Conditional where clause in firestore queries












1















I have fetch some data from firestore but in my query I want to add a conditional where clause. I am using async-await for api and not sure how to add a consitional where clause.



Here is my function



export async function getMyPosts (type) {
await api
var myPosts =

const posts = await api.firestore().collection('posts').where('status', '==', 'published')
.get()
.then(snapshot => {
snapshot.forEach(doc => {
console.log(doc.data())
})
})
.catch(catchError)
}


In my main function I am getting a param called 'type'. Based on the value of that param I want to add another qhere clause to the above query. For example, if type = 'nocomments', then I want to add a where clause .where('commentCount', '==', 0), otherwise if type = 'nocategories', then the where clause will be querying another property like .where('tags', '==', 'none')



I am unable to understand how to add this conditional where clause.



NOTE: in firestore you add multiple conditions by just appending your where clauses like - .where("state", "==", "CA").where("population", ">", 1000000) and so on.

          Add the where clause to the query only when needed:



          export async function getMyPosts (type) {
          await api
          var myPosts =

          var query = api.firestore().collection('posts')
          if (your_condition_is_true) { // you decide
          query = query.where('status', '==', 'published')
          }
          const questions = await query.get()
          .then(snapshot => {
          snapshot.forEach(doc => {
          console.log(doc.data())
          })
          })
          .catch(catchError)
          }
