Hi there, If I am not mistaken what is @Mari trying to say is to open Developer Tab, select “Network” and then look for “event.json” (usually, but could be different).
Alternative is to try to call the same via the Postman. Usually Postman will tell you more than Appgyver do and to be honest, sometimes is better to use direct API calls as AppGyver is not 100% compatible with Firestore (for example, Firestore requires PATCH for update and Appgyver’s doing POST via Update Record) and there’s much more cases. So get yourself Postman, look for the endpoint you need and try it.
even though as an error from firebase i get the Failed to map firestore query conditions.
i dont know why that error is not showing in the respone.
do you think i should look in postman?
Hi @Mari im sorry for tagging you, but unfortunately i haven’t still resolved my problem and i have looked everywhere for help. If you have any more knowledge on what’s going on, i would appreciate your help a lot.
So the problem, still remains that i cant find the firebase link to create the query filtering, even though i get the error message about mapping query conditions.
Hi @Dimos_Vamvourellis, sorry for the long follow-up time! What kind of query exactly is it that is giving you this error, is it the one with an ANY condition? Looks like Firebase has a limitation there:
Cloud Firestore provides limited support for logical OR queries. The in , and array-contains-any operators support a logical OR of up to 10 equality ( == ) or array-contains conditions on a single field. For other cases, create a separate query for each OR condition and merge the query results in your app.
Hey @Mari Thank you very much for your help, yes this is exactly what i was looking for, even though this feature is critical for my app, do you think, that this is possible maybe with separate calls for each product id with something like a loop, or you think for many documents we will need many calls and this might bring problems?
Also,
Do you know any other way in order to achieve the same result, meaning, to call many documents from a document id list ?
(the one thing that im not so sure if its optimized, is where i set the data variable by adding the new data to the old) bellow you can see the logics of the set data variable do you thing its optimal (for now you can see there are only 10 records but in the future there might be hundreds)?
I have one more question, if you can help me. More specifically as you can see in the video, it is clear that there is a loop (because of the way they appear on screen) and so i was wondering, if this is something that will also be noticeable in the final app, so the user can see them appearing one after the other, or in the final app everything happens faster and so this wont be so noticeable?
After all do you think there’s a way to minimize this ?
Thank you in advance.
I wanted to let you know that youve helped me so much with this.
Hi, you’re correct, the drawback of the loop method is that the requests are sent one after another, not in parallel, so the items will appear in the order in which they are added to the final collection. One solution to prevent the images appearing at different times is to use the Conditional Renderer component to display a spinner until the loop has finished fetching all the data, using for example a true/false page variable to indicate when loading is done.
Sending requests in parallel is also possible (so the whole operation only takes as long as the slowest request you send), but there isn’t currently a no-code solution for this. You can reach a more performant execution with the custom JavaScript node using the axios library (docs here), this article outlines how to use Promise.all() to achieve this.
i will check these out. But from what i understand, one disadvantage to this solution, is the order they appear, which for me is a plus because i need that order and the ‘big’ disadvantage is the loading time, which i can solve with your solution, but im thinking of doing it a bit different by making the loader invisible after loading 20 posts (or when finishing if the posts are less then 20) because these have to be shown first and there is no reason to wain until all are downloaded. Last of all im betting that the time needed in the actual app will be less noticeable, but i will definitely take a look at the other solution and if i can i will implement it.
Thank you very much!
I think I’m having a similar issue as this post. When I do the below filter to get a record collection using “AND” it works fine, but when I use “ANY”, I get an error.
thanks for the reply. What limitations are there? Can I get around it if I use the REST API rather than the Firebase integration? From what I’ve seen the “ANY” doesn’t seem to work at all since the query I’m doing is fairly basic (2 equal conditions). But I’m relatively new to Appgyver so would be happy to learn I’m doing it wrong.
No unfortunately, you cant override the limitations with rest api, because the limitations are from firebase.
You can find more about the limitations, in firebase documentation.
ohh, well, excepting the difficulty of making it, and the fact that there is a delay that the item appear, in the screen(you could wait until all the items are in the list and then show the list or show the list from the beginning which means that you can see the items appear one after the other) everything worked fine.
FWIW - I ended up implementing a slightly different solution using the REST API that allows the use of an “in” query that at least lets you fetch 10 matches at a time. see Query Firestore Collection against a List of Matching Values if you’re interested.
