I want to create a streambuilder to download multiple user-profiles from firebase. But to know which users are needed I have to get the user-ids at first, these are stored in an array. So I created a method to download the array and after this is done the streambuilder loads the user-data for each user-id from the array. Here's the code:
Method to get the array (executed in initState()):
Stream<QuerySnapshot> stream() async* {
job = Job.fromJson(await FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection("jobs")
.doc(widget.jobId)
.get());
applicants = job.applicants;
await FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.where('uid', whereIn: applicants)
.snapshots();
}
And the streambuilder in the scaffolds' body:
body: isLoading
? Center(child: Container(child: CircularProgressIndicator()))
: applicants.isEmpty
? Center(
child: Text("no values"),
)
: StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
stream: stream(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (!snapshot.hasData) {
return Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
} else { xy }
So my question is if there's a possibility to combine the first method and the stream. Because at the moment the user can't get any update if an application is withdrawn while using the screen.
