog) {
catalogs.add(Catalog(
id: catalog.documentID,
title: catalog.data['title'],
roles: catalog.data['roles'],
));
});
});
return catalogs;
}).asBroadcastStream();
}
