Firebase Firestore get() async/await

Question

can anyone help me to \"translate\" this example in Typescript with async/await

console.log(\"start\") 
var citiesRef = db.collection(\'cities\');
var allCi         


        

Answer 1

Without knowing the types, I assumed base on their usage that they conform to the following interface:

var db: {
    collection(name: 'cities'): {
        get(): Promise>
    }
};

Given that declaration, an async/await version of the code would be

async function foo() {
    console.log("start")
    var citiesRef = db.collection('cities');
    try {
        var allCitiesSnapShot = await citiesRef.get();
        allCitiesSnapShot.forEach(doc => {
            console.log(doc.id, '=>', doc.data().name);
        });
        console.log("end")
    }
    catch (err) {
        console.log('Error getting documents', err);
    }
}
