Trying to list orders in a table. However I have the userId embedded in the orders documents{orderItemss, orderTotal, shippingFee,userID}, and not the user’s name, email, contact, etc.
How do I dynamically get the user fName, lName, etc to join OrderDetails and display the full object within a table?
WHat i tried was:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import Layout from "../components/Layout";
import { collection, query, where, getDocs } from "firebase/firestore";
import { db } from "../utils/firebase";
const Orders = () => {
const [users, setUsers] = useState([]);
const [orders, setOrders] = useState([]);
const ordersCollectRef = query(collection(db, "Orders"));
const userCollectionRef = query(collection(db, "User"));
useEffect(() => {
const getUsers = async () => {
const data = await getDocs(userCollectionRef);
setUsers(
data.docs.map((doc) => ({
...doc.data(),
id: doc.id,
}))
);
};
getUsers();
const getOrders = async () => {
const orderData = await getDocs(ordersCollectRef);
setOrders(
orderData.docs.map((order) => ({
...order.data(),
}))
);
};
getOrders();
}, []);

Edit: Revised Answer
To attach user details to each order, you can do the following:
There are two ways of going about it. The more efficient way is as follows:
In your submit order handler, after you create an order document using addDoc(), you can store the id of the newly created document as an element in the orders array of the user document corresponding to the currently logged in user. That way, when you want to display the orders of a user, you only need to fetch those documents whose id is mentioned inside the orders array.
If you want to work with fetching all users and all orders at the same time, you will have to do it inside a useEffect call, with dependencies as [users, orders] with the following callback:
Let me know if you need help with more code.
If you want to combine the data from two collections then you have to do it in javascript. I’m not really sure what you want to achieve but here’s my take how you will combine the data based from the userID field. See code below:

Note: There are many ways to combine objects, this is just one of them.
