How to show product by category flutter Firestore

Question

I'm trying to filter my list by category but no success so far. I've tried several ways to implement it and also asked some friends. Unfortunately non of their answers has worked yet.

This is the full code for the screen. I'd like to be able to filter documents by category, something like: "Where()"...

Any idea?

Thanks.

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:get/get.dart';
import 'package:tabib/core/view_model/services/home_sevices.dart';
import 'package:tabib/models/category_model.dart';
import 'package:tabib/models/doctor_model.dart';
class HomeViewModel extends GetxController{
  ValueNotifier<bool> get loading => _loading;
  final ValueNotifier<bool> _loading = ValueNotifier(false);
  List<CategoryModel> get categoryModel => _categoryModel;
  final List<CategoryModel> _categoryModel = [];
  List<DoctorsModel> get doctorsyModel => _doctorsyModel;
  final List<DoctorsModel> _doctorsyModel = [];
  HomeViewModel() {
    getCategory();
    getDoctors();
  }
  getCategory() async{
    _loading.value = true;
    HomeServices().getCategory().then((value) {
      for(int i = 0; i< value.length; i++) {
        _categoryModel.add(CategoryModel.fromJson(value[i].data() as Map<dynamic, dynamic>));
        _loading.value = false;
      }
      update();
    });
  }
  getDoctors() async {
    _loading.value = true;
    HomeServices().getDoctors().then((value) {
      for(int i = 0; i< value.length; i++) {
        _doctorsyModel.add(DoctorsModel.fromJson(value[i].data() as Map<dynamic, dynamic>));
        _loading.value = false;
        print(_doctorsyModel);
      }
      update();
    });
  }
}

Solution

Posting Frank van Puffelen's comment as a Wiki answer for visibility.

You can filter your documents by category using querying methods described in the FlutterFire docs.

For example, the where method:

FirebaseFirestore.instance
  .collection('categories')
  .where()
  .get()
  .then(...);
