Google Firestore - how to get document by multiple ids in one round trip?

Question

I am wondering if it\'s possible to get multiple documents by list of ids in one round trip (network call) to the Firestore.

Answer 1

You could use a function like this:

function getById (path, ids) {
  return firestore.getAll(
    [].concat(ids).map(id => firestore.doc(`${path}/${id}`))
  )
}

It can be called with a single ID:

getById('collection', 'some_id')

or an array of IDs:

getById('collection', ['some_id', 'some_other_id'])
