How to Effectively Query Firestore for City Statistics in React Native datatables

Creating a statistics page using Firestore in your React Native application can be challenging, especially when dealing with asynchronous data fetching. If you’ve found yourself unable to display counts of cities on your datatable, you're not alone. In this guide, we'll explore how to solve the common problem of retrieving and displaying Firestore collections in a datatable format effectively.

The Problem

You need to create a datatable that shows counts for different cities which are stored in a Firestore database. Although you can log the numbers to the console, displaying them on your UI has proven to be a hurdle. This is a common issue developers face when working with asynchronous data fetching in React Native and Firestore.

What You Tried

You’ve already attempted the following approaches but faced difficulties:

Utilizing the GetDetails function to return snap size, without success.

Experimenting with FlatList, but it did not yield the desired results.

Attempting to call data with functions, which was ineffective.

The Solution

To successfully display the counts in your datatable, you need to ensure that you manage your asynchronous data correctly. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the solution:

1. Import Necessary Packages

Ensure you have the required packages for your React Native project:

2. Set Up State Variables

You'll need a state variable to hold the details of each city's data:

3. Fetch City Data

Within your GetCities function, after fetching the city zones, also retrieve the details for each city:

4. Fetch City Details Asynchronously

Modify your GetDetails function to update detailsForRegions state, ensuring that the UI updates accordingly:

5. Render DataTable Rows

Now that you have the city counts stored in state, render the rows in your DataTable:

Conclusion

By correctly managing asynchronous data with state updates, you can seamlessly display counts from Firestore in your React Native application. This ensures that the UI reflects the most current data as it is fetched from the database.

Now, you can not only count the statistics per city but also provide an intuitive interface for users to interact with your app's data effortlessly.

Final Thoughts

Building applications that fetch data from Firestore needs a good understanding of asynchronous operations. Following the outlined steps will help you manage your data fetching effectively while providing a user-friendly interface through a datatable.

Remember to always check your console for any errors to help troubleshoot any issues that arise during development. Happy coding!
