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](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/get-data) and [Get Realtime Updates](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/listen).

## Example data

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

### Web

```javascript
import { collection, doc, setDoc } from "firebase/firestore"; 

const citiesRef = collection(db, "cities");

await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "SF"), {
    name: "San Francisco", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 860000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "norcal"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "LA"), {
    name: "Los Angeles", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 3900000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "socal"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "DC"), {
    name: "Washington, D.C.", state: null, country: "USA",
    capital: true, population: 680000,
    regions: ["east_coast"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "TOK"), {
    name: "Tokyo", state: null, country: "Japan",
    capital: true, population: 9000000,
    regions: ["kanto", "honshu"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "BJ"), {
    name: "Beijing", state: null, country: "China",
    capital: true, population: 21500000,
    regions: ["jingjinji", "hebei"] });
```

### Web

```javascript
var citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.doc("SF").set({
    name: "San Francisco", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 860000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "norcal"] });
citiesRef.doc("LA").set({
    name: "Los Angeles", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 3900000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "socal"] });
citiesRef.doc("DC").set({
    name: "Washington, D.C.", state: null, country: "USA",
    capital: true, population: 680000,
    regions: ["east_coast"] });
citiesRef.doc("TOK").set({
    name: "Tokyo", state: null, country: "Japan",
    capital: true, population: 9000000,
    regions: ["kanto", "honshu"] });

listen for future updates.

## Query operators

The `where()` method takes three parameters: a field to filter on, a comparison
operator, and a value. Core operations support the following comparison
operators:

- `<` less than
- `<=` less than or equal to
- `==` equal to
- `>` greater than
- `>=` greater than or equal to
- [`!=` not equal to](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#not_equal)
- [`array-contains`](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#array_membership)
- [`array-contains-any`](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#in_and_array-contains-any)
- [`in`](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#in_and_array-contains-any)
- [`not-in`](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#in_and_array-contains-any)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** For Apple, Android, and Java, the comparison operator is explicitly named in the method.

For example:

### Web

population_query = cities_ref.where "population", ">", 1_000_000
name_query       = cities_ref.where "name", ">=", "San Francisco"
```

### Not equal (`!=`)

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

### Web

```javascript
const notCapitalQuery = query(citiesRef, where("capital", "!=", false));
```

### Web

```

##### C#

```c#
// Snippet not yet available
```

##### Ruby

```ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
query = cities_ref.where "capital", "!=", false
```

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]
> **Warning:** A `!=` query clause might match many documents in a collection. To control the number of results returned, use a [limit clause](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/order-limit-data) or [paginate your query](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-cursors#paginate_a_query).

#### Standard edition limitations

Note the following limitations for `!=` queries. These limitations apply
only to Standard edition:

- Only documents where the given field exists can match the query.
- You can't combine `not-in` and `!=` in a compound query.

### Array membership

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

### Web

```javascript
import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";  
const q = query(citiesRef, where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast"));
```

### Web

> [!NOTE]

```javascript
citiesRef.where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast");
```

##### Swift

**Note:** This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.

```swift
citiesRef
  .whereField("regions", arrayContains: "west_coast")
```

##### Objective-C

**Note:** This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.

```objective-c
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" arrayContains:@"west_coast"];
```

### Kotlin

```kotlin
val citiesRef = db.collection("cities")

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast")
```

### Java

```java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");
```

### Dart

```dart
final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final westCoastcities =
    citiesRef.where("regions", arrayContains: "west_coast");
```

##### Java

```java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
Query westCoastQuery = citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");
```

##### Python

```python
cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

query = cities_ref.where(
    filter=FieldFilter("regions", "array_contains", "west_coast")
)
```

### Python

```python
cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

query = cities_ref.where(

)
```

##### C++

```c++
CollectionReference cities_ref = db->Collection("cities");

cities_ref.WhereArrayContains("region", FieldValue::String("west_coast"));
```

##### Node.js

```javascript
const westCoastCities = citiesRef.where('regions', 'array-contains',
  'west_coast').get();
```

##### Go

```go
query := cities.Where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast").Documents(ctx)
```

##### PHP

```php
$containsQuery = $citiesRef->where('regions', 'array-contains', 'west_coast');
```

##### Unity

```c#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query arrayContainsQuery = citiesRef.WhereArrayContains("region", "west_coast");
```

##### C#

```c#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContains("Regions", "west_coast");
```

##### Ruby

```ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
cities = cities_ref.where "regions", "array-contains", "west_coast"
```

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 disjunction (`or` group).
You can't combine `array-contains` with `array-contains-any` in the same
disjunction.

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

Use the `in` operator to combine [up to 30](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#in_not-in_array-contains-any_limits)
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:

### Web

```javascript
import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";

const q = query(citiesRef, where('country', 'in', ['USA', 'Japan']));
```

### Web

```

##### C#

```c#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereIn("Country", new[] { "USA", "Japan" });
```

##### Ruby

```ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
usr_or_japan = cities_ref.where "country", "in", ["USA", "Japan"]
```

This query returns every `city` document where the `country` field is set
to `USA` or `Japan`. From the example data, this includes
the `SF`, `LA`, `DC`, and `TOK` documents.

#### `not-in`

Use the `not-in` operator to combine up to 10 not equal (`!=`) clauses on the
same field with a logical `AND`. A `not-in` query returns documents where the
given field exists, is not `null`, and does not match any of the
comparison values. For example:

### Web

```javascript
import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";

const q = query(citiesRef, where('country', 'not-in', ['USA', 'Japan']));
```

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]

#### `array-contains-any`

Use the `array-contains-any` operator to combine [up to 30](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#in_not-in_array-contains-any_limits)
`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:

### Web

                         {
                            new List<object>(){"west_coast"},

```

##### C#

```c#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContainsAny("Regions", new[] { "west_coast", "east_coast" });
```

##### Ruby

```ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
costal_cities = cities_ref.where "regions", "array-contains-any", ["west_coast", "east_coast"]
```

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:

```

##### Ruby

```ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
exactly_one_cost = cities_ref.where "regions", "in", [["west_coast"], ["east_coast"]]
```

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"]`.

#### Standard edition limitations

Note the following limitations for `in`, `not-in`, and `array-contains-any`.
These limitations apply only to Standard edition:

- Cloud Firestore provides support for logical `OR` queries through the `or`, `in`, and `array-contains-any` operators. These queries are limited to [30 disjunctions based on the query's disjunctive normal form](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#limits_on_or_queries). This limit is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
- You can use at most one `array-contains` clause per disjunction (`or` group). You can't combine `array-contains` with `array-contains-any` in the same disjunction.
- You can't combine `not-in` with not equals `!=`.
- `not-in` supports up to 10 comparison values.

## Compound (`AND`) queries

You can combine constraints with a logical `AND` by chaining multiple equality
operators (`==` or `array-contains`). However, you must create a
[composite index](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/indexing.md.txt) to combine equality operators with the inequality
operators, `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `!=`.

## `OR` queries

You can combine constraints with a logical `OR`. For example:

### Web

```
const q = query(citiesRef,
  or(where('capital', '==', true),
     where('population', '>=', 1000000)
  )
);
  
```

            ]))
  
```

##### Objective-C

Cloud Firestore uses your composite indexes to serve `OR` queries. If
your indexes do not support the query, Cloud Firestore
[suggests additional indexes for your database](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/indexing.md.txt#create_a_missing_index_through_an_error_message).

You can combine `OR` queries with compound queries to filter on combinations
of `OR` and `AND` operations. For example:

### Web

```javascript
const q = query(collection(db, "cities"), and(
  where('state', '==', 'CA'),   
  or(
    where('capital', '==', true),
    where('population', '>=', 1000000)
  )
));
```

### Standard edition limitations

Note the following limitations for `or` queries. These limitations apply
only to Standard edition:

- Cloud Firestore limits a query to a [maximum of 30 disjunctions based on the query's disjunctive normal form](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#limits_on_or_queries). This limit is fixed
  and cannot be adjusted.
  You are more likely to reach this limit when performing an `AND`
  of multiple `OR` groups.

- You can't combine `not-in` with `in`, `array-contains-any`, or `or` in the
  same query.

For a full description of limitations, see [Query limitations](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#standard_edition_query_limitations).

## 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:

### Web

```javascript
import { collection, addDoc } from "firebase/firestore";  

const citiesRef = collection(db, 'cities');

await Promise.all([
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'SF', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Golden Gate Bridge',
        type: 'bridge'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'SF', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Legion of Honor',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'LA', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Griffith Park',
        type: 'park'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'LA', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'The Getty',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'DC', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Lincoln Memorial',
        type: 'memorial'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'DC', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'National Air and Space Museum',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'TOK', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Ueno Park',
        type: 'park'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'TOK', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'National Museum of Nature and Science',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'BJ', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Jingshan Park',
        type: 'park'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'BJ', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Beijing Ancient Observatory',
        type: 'museum'
    })
]);
```

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:

### Web

```javascript
import { collectionGroup, query, where, getDocs } from "firebase/firestore";  

const museums = query(collectionGroup(db, 'landmarks'), where('type', '==', 'museum'));
const querySnapshot = await getDocs(museums);
querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
    console.log(doc.id, ' => ', doc.data());
});
```

museums.get().then((querySnapshot) => {
    querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
        console.log(doc.id, ' => ', doc.data());

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](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/indexing.md.txt).

For the web and mobile SDKs, you must also [create rules that allow your
collection group queries](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/security/rules-query#secure_and_query_documents_based_on_collection_groups).

## Explain your query performance

Cloud Firestore allows you to measure performance of your queries on the
backend and receive detailed performance statistics on backend query execution
in return.

Query Explain results help you understand how your queries are executed, showing
you inefficiencies and the location of likely server-side bottlenecks.

For more information, see the [guide for Query Explain](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-explain.md.txt).

## Standard edition query limitations

The following list summarizes Cloud Firestore query limitations.
These limitations apply only to Standard edition:

- Cloud Firestore provides support for logical `OR` queries through the `or`, `in`, and `array-contains-any` operators. These queries are limited to [30 disjunctions based on the query's disjunctive normal form](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#limits_on_or_queries). This limit is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
- You can use at most one `array-contains` clause per disjunction (`or` group). You can't combine `array-contains` with `array-contains-any` in the same disjunction.
- You can't combine `not-in` with `in`, `array-contains-any`, or `or` in the same query.
- Only a single `not-in` or `!=` is allowed per query.
- `not-in` supports up to 10 comparison values.
- 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. This is calculated based on the [disjunctive normal form of the query](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#disjunctive_normal_form).
- A query with an inequality filter on a field implies ordering by that field and [filters for existence of that field](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/enterprise/query-data-core.md.txt#orderby_and_existence).

### Limits on `OR` queries

To prevent a query from becoming too computationally expensive,
Cloud Firestore Standard edition limits how many `AND` and `OR` clauses you can combine.
To apply this limit, Cloud Firestore converts queries that perform
logical `OR` operations (`or`, `in`, and `array-contains-any`) to
[disjunctive normal form](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_normal_form)
(also known as an `OR` of `AND`s). **Cloud Firestore limits a query to a
maximum of 30 disjunctions in disjunctive normal form.**
This limit is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

#### Disjunctive normal form

Cloud Firestore converts queries to disjunctive normal form
by applying two rules:

- ***Flatten***

  Given conditions `A`, `B`, and `C`:

  `A and (B and C) => A and B and C`
- [***Distributive Law***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributive_property)

  Given conditions `A`, `B`, `C`, and `D`:
  - `A and (B or C) => (A and B) or (A and C)`
  - `(A or B) and (C or D) => (A and C) or (A and D) or (B and C) or (B and D)`

When applying these rules to `in` and `array-contains-any` queries, remember
that these operators are shorthands for `OR`. For example, `a in [1,2]` is
shorthand for `a = 1 OR a = 2`.

> [!WARNING]
> **Warning:** Due to the multiplicative nature of conversions to disjunctive normal form, you are more likely to reach the limit when performing an `AND` of multiple `OR` groups.

The following examples show the number of disjunctions for different queries:

| Query | Number of disjunctions |
|---|---|
| ``` query(collectionRef, where("a", "==", 1)) ``` | 1 |
| ``` query(collectionRef, or( where("a", "==", 1), where("b", "==", 2) )) ``` | 2 |
| ``` query(collectionRef, or( and( where("a", "==", 1), where("c", "==", 3) ), and( where("a", "==", 1), where("d", "==", 4) ), and( where("b", "==", 2), where("c", "==", 3) ), and( where("b", "==", 2), where("d", "==", 4) ) ) ) ``` | 4 |
| ``` query(collectionRef, and( or( where("a", "==", 1), where("b", "==", 2) ), or( where("c", "==", 3), where("d", "==", 4) ) ) ) ``` | 4 The disjunctive normal form of this query is equal to the query above. |
| ``` query(collectionRef, where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]) ) ``` | 10 |
| ``` query(collectionRef, and( where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), where("b", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]) ) ) ``` | 50 This query returns an error, because it surpasses the limit of 30 disjunctions. |
| ``` query(collectionRef, or( where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]), where("b", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]) ) ) ``` | 20 |
| ``` query(collectionRef, and( where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), or( where("b", "==", 2), where("c", "==", 3) ) ) ) ``` | 10 |

## `orderBy` and existence

When you order a query by a given field, the query can return only the
documents where the order-by field exists.

For example, the following query would not return any documents where the
`population` field is not set, even if they otherwise meet the query filters.

##### Java

```java
db.collection("cities").whereEqualTo("country", "USA").orderBy("population");
```

A related effect applies to inequalities. A query with an inequality filter
on a field also implies ordering by that field. The following
query does not return documents without a `population` field even
if `country = USA` in that document . As a workaround, you can execute
separate queries for each ordering or you can assign a value for all fields
that you order by.

##### Java

```java
db.collection("cities").where(or("country", USA"), greaterThan("population", 250000));
```

The query above includes an implied order-by on the inequality and is
equivalent to the following:

##### Java

```java
db.collection("cities").where(or("country", USA"), greaterThan("population", 250000)).orderBy("population");
```
