Using Flutter 3.3.9, I fetch a record from my Firestore database using a Streambuilder. I use the following code segment to do this:
StreamBuilder<Object>(
stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.doc(userId)
.snapshots(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
return Text('Loading...');
}
return Text(
snapshot.data!.doc['username'], // This line is marked as error bexcause "doc" is illegal.
),
);
},
),
The snapshot.data!.doc['username']
gives the following error:
The getter 'doc' isn't defined for the type 'Object'.
I verified that the 'Object' is of type "AsyncSnapshot" (=snapshot.runtimeType). It looks like the only getters available for the snapshot.data are hashCode, runtimeType, toString(), and noSuchMethod(..).
I tried
snapshot.data!().doc['username'],
But this does not work either. The error is "The expression doesn't evaluate to a function, so it can't be invoked"
I was able to access the data without using the StreamBuilder. The following works:
final docRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.doc(userId);
docRef.get().then(
(DocumentSnapshot doc) {
final data = doc.data() as Map<String, dynamic>;
print(data['username']);
},
onError: (e) => print("Error getting document: $e"),
);
you have two mistakes, in your piece of code, you should specify the type of the AsyncSnapshot
, like this:
StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>( // Specified type
stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.doc(userId)
.snapshots(),
builder: (context, AsyncSnapshot<DocumentSnapshot> snapshot) { //Specified type
//...
now using snapshot.data!
, it should be a DocumentSnapshot
type, and as I see, that you're trying to get the data of that document so you need also to change this line:
snapshot.data!.doc['username'],
to this:
(snapshot.data!.data() as Map<String, dynamic>)['username'],
now it will access the username field properly.
