问题
I am making a mobile app using flutter with firebase as my backend.
I have a collection of user document that stores user information. one of the fields is an array of references (reference documents in another collection) which I want to use in an operation like batch that in that would then allow be to read all the documents.
I know batch only allows writes to the database, My second option would be Transaction, which requires writes after reads which I am trying to avoid.
Is there a way to read multiple documents in one operation without having to use Transaction?
回答1:
Firestore doesn't offer a formal batch read API. As Frank mentions in his comment, there is a way to use IN to fetch multiple documents from a single collection using their IDs. However, all of the documents must be in the same collection, and you can't exceed 10 documents per query. You might as well just get() for each document individually, as the IN query has limitations, and isn't guaranteed to execute any faster than the individual gets. Neither solution is guaranteed to be "consistent", so any one of the documents fetched could be "more fresh" than the others at any given moment in time.

Firestore has a REST API that allows you to do batch GETs with document paths that may be what you need.
See https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/reference/rest/v1beta1/projects.databases.documents/batchGet
