DocumentSnapshot in startAt or startAfter cause an error: Error: Cannot encode type ([object Object]) to a Firestore Value #98
Description
Hello,
According to the https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/query-cursors
we could be able to use a document snapshot to define the query cursor.
but in the fact, it throws an error: "Error: Cannot encode type ([object Object]) to a Firestore Value".
Environment details
- OS: Windows 10
- Node.js version: 9.2.0
- npm version: 5.5.1
- @google-cloud/firestore version: 0.10.0
Steps to reproduce
const first = firestore.collection("collectionName")
.orderBy("population")
.limit(25)
.get()
.then(function (documentSnapshots) {
// Get the last visible document
const lastVisible = documentSnapshots.docs[documentSnapshots.docs.length-1];
const next = firestore.collection("collectionName")
.orderBy("population")
.startAfter(lastVisible)
.limit(25)
.get()
.then(data => {
console.log(data.docs.length);
});
});I tried the same with @firebase/firestore and it works just fine.
