So I have a firestore that looks like this
and I want to be able to get just one value from a document, like getting the "uid" from the highlighted document, my php code looks like this:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
//putenv('upheld-pursuit-274606-237ac40b2662.json');
use GoogleCloudFirestoreFirestoreClient;
class Firestore
{
protected $db;
protected $name;
public function __construct(string $collection)
{
$this->db = new FirestoreClient([
'keyFilePath' => 'upheld-pursuit-274606-237ac40b2662.json',
'projectId' => 'upheld-pursuit-274606'
]);
$this->name = $collection;
}
public function getWhere(string $field, string $operator, $value)
{
$arr = [];
$query = $this->db->collection($this->name)->where($field, $operator, $value)->documents()->rows();
if(!empty($query)){
foreach ($query as $q){
$arr[] = $q->data();
}
}
return $arr;
}
public function get(string $field)
{
$arr = [];
$query = $this->db->collection($this->name)->document($field)();
if(!empty($query)){
/*foreach ($query as $q){
$arr[] = $q->data();
}*/
throw new Exception('Document does not exist!');
}
return $query;
}
}
?>
and the code calling it looks like this:
<?php
session_start();
require("connect.php");
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
require_once 'Firestore.php';
$fs = new Firestore('users');
$tfs = new Firestore('tutors');
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['name']);
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['pass']);
$password = md5($password);
$data = array();
print_r($fs->get('1WINXTQdshhn4jLfhMWWaZNNdL32'));
I want to be able to retrieve just one field from a document in case I need for certain if statements or other conditional statements and for checking purposes

It seems you can only do this with NodeJS package for Cloud Firestore.
In this answer there’s a link to the doc for firestore select which does this.
Just as any of the other Client Libraries, the PHP
google/cloud-firestore
has the select method, which allows you to select the fields that you want to be retrieved.I recommend checking the
simple_queries.php
example, if you need further examples on how to set up these queries.
