搜索词未从 TextField 更新到 Firestore StreamBuilder 调用

Question

I am trying to implement a place where users in my app can search my Firestore Database.

When The user enters a search term into the textField:

return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: TextField(
          textInputAction: TextInputAction.search,
          onSubmitted: (value) {
            setState(() {
              searchKey = value;
              streamQuery = db
                  .collection('GearLockerItems')
                  .where('searchTerm', isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: searchKey)
                  .where('searchTerm', isLessThan: '${searchKey}z')
                  .snapshots();
            });
          },
          decoration: const InputDecoration(
            hintText: 'Search for Gear',
            prefixIcon: Icon(Icons.search),
          ),
        ),
      )

I take the value for the search term and place it into the streamQuery

I then take that streamQuery and put it into the StreamBuilder:

body: StreamBuilder<dynamic>(
        stream: streamQuery,
        builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<dynamic> snapshot) {
          //widget build for complated call
          print('Inside stream $searchKey');

          if (snapshot.hasData) {
            return ListView.builder(

AS you can see I put a print statement in there for testing and Inside Stream $searchKey keeps showing null, which is was I default it to. I do not understand why when I enter data into the search box its not updating the searchKey to what ever I type and is keeping it null...

Answer 1

First fetch the data from firestore and use then function to set state.May it works and don't forget to use await because you wait untill the data is fetched.

Answer 2

return Scaffold(
  appBar: AppBar(
    title: TextField(
      textInputAction: TextInputAction.search,
      onSubmitted: (value) {
          searchKey = value;
          await db
              .collection('GearLockerItems')
              .where('searchTerm', isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: searchKey)
              .where('searchTerm', isLessThan: '${searchKey}z')
              .snapshots().then((data) { setstate((){streamQuery = data; });});
      },
      decoration: const InputDecoration(
        hintText: 'Search for Gear',
        prefixIcon: Icon(Icons.search),
      ),
    ),
  )
