findCollectionWithConverter method

Query<T> findCollectionWithConverter()

Finds a CollectionReference of type T based on specified _collectionPath.

Make sure to have specified the _toJson and _fromJson methods or else the FirestoreApi will not now how to convert the data to T.

If _tryAddLocalId is true then your data will also contain a local id field based on the _idFieldName specified in the constructor. Add this id field to your T and you will have easy access to the document id at any time.

If _tryAddLocalDocumentReference is true then your data will also contain a local reference field based on the _documentReferenceFieldName specified in the constructor. Add this reference field to your T and you will have easy access to the document reference at any time.

If you rather want to retrieve data in the raw form of a List<Map<String, dynamic>> consider using the findCollection method instead.
