Query

public class Query extends Object
Known Direct Subclasses

A Query which you can read or listen to. You can also construct refined Query objects by adding filters and ordering.

Subclassing Note: Firestore classes are not meant to be subclassed except for use in test mocks. Subclassing is not supported in production code and new SDK releases may break code that does so.
