Getting data

There are two ways to retrieve data stored in Cloud Firestore. Either of these methods can be used with documents, collections of documents, or the results of queries:

  • Call a method to get the data.
  • Set a listener to receive data-change events.

When you set a listener, Cloud Firestore sends your listener an initial snapshot of the data, and then another snapshot each time the document changes.

Example data

To get started, write some data about cities so we can look at different ways to read it back:

Web
var citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.doc("SF").set({
    name: "San Francisco", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 860000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "norcal"] });
citiesRef.doc("LA").set({
    name: "Los Angeles", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 3900000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "socal"] });
citiesRef.doc("DC").set({
    name: "Washington, D.C.", state: null, country: "USA",
    capital: true, population: 680000,
    regions: ["east_coast"] });
citiesRef.doc("TOK").set({
    name: "Tokyo", state: null, country: "Japan",
    capital: true, population: 9000000,
    regions: ["kanto", "honshu"] });
citiesRef.doc("BJ").set({
    name: "Beijing", state: null, country: "China",
    capital: true, population: 21500000,
    regions: ["jingjinji", "hebei"] });

Source Options

For platforms with offline support, you can set the source option to control how a get call uses the offline cache.

By default, a get call will attempt to fetch the latest document snapshot from your database. On platforms with offline support, the client library will use the offline cache if the network is unavailable or if the request times out.

You can specify the source option in a get() call to change the default behavior. You can fetch from only the database and ignore the offline cache, or you can fetch from only the offline cache. For example:

Web
var docRef = db.collection("cities").doc("SF");

// Valid options for source are 'server', 'cache', or
// 'default'. See https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.firestore.GetOptions
// for more information.
var getOptions = {
    source: 'cache'
};

// Get a document, forcing the SDK to fetch from the offline cache.
docRef.get(getOptions).then(function(doc) {
    // Document was found in the cache. If no cached document exists,
    // an error will be returned to the 'catch' block below.
    console.log("Cached document data:", doc.data());
}).catch(function(error) {
    console.log("Error getting cached document:", error);
});

let docRef = db.collection("cities").document("SF")

Custom objects

The previous example retrieved the contents of the document as a map, but in some languages it's often more convenient to use a custom object type. In Add Data, you defined a City class that you used to define each city. You can turn your document back into a City object:

Web
  // Web uses JavaScript objects
Swift
let docRef = db.collection("cities").document("BJ")

docRef.getDocument { (document, error) in
    if let city = document.flatMap({
      $0.data().flatMap({ (data) in
        return City(dictionary: data)
      })
    }) {
        print("City: \(city)")
    } else {
        print("Document does not exist")
    }
}

FIRDocumentReference *docRef =
[[self.db collectionWithPath:@"cities"] documentWithPath:@"BJ"];
[docRef getDocumentWithCompletion:^(FIRDocumentSnapshot *snapshot, NSError *error) {
  FSTCity *city = [[FSTCity alloc] initWithDictionary:snapshot.data];
  if (city != nil) {
    NSLog(@"City: %@", city);
  } else {
    NSLog(@"Document does not exist");
  }
}];

docRef.get().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {

    public void onSuccess(DocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot) {
        City city = documentSnapshot.toObject(City.class);
    }
});

Get multiple documents from a collection

You can also retrieve multiple documents with one request by querying documents in a collection. For example, you can use where() to query for all of the documents that meet a certain condition, then use get() to retrieve the results:

Web
db.collection("cities").where("capital", "==", true)
    .get()
    .then(function(querySnapshot) {
        querySnapshot.forEach(function(doc) {
            // doc.data() is never undefined for query doc snapshots
            console.log(doc.id, " => ", doc.data());
        });
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.log("Error getting documents: ", error);
    });
test.firestore.js
Swift
db.collection("cities").whereField("capital", isEqualTo: true)
    .getDocuments() { (querySnapshot, err) in
        if let err = err {
            print("Error getting documents: \(err)")
        } else {
            for document in querySnapshot!.documents {
                print("\(document.documentID) => \(document.data())")
            }
        }
}

      } else {
        for (FIRDocumentSnapshot *document in snapshot.documents) {

By default, Cloud Firestore retrieves all documents that satisfy the query in ascending order by document ID, but you can order and limit the data returned.

Get all documents in a collection

In addition, you can retrieve all documents in a collection by omitting the where() filter entirely:

Web
db.collection("cities").get().then(function(querySnapshot) {
    querySnapshot.forEach(function(doc) {
        // doc.data() is never undefined for query doc snapshots
        console.log(doc.id, " => ", doc.data());
    });
});

db.collection("cities").getDocuments() { (querySnapshot, err) in
    if let err = err {
        print("Error getting documents: \(err)")
    } else {

Get multiple documents from a collection group

A collection group consists of all collections with the same ID. For example, if each document in your cities collection has a subcollection called landmarks, all of the landmarks subcollections belong to the same collection group. By default, queries retrieve results from a single collection in your database. Use a collection group query to retrieve results from a collection group instead of from a single collection.

List subcollections of a document

The getCollections() method of the Cloud Firestore server client libraries lists all subcollections of a document reference.

Retrieving a list of collections is not possible with the mobile/web client libraries. You should only look up collection names as part of administrative tasks in trusted server environments. If you find that you need this capability in the mobile/web client libraries, consider restructuring your data so that subcollection names are predictable.
