Error in db.dart for Collection.streamData

[FireJuun]

db.dart provides an excellent, abstract means to connect Firestore documents and collections to Flutter without all the boilerplate. However, I noticed a bug when working with streams in db.dart. When creating a stream collection, such as by calling: StreamProvider<List<Example>>.value(value: Global.exampleRef.streamData())

...inside of a MultiProvider widget, you will get the following error message:

An exception was thrown by _MapStrean<QuerySnapshot, List> listened by StreamProvider<List>, but no 'catchError was provided.

Exception: type 'MappedListIterable<DocumentSnapshot, Example>' is not a subtype of type 'List'

In db.dart, Line 47 is missing a .toList() at the end: Stream<List<T>> streamData() { return ref.snapshots().map((list) => list.documents.map((doc) => Global.models[T](doc.data) as T).toList()); }

Hey, I might have found the solution for your problem. I was facing the same problem as you did, while browsing in the depth of the StackOverflow, I found this Hope it helps after 11 months :)

[FireJuun]

Haha. Thanks. :)

Adding .toList() to the end of line 47 was the answer, by the way. I'm not sure if I had made that clear in my description of the issue. Technically, I probably should have just submitted a PR with the solution/update...

Thank you! I was running into the same issue and adding the toList() worked for me.

Hi, I was trying to fetch data from firestore using provider and this exception was thrown, have no idea what went wrong.

            ════════ Exception caught by provider ══════════

The following assertion was thrown: An exception was throw by _MapStream<QuerySnapshot, List

listened by StreamProvider, but no catchError was provided. Exception: type 'int' is not a subtype of type 'double'

ADDRESS CLASS Address.fromFirestore(Map<String, dynamic> firestore) : addressID = firestore['addressID'], streetNumber = firestore['streetNumber'], streetName = firestore['streetName'], city = firestore['city'], province = firestore['province'], customerContact = firestore['customerContact'], numberOfBedrooms = firestore['numberOfBedrooms'], numberOfFamilyRooms = firestore['numberOfFamilyRooms'], squareFeet = firestore['squareFeet'], customerName = firestore['customerName'], appointmentDate = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(firestore['appointmentDate']), nextAppointmentDate = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse(firestore['nextAppointmentDate']), price = firestore['price'];

DATABASE SERVICE Stream<List

getAddress(){ return _db.collection('addressCollection').snapshots().map((snapshot) => snapshot.docs.map((document) => Address.fromFirestore(document.data())).toList()); } WIDGET CLASS @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { final address = Provider.of<List

(context, listen: false); } MAIN providers: [ ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (context) => AddressProvider(),), StreamProvider(create: (context) => firestoreService.getAddress()), ],

**I have used another provider in the same project for different collection and it worked fine, just the address is giving hard time

When you upgrade your firestore you'll wind up with a different set of errors with one related to the streamData. I can't figure it out.

Stream<List> streamData() { return ref.snapshots().map((list) => list.documents.map((doc) => Global.modelsT as T) ); }

gives: Expected a value of type 'Map<dynamic, dynamic>', but got one of type '() => Map<String, dynamic>'

You need to add a () somewhere in your code. The error is that it wants a map as its return value, but it is instead receiving a function that creates a map... Hence the () before => Map...

Assuming everything worked before the upgrade, you may want to consider changing doc.data to doc.data()

@jrheisler let me know if that was your issue.

[jrheisler]

Exactly, but I changed it on the receiving end in the model to data(). Thank you!!!

I added my problem on SO. Putting the v.data() solved the error of Map subtypes, but now I get the stream returned as null. I don't understand what is going wrong here. I've printed the user id too and it shows correctly in the switchmap.

Any help? @FireJuun @jrheisler

@LongKhoa0706 that was exactly how I fixed the issue on my side.
