I want to build a view to show some events inside a listview in my app like this:
I have these two tables:
Users
As I was telling in the coments Firestore does not support multi collection querys cause its no relational DB. If you need to access multiple collections you would manage querys independently.
This is how I usually get related collections data (Sorry this is JS code but I dont know DART):
var data = {};
//First you get users data
DocumentReference document = Firestore.collection("users")
document.get().then((snapshot) => {
//In this case I will store data in some object, so I can add events as an array for a key in each user object
snapshot.forEach((userDoc) => {
var userDocData = userDoc.data()
if (data[userDoc.id] == undefined) {
data[userDoc.id] = userDocData
}
})
//So in this moment data object contains users, now fill users with events data
//In this var you count how many async events have been downloaded, with results or not.
var countEvents = 0
Object.keys(data).forEach((userDocId) => {
//Here Im creating another query to get all events for each user
SnapshotReference eventsForCurrentUserRef = Firestore.collection("events").where("userId", "==", userDocId)
eventsForCurrentUserRef.get.then((eventsForUserSnapshot) => {
//Count events
countEvents++
eventsForUserSnapshot.forEach((eventDoc) => {
var eventDocData = eventDoc.data()
//Check if array exists, if not create it
if (data[eventDocData.userId].events == undefined) {
data[eventDocData.userId].events = []
}
data[eventDocData.userId].events.push(eventDocData)
})
if(countEvents == Object.keys(data).length){
//Lookup for events in every user has finished
}
})
})
})
