Firestore collection query as stream in flutter

Question

I'm trying to query a few documents from a collection, this query should listen to changes made in the queried documents, so I'd need a stream. I'm doing following (in Dart/Flutter)

  Stream<List<MatchRequest>> _getNewMatches() {
    return Collection<MatchRequest>(path: 'requests')
        .ref
        .where('status', isNull: true)
        .where('users', arrayContains: ['$currentUid'])
        .orderBy('last_activity')
        .snapshots()
        .map((list) => list.documents.map(
            (doc) => Global.models[MatchRequest](doc.data) as MatchRequest));
  }

(The object Collection sets the path to the ref in it's constructor, eg: ref = db.collection($path) and the map makes a model of the results)

Then I'm using a StreamBuilder with stream invoking the method above and builder checking if snapshot.hasData. But it keeps loading, snapshot.hasData keeps being false. What am I doing wrong here?

EDIT:

1. My firestore security rules contain:

   match /requests/{requestId} {
       allow read: if isLoggedIn();
       allow write: if isLoggedIn();
   }
   

2. When removing every where and orderBy, it doesn't find anything as well. And there are documents present in the requests-collection

3. When trying to query only 1 document as a stream from the requests-collection, he does find the result

4. Is it because I should add indexes to my firestore indexes? But this won't solve my first problem which is that even without where and orderBy, it doesn't get any data

I've written a simple example of it seems to be like what you are trying to do but are missing the listen() method:

Firestore.instance.collection('collection')
  .where('field', isEqualTo: 'value')
  .orderBy('field')
  .snapshots()
  .listen((QuerySnapshot querySnapshot){
    querySnapshot.documents.forEach((document) => print(document));
  }
);

This is just an example of how you can take the data from a Firestore Stream and use it on a StreamBuilder:

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  Stream dataList;

  @override
  void initState() {
    dataList = Firestore.instance.collection('collection')
      .where('field', isEqualTo: 'value')
      .orderBy('field')
      .snapshots();

    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: StreamBuilder(
          stream: dataList,
          builder: (context, asyncSnapshot) {
            if(asyncSnapshot.hasError)
              return Text('Error: ${asyncSnapshot.error}');

            switch (asyncSnapshot.connectionState) {
              case ConnectionState.none: return Text('No data');
              case ConnectionState.waiting: return Text('Awaiting...');
              case ConnectionState.active:
                return ListView(
                  children: asyncSnapshot.data.map((document) => Text(document['value'])),
                );
              break;
              case ConnectionState.done: return ListView(
                children: asyncSnapshot.data.map((document) => Text(document['value'])),
              );
              break;
            }
            return null;
        }),
      ),
    );
  }

}
