In a component I want to pull a range of items from FireStore, for ex. from 0 to 5, from 5 to 10 etc. I found this in FireStore's docs, but they dont use AngularFire2 so as harder I tried to refactor as bigger mess I got. I made it working by simply splice()
'ing:
service ->
topFirstScores(): AngularFirestoreCollection<Score> {
return this.fireRef.collection('scores', r => r
.orderBy('score', 'desc').limit(6)
);
}
component ->
$scores = new Subject();
this.scores$ = this.$scores.asObservable();
if (this.scores === 'first') {
this.scoreS.topFirstScores().valueChanges().take(1)
.subscribe(_ => this.$scores.next(_.splice(0, 3)))
} else {
this.scoreS.topFirstScores().valueChanges().take(1)
.subscribe(_ => this.$scores.next(_.splice(3, 3)))
}
But this seems more as a workaround. Could anyone translate this:
var first = db.collection("cities")
.orderBy("population")
.limit(25);
return first.get().then(function (documentSnapshots) {
// Get the last visible document
var lastVisible = documentSnapshots.docs[documentSnapshots.docs.length-1];
console.log("last", lastVisible);
// Construct a new query starting at this document,
// get the next 25 cities.
var next = db.collection("cities")
.orderBy("population")
.startAfter(lastVisible)
.limit(25);
});
That preferably returns AngularFirestoreCollection<T>
?
I had the same Problem and this is what i did.
Service
private _data: BehaviorSubject<Scores[]>;
public data: Observable<Scores[]>;
latestEntry: any;
constructor(private afs: AngularFirestore) {}
// You need to return the doc to get the current cursor.
getCollection(ref, queryFn?): Observable<any[]> {
return this.afs.collection(ref, queryFn).snapshotChanges().map(actions => {
return actions.map(a => {
const data = a.payload.doc.data();
const id = a.payload.doc.id;
const doc = a.payload.doc;
return { id, ...data, doc };
});
});
}
// In your first query you subscribe to the collection and save the latest entry
first() {
this._data = new BehaviorSubject([]);
this.data = this._data.asObservable();
const scoresRef = this.getCollection('scores', ref => ref
.orderBy('score', 'desc')
.limit(6))
.subscribe(data => {
this.latestEntry = data[data.length - 1].doc;
this._data.next(data);
});
}
next() {
const scoresRef = this.getCollection('scores', ref => ref
.orderBy('scores', 'desc')
// Now you can use the latestEntry to query with startAfter
.startAfter(this.latestEntry)
.limit(6))
.subscribe(data => {
if (data.length) {
// And save it again for more queries
this.latestEntry = data[data.length - 1].doc;
this._data.next(data);
}
});
}
Component
scores$: Observable<Scores[]>;
...
ngOnInit() {
this.yourService.first();
this.scores$ = this.yourService.data;
}
nextPage() {
this.yourService.next();
}

AngularFire2 used for FireStore database operations
using below methods:
For Next Page
nextPage() {
this.disable_next = true;
this.firestore.collection('People', ref => ref
.limit(5)
.orderBy('timestamp', 'desc')
.startAfter(this.lastInResponse)
).get()
.subscribe(response => {
if (!response.docs.length) {
this.disable_next = true;
return;
}
this.firstInResponse = response.docs[0];
this.lastInResponse = response.docs[response.docs.length - 1];
this.tableData = [];
for (let item of response.docs) {
this.tableData.push(item.data());
}
this.pagination_clicked_count++;
this.push_prev_startAt(this.firstInResponse);
this.disable_next = false;
}, error => {
this.disable_next = false;
});
}
For Previous Page
prevPage() {
this.disable_prev = true;
this.firestore.collection('People', ref => ref
.orderBy('timestamp', 'desc')
.startAt(this.get_prev_startAt())
.endBefore(this.firstInResponse)
.limit(5)
).get()
.subscribe(response => {
this.firstInResponse = response.docs[0];
this.lastInResponse = response.docs[response.docs.length - 1];
this.tableData = [];
for (let item of response.docs) {
this.tableData.push(item.data());
}
//Maintaing page no.
this.pagination_clicked_count--;
//Pop not required value in array
this.pop_prev_startAt(this.firstInResponse);
//Enable buttons again
this.disable_prev = false;
this.disable_next = false;
}, error => {
this.disable_prev = false;
});
}

I don't know about FireBase, but I'am awesome when you ask about all the items and then filtered.
If you make a method that has as arguments, page and size and an array lastScore I supouse that you can make some like (NOTE: I have NOT Firestone and, the most probably, I'm wrong and the code is bad)
//In service
lastScores:number[]=[];
lastPage:number=0; //use to know where you reach the last page
getNextHightScores(page:number,count:number)
{
//get the limit
let last=page>0?lastScores[page-1]:999999999 //if page=0 a bigger score
//use where and limit
return afs.collection<Item>('scores', r =>
r.where("score", "<", last).orderBy("score","desc").limit(count)
.valueChanges()
.do(r=>{ //using do to store the lastScore
if (r.length)
this.lastScore[page]=r[r.length-1].score;
if (r.length<count)
this.lastPage=page;
})
}
//in component
page:number=0;
ngOnInit(){
getValues(0);
}
getValues(page)
{
service.getNextHightScore(page,5).subscribe(r=>{console.log(r)})
}
//and
<button (click)="page=page+1;getValues(page)">next scores</button>
