How to get an array from Firestore with JavaScript?

Question

In my below app I first get the uids of 4 players and then make a query for each username and the devices token id, that are stored separately in my database.

To save reads I stored both informations now in the same document in an array. Since I am a novice in JavaScript I don't know how to get this array now from Firestore and access the stored data in that array.

I know how to get an array from Firestore with Android/Java but this seems not to work with JavaScript.

Any help is much appreciated!

Here is my code that I use in a Cloud Function:

...

// This is where the array is stored, I now need to get the array and access the data of it
      admin.firestore().collection("User").doc(uid_player_1).collection("User Info").doc("UsernameToken").get().then(queryResult =>{
        // You need to get the array that is stored there. The first value (0) there is the username, the second is the device token

console.log(queryResult)

      });

...

This is the log I get:

QueryDocumentSnapshot {
  _fieldsProto: 
   { usernameToken: { arrayValue: [Object], valueType: 'arrayValue' } },

...

Here is the collection with the document that contains the array:

Answer 1

If I correctly understand your question, the following should do the trick:

      admin.firestore().collection("User").doc(uid_player_1).collection("User Info").doc("UsernameToken").get().then(queryResult =>{

          const username = queryResult.data().usernameToken[0];
          const token = queryResult.data().usernameToken[1];

      });

queryResult is a DocumentSnapshot : It "contains data read from a document in your Firestore database. The data can be extracted with.data() or.get() to get a specific field."

As explained in the documentation here you can access the data in your code using this

admin.firestore().collection("User").doc(uid_player_1).collection("User Info").doc("UsernameToken").get().then(queryResult =>{

 console.log(queryResult.data());

});
