Conditional where clause in firestore queries

Question

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 cl

Answer 1

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)
}
