Firestore query doesn't work

[Fonzane Delungini]

Hi everyone :)

Can somebody help me explain why the firestore query method doesn't work for me?

I'm actually trying to get the example from the documentation to work.

But no matter what I do, even if I search for a non existing string, I get the same result (the object that can be seen on the picture I attached).

Someone told me that I have to use the .get() method, but I still don't understand why I get the result I attached and not the supposed result as written in the documentation.

Please help.

Kind regards,

Fonzane

Hi Fonzane,

You've got off to a good start. But what you have here is a reference to a query, not a subscription that actually reads the data. So you just need to follow the rest of the guide on reading data, specifically you either need to do get() or onSnapshot() to fetch the data. 

Keep in mind those are asynchronous, so you'll need to follow the examples closely and only call your console.log() in the .then() method once the data is returned.

☼, Kato

Take a look at how the observables work, make an observable, then subscribe to it like, .valueChanges().subscribe(Val => condole.log(Val)
