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.

Example data

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

Web
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"] });

Execute a query

        });
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.log("Error getting documents: ", error);
    });
test.firestore.js
Swift
db.collection("cities").whereField("capital", isEqualTo: true)
    .getDocuments() { (querySnapshot, err) in

See Get Data for more information on retrieving query results. You can also add a listener to a query to get the current results and listen for future updates.

Query operators

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:

Web
citiesRef.where("state", "==", "CA")
citiesRef.where("population", "<", 100000)
citiesRef.where("name", ">=", "San Francisco")
test.firestore.js
Swift
citiesRef.whereField("state", isEqualTo: "CA")
citiesRef.whereField("population", isLessThan: 100000)
citiesRef.whereField("name", isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: "San Francisco")
ViewController.swift
Objective-C
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" isEqualTo:@"CA"];
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"population" isLessThan:@100000];
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"name" isGreaterThanOrEqualTo:@"San Francisco"];
ViewController.m
Java
citiesRef.whereEqualTo("state", "CA");
citiesRef.whereLessThan("population", 100000);
citiesRef.whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name", "San Francisco");
DocSnippets.java
Kotlin
citiesRef.whereEqualTo("state", "CA")
citiesRef.whereLessThan("population", 100000)
citiesRef.whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name", "San Francisco")
DocSnippets.kt
Java
Query stateQuery = cities.whereEqualTo("state", "CA");
Query populationQuery = cities.whereLessThan("population", 1000000L);
Query nameQuery = cities.whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name", "San Francisco");
QueryDataSnippets.java
Python
cities_ref = db.collection(u'cities')

cities_ref.where(u'state', u'==', u'CA')
cities_ref.where(u'population', u'<', 1000000)
cities_ref.where(u'name', u'>=', u'San Francisco')
snippets.py
Node.js

$populationQuery = $citiesRef->where('population', '>', 1000000);

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

Array membership

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

Web
citiesRef.where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast")
test.firestore.js
Swift
citiesRef
  .whereField("regions", arrayContains: "west_coast")
ViewController.swift
Objective-C
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" arrayContains:@"west_coast"];
ViewController.m
Java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");
DocSnippets.java
Kotlin
val citiesRef = db.collection("cities")

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast")
DocSnippets.kt
Java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
Query westCoastQuery = citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");
QueryDataSnippets.java
Python
cities_ref = db.collection(u'cities')

query = cities_ref.where(u'regions', u'array_contains', u'west_coast')
snippets.py
Node.js
let westCoastCities = citiesRef.where('regions', 'array-contains',
  'west_coast');
index.js
Go
query := cities.Where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast").Documents(ctx)
query.go
PHP
$containsQuery = $citiesRef->where('regions', 'array-contains', 'west_coast');
array_membership.php
C#
Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContains("Regions", "west_coast");
Program.cs
Ruby
// 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.

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

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
var citiesRef = db.collection('cities');

var landmarks = Promise.all([
    citiesRef.doc('SF').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'Golden Gate Bridge',
        type: 'bridge'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('SF').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'Legion of Honor',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('LA').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'Griffith Park',
        type: 'park'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('LA').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'The Getty',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('DC').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'Lincoln Memorial',
        type: 'memorial'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('DC').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'National Air and Space Museum',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('TOK').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'Ueno Park',
        type: 'park'
    }),
    citiesRef.doc('TOK').collection('landmarks').doc().set({
        name: 'National Museum of Nature and Science',
        type: 'museum'

    citiesRef.doc('BJ').collection('landmarks').doc().set({

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
var museums = db.collectionGroup('landmarks').where('type', '==', 'museum');
museums.get().then(function (querySnapshot) {
    querySnapshot.forEach(function (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.

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

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.
  • 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).
