futures property

Future<List<T>> get futures

Future that resolves to all documents in the collection.

Returns a Future that resolves to a list of all documents once, without real-time updates. Respects the limit parameter.

Usage

final users = await userCollection.futures;
for (final user in users) {
  print('User: ${user.name}');
}

Performance

• More efficient than streams for one-time data fetching
• Use limit parameter to control data size
• Consider pagination for large datasets

Implementation

Future<List<T>> get futures async {
  QuerySnapshot snapshots = await _getCollection.limit(limit).get();
  return _snapshots(snapshots);
}
