How to use a query in new modular firestore

[m8xp0w3r]

Hello everyone,
I am moving from compat to modular firestore version. I have the following function with an optional query argument:

getCollection<T>(collectionName: string, queryFn?: QueryFn): AngularFirestoreCollection<T> { return this.firestore.collection<T>(collectionName, queryFn); }

With the modular version I probably will go like this:

getCollection(collectionName: string, queryFn?: QueryFn): CollectionReference<DocumentData> { return collection(this.firestore, collectionName); }

Unfortunately I did not find anything how to pass my (optional) Query here. Do you have any suggestions how I I can do this?

Regards Nils

Hi there !

I use the following approach, perhaps it could help you.

getUsers(): Observable<User[]> { const usersCollection: CollectionReference<User> = collection( this.firestore, 'users' ) as CollectionReference<User>; return collectionData<User>( query(usersCollection, orderBy('createdAt', 'desc')), { idField: 'uid', } ); }

Have a good day buddy !

Awesome. This helped me a lot. My biggest problem was, that my IDE (PHP Storm) did not import all functions and types correct (some were imported from compat, others were not automatically detected).
