How to assign objects to an array - reactjs

I am querying data from firebase, I then want to assign the fetch data to be an array
This is my code
let list = [];
dispatch(fetchUsersPending());
db.collection("users").get().then((querySnapshot) => {
querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
list.push({...doc.data()});
console.log('All Users: ', list);
dispatch(fetchUsersSuccess(list));
});
}).catch((error) => {
var errorMessage = error.message;
console.log('Error fetching data', errorMessage);
dispatch(fetchUsersFailed({ errorMessage }));
});;
But in my console am getting an error showing Error fetching data Cannot add property 1, object is not extensible in react firebase

I think your current approach also causes to many unnecessary dispatches to the store. With the following solution you only map your array to documents once and then dispatch them all at once.
With async/await
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
dispatch(fetchUsersPending());
const users = (await db.collection('users').get()).docs.map((doc) => ({ ...doc.data()}));
dispatch(fetchUsersSuccess(users));
} catch (errorMessage) {
dispatch(fetchUsersFailed({ errorMessage }));
}
}
With .then()
const fetchData = () => {
dispatch(fetchUsersPending());
const users = db.collection('users').get().then((snapshot) => {
const users = snapshot.docs.map((doc) => ({ ...doc.data() }));
dispatch(fetchUsersSuccess(users));
}).catch((errorMessage) {
dispatch(fetchUsersFailed({ errorMessage }));
});
}

Preventing a Redux dispatch if an updateDoc() fails in Firebase?

I want to be able to make a dispatch only if a document in Firebase gets updated, I have two categorised error at hand, a Firebase error, and no connection error, in other words, how to know for sure that the updateDoc() has passed so I can make the dispatch to change the current state according to that update. If not, of course show an error on the UI, the issue here is I am passing the dispatch after the await function. If I were using mongo I would handle this in the response.
const handelColor = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLInputElement>): void => {
const updateData = async () => {
const docRefCol = doc(db, 'collection', currentUser.uid);
throw 'simulated no premission error';
await updateDoc(docRefCol, { customColor: 'red' });
};
throw 'simulated no connection error';
updateData().catch((error) => {
const errorCode = error.code;
alert(errorCode);
});
throw 'simulated faild updated data erorr';
alert('dispatch to local state');
//dispatch(addColor({ select: 'customColor', value: colors[e.currentTarget.value] }));
};
I did come up with the following solution but still I think I still can do better.
const updateData = async () => {
if (!window.navigator.onLine) {
throw { code: 'Please check your connection' };
}
const docRefCol = doc(db, 'collection', currentUser.uid);
await await updateDoc(docRefCol, { customColor: 'red' });
dispatch(addColor({ select: 'customColor', value: colors[e.currentTarget.value] }));
};
updateData().catch((error) => {
const errorCode = error.code;
alert(errorCode);
});
You can try to follow this code (untested) to avoid redundancy in calling your updateData:
const updateData = async () => {
if (!window.navigator.onLine) {
throw { code: 'Please check your connection' };
}
const docRefCol = doc(db, 'collection', currentUser.uid);
await updateDoc(docRefCol, { customColor: 'red' })
.then(() => {
dispatch(addColor({ select: 'customColor', value: colors[e.currentTarget.value] }));
})
.catch((error) => {
alert(error);
});
};

Getting UNDEFINED values from Firestore onSnapshot + Promises for my React State

I'm trying to make a Tweets Application with React and Firebase and I have been suffering when trying to get info from more than 1 collection.
So this is the story:
I get the tweets using onSnapshot. All fine here
I need more info from 2 other collections: user_preferences and user_photo, so I use .get() within the onSnapshot
For managing asynchronism, I resolve my 2 promises before returning the tweet data + details data object for my map function.
I made a console.log of my mappedTweet and the values are OKEY. Here I can see the tweet data + details data
But my STATE "tweets" just have an array of undefined objects =(. It shows the right number of rows accoroding to my Tweets collection but rows of undefined data, and not the rows of my mappedTweets objects. Why?
Can anyone shed some light?
useEffect(() => {
//------------getting the TWEETS with onSnapshot()-------------
const cancelSuscription = firestore
.collection('tweets')
.onSnapshot((snapshot) => {
const promises = [];
const tweetsMapped = snapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
let tweetAndAuthor;
const tweetMappped = {
text: doc.data().text,
likes: doc.data().likes,
email: doc.data().email,
created: doc.data().created,
uid: doc.data().uid,
id: doc.id,
};
let authorPreference, authorPhoto;
const userPreferencePromise = firestore
.collection('user_preferences')
.where('uid', '==', tweetMappped.uid)
.get();
const userPhotoPromise = firestore
.collection('user_photos')
.where('id', '==', tweetMappped.uid)
.get();
promises.push(userPreferencePromise);
promises.push(userPhotoPromise);
//------------getting the AUTHOR USER PREFERENCES with .get()-------------
userPreferencePromise.then((snapshot2) => {
authorPreference = snapshot2.docs.map((doc) => {
return {
username: doc.data().username,
color: doc.data().color,
};
});
});
//------------getting the AUTHOR PHOTO with .get()-------------
userPhotoPromise.then((snapshot3) => {
authorPhoto = snapshot3.docs.map((doc) => {
return {
photoURL: doc.data().photoURL,
};
});
});
Promise.all(promises).then((x) => {
return {
...tweetMappped,
author: authorPreference[0].username,
authorColor: authorPreference[0].color,
authorPhoto: authorPhoto[0].photoURL,
};
});
});
Promise.all(promises).then((x) => {
setTweets(tweetsMapped);
});
});
return () => cancelSuscription();
}, []);
Well, I made it work by changing the model I was using to retrieve the data from Firebase.
I was using an outer onSnapshot with nested promises (I think I was very near here), but now I'm using nested onSnapshots and now app is behaving as expected.
So this is the new useEffect
useEffect(() => {
let cancelUserPrefSuscription, cancelUserPhotoSuscription;
// First onSnapshot
const cancelTweetSuscription = firestore
.collection('tweets')
.onSnapshot((tweetSnapshot) => {
const list = [];
tweetSnapshot.docs.forEach((tweetDoc) => {
//Second onSnapshot
cancelUserPrefSuscription = firestore
.collection('user_preferences')
.where('uid', '==', tweetDoc.data().uid)
.onSnapshot((userPrefSnapshot) => {
userPrefSnapshot.docs.forEach((userPrefDoc) => {
//Third onSnapshot
cancelUserPhotoSuscription = firestore
.collection('user_photos')
.where('id', '==', tweetDoc.data().uid)
.onSnapshot((userPhotoSnapshot) => {
userPhotoSnapshot.docs.forEach((userPhotoDoc) => {
//Taking the whole data i need from all snapshots
const newData = {
id: tweetDoc.id,
...tweetDoc.data(),
author: userPrefDoc.data().username,
authorColor: userPrefDoc.data().color,
authorPhoto: userPhotoDoc.data().photoURL,
};
list.push(newData);
//Updating my state
if (tweetSnapshot.docs.length === list.length) {
setTweets(list);
}
});
});
});
});
});
});
return () => {
cancelTweetSuscription();
cancelUserPrefSuscription();
cancelUserPhotoSuscription();
};
}, []);
Edit: Fix from comments of above code
Author: #samthecodingman
For each call to onSnapshot, you should keep track of its unsubscribe function and keep an array filled with the unsubscribe functions of any nested listeners. When an update is received, unsubscribe each nested listener, clear the array of nested unsubscribe functions and then insert each new nested listener into the array. For each onSnapshot listener attached, a single unsubscribe function should be created that cleans up the listener itself along with any nested listeners.
Note: Instead of using this approach, create a Tweet component that pulls the author's name and photo inside it.
useEffect(() => {
// helper function
const callIt = (unsub) => unsub();
// First onSnapshot
const tweetsNestedCancelListenerCallbacks = [];
const tweetsCancelListenerCallback = firestore
.collection('tweets')
.onSnapshot((tweetSnapshot) => {
const newTweets = [];
const expectedTweetCount = tweetSnapshot.docs.length;
// cancel nested subscriptions
tweetsNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.forEach(callIt);
// clear the array, but don't lose the reference
tweetsNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.length = 0;
tweetsNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.push(
...tweetSnapshot.docs
.map((tweetDoc) => { // (tweetDoc) => Unsubscribe
const tweetId = tweetDoc.id;
//Second onSnapshot
const userPrefNestedCancelListenerCallbacks = [];
const userPrefCancelListenerCallback = firestore
.collection('user_preferences')
.where('uid', '==', tweetDoc.data().uid)
.limitToFirst(1)
.onSnapshot((userPrefSnapshot) => {
const userPrefDoc = userPrefSnapshot.docs[0];
// cancel nested subscriptions
userPrefNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.forEach(callIt);
// clear the array, but don't lose the reference
userPrefNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.length = 0;
//Third onSnapshot
const userPhotoCancelListenerCallback = firestore
.collection('user_photos')
.where('id', '==', tweetDoc.data().uid)
.limitToFirst(1)
.onSnapshot((userPhotoSnapshot) => {
const userPhotoDoc = userPhotoSnapshot.docs[0];
// Taking the whole data I need from all snapshots
const newData = {
id: tweetId,
...tweetDoc.data(),
author: userPrefDoc.data().username,
authorColor: userPrefDoc.data().color,
authorPhoto: userPhotoDoc.data().photoURL,
};
const existingTweetObject = tweets.find(t => t.id === tweetId);
if (existingTweetObject) {
// merge in changes to existing tweet
Object.assign(existingTweetObject, newData);
if (expectedTweetCount === newTweets.length) {
setTweets([...newTweets]); // force rerender with new info
}
} else {
// fresh tweet
tweets.push(newData);
if (expectedTweetCount === newTweets.length) {
setTweets(newTweets); // trigger initial render
}
}
});
userPrefNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.push(userPhotoCancelListenerCallback);
});
// return an Unsubscribe callback for this listener and its nested listeners.
return () => {
userPrefCancelListenerCallback();
userPrefNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.forEach(callIt);
}
})
);
});
// return an Unsubscribe callback for this listener and its nested listeners.
return () => {
tweetsCancelListenerCallback();
tweetsNestedCancelListenerCallbacks.forEach(callIt);
};
}, []);
Edit: Splitting the code in two components
Note: Changed limitToFirst(1) --> limit(1). Splitting the fetch logic in two components simplified the onSnapshot approach!
1.The Parent Component
useEffect(() => {
const tweetsUnsubscribeCallback = firestore
.collection('tweets')
.onSnapshot((tweetSnapshot) => {
const mappedtweets = tweetSnapshot.docs.map((tweetDoc) => {
return {
id: tweetDoc.id,
...tweetDoc.data(),
};
});
setTweets(mappedtweets);
});
return () => tweetsUnsubscribeCallback();
}, []);
2.The Child Component: Tweet
useEffect(() => {
// Helper Function
const unSubscribe = (unsub) => unsub();
//------------getting the AUTHOR USER PREFERENCE
const userPrefNestedUnsubscribeCallbacks = [];
const userPrefUnsubscribeCallback = firestore
.collection('user_preferences')
.where('uid', '==', tweet.uid)
.limit(1)
.onSnapshot((userPrefSnapshot) => {
userPrefNestedUnsubscribeCallbacks.forEach(unSubscribe); // cancel nested subscriptions
userPrefNestedUnsubscribeCallbacks.length = 0; // clear the array, but don't lose the reference
//------------getting the AUTHOR PHOTO
const userPhotoUnsubscribeCallback = firestore
.collection('user_photos')
.where('id', '==', tweet.uid)
.limit(1)
.onSnapshot((userPhotoSnapshot) => {
// Taking the whole data I need from all snapshots
setAuthor({
author: userPrefSnapshot.docs[0].data().username,
authorColor: userPrefSnapshot.docs[0].data().color,
authorPhoto: userPhotoSnapshot.docs[0].data().photoURL,
});
});
userPrefNestedUnsubscribeCallbacks.push(userPhotoUnsubscribeCallback);
});
return () => {
userPrefUnsubscribeCallback();
userPrefNestedUnsubscribeCallbacks.forEach(unSubscribe);
};
}, []);
Basically, you've pushed the promises to your promise array in the state they were before you you processed their data. You want to make use of the Promise.all(docs.map((doc) => Promise<Result>)) pattern here where each document should return a single Promise containing its final result. This then means that the Promise.all will resolve with Result[].
Note: If inside a Promise you are mutating a variable outside of the Promise (e.g. pushing to an array), that is generally a sign that you are doing something wrong and you should rearrange your code.
Here's a quick example of throwing this together:
useEffect(() => {
let unsubscribed = false;
//------------getting the TWEETS with onSnapshot()-------------
const cancelSuscription = firestore
.collection('tweets')
.onSnapshot((snapshot) => {
const tweetsMappedPromises = snapshot.docs.map((doc) => {
let tweetAndAuthor;
const tweetMappped = {
text: doc.data().text,
likes: doc.data().likes,
email: doc.data().email,
created: doc.data().created,
uid: doc.data().uid,
id: doc.id,
};
//------------getting the AUTHOR USER PREFERENCES with .get()-------------
const userPreferencePromise = firestore
.collection('user_preferences')
.where('uid', '==', tweetMappped.uid)
.limitToFirst(1)
.get()
.then((prefDocQuerySnapshot) => {
const firstPrefDoc = photoDocQuerySnapshot.docs[0];
const { username, color } = firstPrefDoc.data();
return { username, color };
});
//------------getting the AUTHOR PHOTO with .get()-------------
const userPhotoPromise = firestore
.collection('user_photos')
.where('id', '==', tweetMappped.uid)
.limitToFirst(1)
.get()
.then((photoDocQuerySnapshot) => {
const firstPhotoDoc = photoDocQuerySnapshot.docs[0];
return firstPhotoDoc.get("photoURL");
});
//--------------------assemble this result---------------------
return Promises.all([userPreferencePromise, userPhotoPromise])
.then(([authorPreference, authorPhoto]) => {
return {
...tweetMappped,
author: authorPreference.username,
authorColor: authorPreference.color,
authorPhoto: authorPhoto.photoURL,
};
});
});
Promise.all(tweetsMappedPromises)
.then((tweetsMapped) => {
if (unsubscribed) return; // ignore result, dealing with out of date data
setTweets(tweetsMapped);
})
.catch((err) => {
if (unsubscribed) return; // ignore result, dealing with out of date data
// important! handle errors
});
});
return () => {
unsubscribed = true;
cancelSuscription();
}
}, []);
Notes:
You may benefit from using async/await syntax here instead.
On new onSnapshot calls, snapshot.docChanges() can be used to make it more efficient and speed up rerenders by only updating the entries that have changed (e.g. added/removed/modified). You would use setTweets(previousTweetsMapped => /* newTweetsMapped */) for this.

How to get a single document from firestore?

According to the documentation from firebase you can get a document very simply by using get()
But for some reason in my code it always displays that there's no such document, even though it does exist, this is what I'm doing:
useEffect(() => {
console.log(user, "This is the user UID:"+user.uid)
const userDoc = db.collection('usuarios').doc(user.uid);
const doc = userDoc.get();
if (!doc.exists) {
console.log('No such document!');
}
else {
userDoc
.onSnapshot(snapshot => {
const tempData = [];
snapshot.forEach((doc) => {
const data = doc.data();
tempData.push(data);
});
setUserData(tempData);
})
}
}, [user]);
This is what the console.log() shows:
This is how it looks in firebase:
const doc = userDoc.get();
if (!doc.exists) {
.get returns a promise, so you're checking the .exists property on a promise, which is undefined. You will need to wait for that promise to resolve, either with .then:
userDoc.get().then(doc => {
if (!doc.exists) {
// etc
}
});
Or by putting your code in an async function and awaiting the promise:
const doc = await userDoc.get();
if (!doc.exists) {
// etc
}
If you're using the firebase 8 web version, the userDoc.get() returns a promise, not the document:
userDoc.get().then((doc) => {
if (!doc.exists) {
console.log('No such document!');
} else {
const tempData = [];
const data = doc.data();
tempData.push(data);
setUserData(tempData)
console.log('it worked')
}
}).catch((error) => {
console.log("Error getting document:", error);
});
You can get more info about promises in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises.
In your code you are using the get method to fetch user data and get doesn't provide a snapshot. also, you missed that get() will return a promise so you have to handle using async-await or .then etc.
useEffect(() => {
console.log(user, "This is the user UID:"+user.uid);
getUser(user.uid).then(userData => {
setUserData(userData);
});
}, [user]);
const getUser = async (id) => {
try {
const user = await db.collection('usuarios').doc(id).get();
const userData = user.data();
return userData;
} catch (err){
console.log('Error during get user, No such document!');
return false;
}

Update state with Object using React Hooks

I'm getting data from Firebase and want to update state:
const [allProfile, setAllProfile] = useState([]);
.....
const displayProfileList = async () => {
try {
await profile
.get()
.then(querySnapshot => {
querySnapshot.docs.map(doc => {
const documentId = doc.id;
const nProfile = { id: documentId, doc: doc.data()}
console.log(nProfile);//nProfile contains data
setAllProfile([...allProfile, nProfile]);
console.log(allProfile); // is empty
}
);
})
} catch (error) {
console.log('xxx', error);
}
}
The setAllProfile will update the state when the iteration is done. So in order for your code to work, you will need to pass the callback function to the setAllProfile as shown in the docs
setAllProfile((prevState) => [...prevState, nProfile])
UPDATE
Example demonstrating this at work
Since setAllProfile is the asynchronous method, you can't get the updated value immediately after setAllProfile. You should get it inside useEffect with adding a allProfile dependency.
setAllProfile([...allProfile, nProfile]);
console.log(allProfile); // Old `allProfile` value will be printed, which is the initial empty array.
useEffect(() => {
console.log(allProfile);
}, [allProfile]);
UPDATE
const [allProfile, setAllProfile] = useState([]);
.....
const displayProfileList = async () => {
try {
await profile
.get()
.then(querySnapshot => {
const profiles = [];
querySnapshot.docs.map(doc => {
const documentId = doc.id;
const nProfile = { id: documentId, doc: doc.data()}
console.log(nProfile);//nProfile contains data
profiles.push(nProfile);
}
);
setAllProfile([...allProfile, ...profiles]);
})
} catch (error) {
console.log('xxx', error);
}
}
You are calling setState inside a map and therefore create few async calls, all referred to by current ..allProfile value call (and not prev => [...prev...)
Try
let arr=[]
querySnapshot.docs.map(doc => {
arr.push({ id: doc.id, doc: doc.data() })
}
setAllProfile(prev=>[...prev, ...arr])
I don't sure how the architecture of fetching the posts implemented (in terms of pagination and so on, so you might don't need to destruct ...prev
