Firebase Firestore get() not working

Question

The part it doesn\'t like is the get() method in ngOnInit(). Is says, \"[ts] Property \'get\' does not exist on type \'AngularFirestoreDocument<{}>\'.\"

Answer 1

You're using Angular Fire, so the syntax is the following:

this.afs.collection("users").doc(this.id).valueChanges(user => {
     console.log(user);
});

Read the documentation here: https://github.com/angular/angularfire2

Answer 2

Actually, AngularFirestoreDocument<{}> doesn't have get property, use AngularFirestoreDocument<{}>.ref instead:

this.afs.collection("users")
            .doc(this.id)
            .ref
            .get().then(function(doc) {
                if (doc.exists) {
                    console.log("Document data:", doc.data());
                } else {
                    console.log("No such document!");
                }
            }).catch(function(error) {
                console.log("Error getting document:", error);
            });
