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. These queries can also be used with either get() or addSnapshotListener(), as described in Get Data and Get Realtime Updates.

Example data

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

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"] });
citiesRef.doc("BJ").set({
    name: "Beijing", state: null, country: "China",
    capital: true, population: 21500000,
    regions: ["jingjinji", "hebei"] });

The where() method takes three parameters: a field to filter on, a comparison operation, and a value. The comparison can be <, <=, ==, >, >=, or array_contains. For iOS, Android, and Java, the comparison operator is explicitly named in the method.

Some example filters:

citiesRef.where("state", "==", "CA")
citiesRef.where("population", "<", 100000)
citiesRef.where("name", ">=", "San Francisco")
test.firestore.js

citiesRef.whereField("state", isEqualTo: "CA")
citiesRef.whereField("population", isLessThan: 100000)
citiesRef.whereField("name", isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: "San Francisco")
ViewController.swift

[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" isEqualTo:@"CA"];
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"population" isLessThan:@100000];
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"name" isGreaterThanOrEqualTo:@"San Francisco"];

query_data.rb

Array membership

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

citiesRef.where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast")
test.firestore.js

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

[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" arrayContains:@"west_coast"];
ViewController.m
  

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

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");
DocSnippets.java

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

// Not supported yet

var westCoastCities = citiesRef.where('regions', 'array-contains',
  'west_coast');
index.js

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

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

Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContains("Regions", "west_coast");
Program.cs

// Not supported yet

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.

Compound queries

You can also chain multiple where() methods to create more specific queries (logical AND). However, to combine the equality operator (==) with a range or array-contains clause (<, <=, >, >=, or array_contains), make sure to create a composite index.

citiesRef.where("state", "==", "CO").where("name", "==", "Denver")
citiesRef.where("state", "==", "CA").where("population", "<", 1000000)
test.firestore.js

citiesRef
    .whereField("state", isEqualTo: "CO")
    .whereField("name", isEqualTo: "Denver")
citiesRef
    .whereField("state", isEqualTo: "CA")
    .whereField("population", isLessThan: 1000000)
ViewController.swift

[[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" isEqualTo:@"CO"]
    queryWhereField:@"name" isGreaterThanOrEqualTo:@"Denver"];
[[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" isEqualTo:@"CA"]
    queryWhereField:@"population" isLessThan:@1000000];
ViewController.m
  

citiesRef.whereEqualTo("state", "CO").whereEqualTo("name", "Denver");
citiesRef.whereEqualTo("state", "CA").whereLessThan("population", 1000000);

You can only perform range comparisons (<, <=, >, >=) on a single field, and you can include at most one array_contains clause in a compound query:

Valid: Range filters on only one field

citiesRef.where("state", "==", "CA").where("population", ">", 1000000)

Query limitations

Cloud Firestore does not support the following types of queries:

• Queries with range filters on different fields, as described in the previous section.
• Single queries across multiple collections or subcollections. Each query runs against a single collection of documents. For more information about how your data structure affects your queries, see Choose a Data Structure.
• Logical OR queries. In this case, you should create a separate query for each OR condition and merge the query results in your app.
• Queries with a != clause. In this case, you should split the query into a greater-than query and a less-than query. For example, although the query clause where("age", "!=", "30") is not supported, you can get the same result set by combining two queries, one with the clause where("age", "<", "30") and one with the clause where("age", ">", 30).
