I have a Cloud Firestore DB with the following structure:
users
[uid]
name: "Test User"
posts
[id]
content: "Just some test post."
timestamp: (Dec. 22, 2017)
uid: [uid]
There is more data present in the actual DB, the above just illustrates the collection/document/field structure.
I have a view in my web app where I'm displaying posts and would like to display the name of the user who posted. I'm using the below query to fetch the posts:
let loadedPosts = {};
posts = db.collection('posts')
.orderBy('timestamp', 'desc')
.limit(3);
posts.get()
.then((docSnaps) => {
const postDocs = docSnaps.docs;
for (let i in postDocs) {
loadedPosts[postDocs[i].id] = postDocs[i].data();
}
});
// Render loadedPosts later
What I want to do is query the user object by the uid stored in the post's uid field, and add the user's name field into the corresponding loadedPosts object. If I was only loading one post at a time this would be no problem, just wait for the query to come back with an object and in the .then() function make another query to the user document, and so on.
However because I'm getting multiple post documents at once, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to map the correct user to the correct post after calling .get() on each post's user/[uid] document due to the asynchronous way they return.
Can anyone think of an elegant solution to this issue?
It seems fairly simple to me:
let loadedPosts = {};
posts = db.collection('posts')
.orderBy('timestamp', 'desc')
.limit(3);
posts.get()
.then((docSnaps) => {
docSnaps.forEach((doc) => {
loadedPosts[doc.id] = doc.data();
db.collection('users').child(doc.data().uid).get().then((userDoc) => {
loadedPosts[doc.id].userName = userDoc.data().name;
});
})
});
If you want to prevent loading a user multiple times, you can cache the user data client side. In that case I'd recommend factoring the user-loading code into a helper function. But it'll be a variation of the above.
I would do 1 user doc call and the needed posts call.
let users = {} ;
let loadedPosts = {};
db.collection('users').get().then((results) => {
results.forEach((doc) => {
users[doc.id] = doc.data();
});
posts = db.collection('posts').orderBy('timestamp', 'desc').limit(3);
posts.get().then((docSnaps) => {
docSnaps.forEach((doc) => {
loadedPosts[doc.id] = doc.data();
loadedPosts[doc.id].userName = users[doc.data().uid].name;
});
});
After trying multiple solution I get it done with RXJS combineLatest, take operator. Using map function we can combine result.
Might not be an optimum solution but here its solve your problem.
combineLatest(
this.firestore.collection('Collection1').snapshotChanges(),
this.firestore.collection('Collection2').snapshotChanges(),
//In collection 2 we have document with reference id of collection 1
)
.pipe(
take(1),
).subscribe(
([dataFromCollection1, dataFromCollection2]) => {
this.dataofCollection1 = dataFromCollection1.map((data) => {
return {
id: data.payload.doc.id,
...data.payload.doc.data() as {},
}
as IdataFromCollection1;
});
this.dataofCollection2 = dataFromCollection2.map((data2) => {
return {
id: data2.payload.doc.id,
...data2.payload.doc.data() as {},
}
as IdataFromCollection2;
});
console.log(this.dataofCollection2, 'all feeess');
const mergeDataFromCollection =
this.dataofCollection1.map(itm => ({
payment: [this.dataofCollection2.find((item) => (item.RefId === itm.id))],
...itm
}))
console.log(mergeDataFromCollection, 'all data');
},
my solution as below.
Concept: You know user id you want to get information, in your posts list, you can request user document and save it as promise in your post item. after promise resolve then you get user information.
Note: i do not test below code, but it is simplify version of my code.
let posts: Observable<{}[]>; // you can display in HTML directly with | async tag
this.posts = this.listenPosts()
.map( posts => {
posts.forEach( post => {
post.promise = this.getUserDoc( post.uid )
.then( (doc: DocumentSnapshot) => {
post.userName = doc.data().name;
});
}); // end forEach
return posts;
});
// normally, i keep in provider
listenPosts(): Observable<any> {
let fsPath = 'posts';
return this.afDb.collection( fsPath ).valueChanges();
}
// to get the document according the user uid
getUserDoc( uid: string ): Promise<any> {
let fsPath = 'users/' + uid;
return this.afDb.doc( fsPath ).ref.get();
}
Note: afDb: AngularFirestore it is initialize in constructor (by angularFire lib)
If you want to join observables instead of promises, use combineLatest. Here is an example joining a user document to a post document:
getPosts(): Observable<Post[]> {
let data: any;
return this.afs.collection<Post>('posts').valueChanges().pipe(
switchMap((r: any[]) => {
data = r;
const docs = r.map(
(d: any) => this.afs.doc<any>(`users/${d.user}`).valueChanges()
);
return combineLatest(docs).pipe(
map((arr: any) => arr.reduce((acc: any, cur: any) => [acc].concat(cur)))
);
}),
map((d: any) => {
let i = 0;
return d.map(
(doc: any) => {
const t = { ...data[i], user: doc };
++i;
return t;
}
);
})
);
}
This example joins each document in a collection, but you could simplify this if you wanted to just join one single document to another.
This assumes your post document has a user variable with the userId of the document.

I have two service calls that return with an observable list:
service.getAllUsers(): observable<User[]> where User looks like this:
User {
id: number,
username: string,
...
}
and the other service call:
service.getSomeData() : Observable<Data[]>
Data {
userId: number,
userSomeData1,
userSomeData2,
...
}
I want to merge these two lists into one Observable list, based on userId:
Observable<Result[]>
where Result should looks like this:
Result {
id,
username,
userSomeData1,
userSomeData2,
...
}
What I have done so far:
const result$ = this.userService.getAllUsers()
.pipe(switchMap(users => {
return this.userService.getSomeData()
.pipe(map(data => ({users, data})))
}))
But its not what I want.
Please help me, how can I achive this?
This is my solution, make the two api calls, run a map on the array, find the data for the respective user and finally merge using array destructuring!
const result$ = forkJoin([
this.userService.getAllUsers(),
this.userService.getSomeData(),
]).pipe(
map(([users, data]) => {
return users.map(user => {
let clonedData = user;
const foundData = data.find(x => x.userId === user.id);
if (foundData) {
clonedData = { ...clonedData, ...foundData };
}
return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(clonedData));
});
})
);
Your code was very close, you just need to .map() each element in your users array to a new object with the corresponding data item appended:
const result$ = this.userService.getAllUsers().pipe(
switchMap(users => this.userService.getSomeData().pipe(
map(data => users.map(
u => ({...u, ...data.find(d => d.userId === u.id)})
))
})
));

Im trying to figure this out.
I want to get all my users from my database, cache them
and then when making a new request I want to get those that Ive cached + new ones that have been created.
So far:
const batchUsers = async ({ user }) => {
const users = await user.findAll({});
return users;
};
const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({
schema,
playground: true,
context: {
userLoader: new DataLoader(() => batchUsers(db)),// not sending keys since Im after all users
},
});
my resolver:
users: async (obj, args, context, info) => {
return context.userLoader.load();
}
load method requiers a parameter but in this case I dont want to have a specific user I want all of them.
I dont understand how to implement this can someone please explain.
If you're trying to just load all records, then there's not much of a point in utilizing DataLoader to begin in. The purpose behind DataLoader is to batch multiple calls like load(7) and load(22) into a single call that's then executed against your data source. If you need to get all users, then you should just call user.findAll directly.
Also, if you do end up using DataLoader, make sure you pass in a function, not an object as your context. The function will be ran on each request, which will ensure you're using a fresh instance of DataLoader instead of one with a stale cache.
context: () => ({
userLoader: new DataLoader(async (ids) => {
const users = await User.findAll({
where: { id: ids }
})
// Note that we need to map over the original ids instead of
// just returning the results of User.findAll because the
// length of the returned array needs to match the length of the ids
return ids.map(id => users.find(user => user.id === id) || null)
}),
}),
Note that you could also return an instance of an error instead of null inside the array if you want load to reject.
Took me a while but I got this working:
const batchUsers = async (keys, { user }) => {
const users = await user.findAll({
raw: true,
where: {
Id: {
// #ts-ignore
// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef
[op.in]: keys,
},
},
});
const gs = _.groupBy(users, 'Id');
return keys.map(k => gs[k] || []);
};
const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({
schema,
playground: true,
context: () => ({
userLoader: new DataLoader(keys => batchUsers(keys, db)),
}),
});
resolver:
user: {
myUsers: ({ Id }, args, { userLoader }) => {
return userLoader.load(Id);
},
},
playground:
{users
{Id
myUsers
{Id}}
}
playground explained:
users basically fetches all users and then myusers does the same thing by inhereting the id from the first call.
I think I choose a horrible example here since I did not see any gains in performence by this. I did see however that the query turned into:
SELECT ... FROM User WhERE ID IN(...)
The current fonction fetch documents (lobbies) in my Firestore database given name and password properties:
getLobbyByNameAndPassword(name: string, password: string): Observable<Lobby[]> {
const lobbiesRef =
this.afs.collection('lobbies', ref => ref.where('name', '==', name)).snapshotChanges().pipe(
map(actions => {
return actions.map(a => {
const data = a.payload.doc.data() as Lobby;
const id = a.payload.doc.id;
return { id, ...data };
});
}));
return lobbiesRef.pipe(
map((res) => {
return res.filter(item => item.password === password);
})
);
}
I'm using snapshotChanges() to extract the id of the documents as explained in the official git repo here. But I added pipe function because I guess it is required now with the newer version of RxJS. Then I just implement another pipe to filter the results.
The problem is when I subscribe to this Observable, it is called multiple times, non stop.
Any idea why?
