Migration to cloud_firestore 2.0.0

Notice

This page is archived and might not reflect the latest version of the FlutterFire plugins. You can find the latest information on firebase.google.com.

With the release of withConverter, numerous classes/functions take an extra generic parameter.
In most cases, type inference should take care of the migration for you. But in some cases, you may have to specify that generic parameter yourself.

You may need to update your code if:

you are using the always_specify_types lint, in which case there is almost no type-inference in your project
you wrote custom Firestore utilities that interact with classes such as DocumentReference/CollectionReference or DocumentSnapshot/QuerySnapshot. (For example, a widget that takes a DocumentReference as parameter).
you are using StreamBuilder where the stream is from a collection/document.

Migration#

The migration involves adding a <Map<String, dynamic>> in numerous places.

Here is a collection of migration examples:

StreamBuilder:
- StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>(
+ StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot<Map<String, dynamic>>>(
stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('movies').doc('star-wars').snapshots(),
- builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<DocumentSnapshot> snapshot) {
+ builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<DocumentSnapshot<Map<String, dynamic>>> snapshot) {
// ...
}
)
References as function/class parameters:
Future<void> example(
- DocumentReference documentReference,
+ DocumentReference<Map<String, dynamic>> documentReference,
- CollectionReference collectionReference,
+ CollectionReference<Map<String, dynamic>> collectionReference,
- Query query,
+ Query<Map<String, dynamic>> query,
) {
// ...
}
get and set transactions:

final starWarsReference = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('movies').doc('star-wars');

FirebaseFirestore.instance.runTransaction<void>((transaction) async {
-  var starWarsSnapshot = await transaction.get(
+  var starWarsSnapshot = await transaction.get<Map<String, dynamic>>(
    starWarsReference,
  );
-  transaction.set(
+  transaction.set<Map<String, dynamic>>(
    starWarsReference,
    {
      'title': 'Star wars',
    },
  );
});

set batches:
final batch = FirebaseFirestore.instance.batch();

- batch.set(
+ batch.set<Map<String, dynamic>>(
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('movies').doc('star-wars'),
{
'title': 'Star wars',
},
);
