Perform simple and compound queries in Cloud Firestore

Cloud Firestore provides powerful query functionality for specifying which documents you want to retrieve from a collection or collection group. These queries can also be used with either get() or addSnapshotListener(), as described in Get Data and Get Realtime Updates.

Note: While the code samples cover multiple languages, the text explaining the samples refers to the Web method names.

Example data

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

Query operators

The where() method takes three parameters: a field to filter on, a comparison operator, and a value. Cloud Firestore supports the following comparison operators:

• < less than
• <= less than or equal to
• == equal to
• > greater than
• >= greater than or equal to
• != not equal to
• array-contains
• array-contains-any
• in
• not-in

Note: For Apple, Android, and Java, the comparison operator is explicitly named in the method.

For example:

Use the not equal (!=) operator to return documents where the given field exists and does not match the comparison value. For example:

query = cities_ref.where "capital", "!=", false
query_data.rb

This query returns every city document where the capital field exists with a value other than false or null. This includes city documents where the capital field value equals true or any non-boolean value besides null.

This query does not return city documents where the capital field does not exist. Not-equal (!=) and not-in queries exclude documents where the given field does not exist.

A field exists when it's set to any value, including an empty string (""), null, and NaN (not a number). Note that null field values do not match != clauses, because x != null evaluates to undefined.

Warning: A != query clause might match many documents in a collection. To control the number of results returned, use a limit clause or paginate your query.

Limitations

Note the following limitations for != queries:

• Only documents where the given field exists can match the query.
• You can't combine not-in and != in a compound query.
• In a compound query, range (<, <=, >, >=) and not equals (!=, not-in) comparisons must all filter on the same field.

Array membership

You can use the array-contains operator to filter based on array values. For example:

Program.cs

Ruby

cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
cities = cities_ref.where "regions", "array-contains", "west_coast"
query_data.rb

This query returns every city document where the regions field is an array that contains west_coast. If the array has multiple instances of the value you query on, the document is included in the results only once.

You can use at most one array-contains clause per query. You can't combine array-contains with array-contains-any.

in, not-in, and array-contains-any

Use the in operator to combine up to 10 equality (==) clauses on the same field with a logical OR. An in query returns documents where the given field matches any of the comparison values. For example:

This query returns every city document where the country field exists and is not set to USA, Japan, or null. From the example data, this includes the London and Hong Kong documents.

not-in queries exclude documents where the given field does not exist. A field exists when it's set to any value, including an empty string (""), null, and NaN (not a number). Note that x != null evaluates to undefined. A not-in query with null as one of the comparison values does not match any documents.

Warning: A not-in query clause might match many documents in a collection. To control the number of results returned, use a limit clause or paginate your query.

array-contains-any

Use the array-contains-any operator to combine up to 10 array-contains clauses on the same field with a logical OR. An array-contains-any query returns documents where the given field is an array that contains one or more of the comparison values:

query_data.rb

This query returns every city document where the regions field is an array that contains west_coast or east_coast. From the example data, this includes the SF, LA, and DC documents.

Results from array-contains-any are de-duped. Even if a document's array field matches more than one of the comparison values, the result set includes that document only once.

array-contains-any always filters by the array data type. For example, the query above would not return a city document where instead of an array, the regions field is the string west_coast.

You can use an array value as a comparison value for in, but unlike array-contains-any, the clause matches for an exact match of array length, order, and values. For example:

query_data.rb

This query returns every city document where the regions field is an array that contains exactly one element of either west_coast or east_coast. From the example data, only the DC document qualifies with its regions field of ["east_coast"]. The SF document, however, does not match because its regions field is ["west_coast", "norcal"].

Limitations

Note the following limitations for in, not-in, and array-contains-any:

• in, not-in, and array-contains-any support up to 10 comparison values.
• You can use at most one array-contains clause per query. You can't combine array-contains with array-contains-any.
• You can use at most one in, not-in, or array-contains-any clause per query. You can't combine these operators in the same query.
• You can't combine not-in with not equals !=.
• You can't order your query by a field included in an equality (==) or in clause.

Compound queries

You can chain multiple equality operators (== or array-contains) methods to create more specific queries (logical AND). However, you must create a composite index to combine equality operators with the inequality operators, <, <=, >, and !=.

Collection group queries

A collection group consists of all collections with the same ID. By default, queries retrieve results from a single collection in your database. Use a collection group query to retrieve documents from a collection group instead of from a single collection.

For example, you can create a landmarks collection group by adding a landmarks subcollection to each city:

query_data.rb

We can use the simple and compound query described earlier to query a single city's landmarks subcollection, but you might also want to retrieve results from every city's landmarks subcollection at once.

The landmarks collection group consists of all collections with the ID landmarks, and you can query it using a collection group query. For example, this collection group query retrieves all museum landmarks across all cities:

Before using a collection group query, you must create an index that supports your collection group query. You can create an index through an error message, the console, or the Firebase CLI.

For the web and mobile SDKs, you must also create rules that allow your collection group queries.

Query limitations

The following list summarizes Cloud Firestore query limitations:

• Cloud Firestore provides limited support for logical OR queries. The in, and array-contains-any operators support a logical OR of up to 10 equality (==) or array-contains conditions on a single field. For other cases, create a separate query for each OR condition and merge the query results in your app.
• In a compound query, range (<, <=, >, >=) and not equals (!=, not-in) comparisons must all filter on the same field.
• You can use at most one array-contains clause per query. You can't combine array-contains with array-contains-any.
• You can use at most one in, not-in, or array-contains-any clause per query. You can't combine in , not-in, and array-contains-any in the same query.
• You can't order your query by a field included in an equality (==) or in clause.
• The sum of filters, sort orders, and parent document path (1 for a subcollection, 0 for a root collection) in a query cannot exceed 100.

• Save reads when you simply want to count results.
