Returns
Type	Description

Remarks

You must specify at least one OrderBy(string) clause for limit-to-last queries. Otherwise, an InvalidOperationException is thrown during execution.

Results for limit-to-last queries are only available once all documents are received, which means that these queries cannot be streamed using the StreamAsync(CancellationToken) method.

Listen(Action<QuerySnapshot>, CancellationToken)

public FirestoreChangeListener Listen(Action<QuerySnapshot> callback, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)

Listen to this query for changes. This method is a convenience method over Listen(Func<QuerySnapshot, CancellationToken, Task>, CancellationToken), wrapping a synchronous callback to create an asynchronous one.

Parameters
Name	Description
`callback`	`ActionQuerySnapshot` The callback to invoke each time the query results change. Must not be null.
`cancellationToken`	`CancellationToken` Optional cancellation token which may be used to cancel the listening operation.

Returns
Type	Description
`FirestoreChangeListener`	A FirestoreChangeListener which may be used to monitor the listening operation and stop it gracefully.

Listen(Func<QuerySnapshot, CancellationToken, Task>, CancellationToken)

public FirestoreChangeListener Listen(Func<QuerySnapshot, CancellationToken, Task> callback, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)

Listen to this query for changes.

Specifies a number of results to skip.

Parameter
Name	Description

Returns
Type	Description
`Query`	A new query based on the current one, but with the additional specified ordering applied.

Remarks

Unlike LINQ's OrderBy method, this call adds additional subordinate orderings to any additionally specified. So query.OrderBy("foo").OrderBy("bar") is similar to a LINQ query.OrderBy(x => x.Foo).ThenBy(x => x.Bar).

This method cannot be called after a start/end cursor has been specified with StartAt(params object[]), StartAfter(params object[]), EndAt(params object[]) or EndBefore(params object[]).

Returns
Type	Description
`Query`	A new query based on the current one, but with the additional specified ordering applied.

Remarks

Unlike LINQ's OrderBy method, this call adds additional subordinate orderings to any additionally specified. So query.OrderBy("foo").OrderByDescending("bar") is similar to a LINQ query.OrderBy(x => x.Foo).ThenByDescending(x => x.Bar).

This method cannot be called after a start/end cursor has been specified with StartAt(params object[]), StartAfter(params object[]), EndAt(params object[]) or EndBefore(params object[]).

CancellationToken

The cancellation token to apply to the streaming operation. Note that even if this is None, a cancellation token can still be applied when iterating over the stream, by passing it into GetAsyncEnumerator(CancellationToken).
