How to check if a document contains a property in Cloud Firestore?

Question

I want to know if there is a way to check if a property is present in a Cloud Firestore document. Something like document.contains("property_name") or if there is a document property exist.

Answer 1

To solve this, you can simply check the DocumentSnapshot object for nullity like this:

var yourRef = db.collection('yourCollection').doc('yourDocument');
var getDoc = yourRef.get()
    .then(doc => {
      if (!doc.exists) {
        console.log('No such document!');
      } else {
        if(doc.get('yourPropertyName') != null) {
          console.log('Document data:', doc.data());
        } else {
          console.log('yourPropertyName does not exist!');
        }
      }
    })
    .catch(err => {
      console.log('Error getting document', err);
    });

I think you refer to making a query. Still there is no way to check if some field is present or not in the Firestore. But you can add another field with value true/false

val query = refUsersCollection
        .whereEqualTo("hasLocation", true)
query.get().addOnSuccessListener { 
      // use the result
  }
