Firebase AND & OR Queries: You can nest Filter.and() and Filter.or() for advanced queries without writing inefficient workarounds.

Google Firebase

If you’ve ever struggled with complex filters in Firebase, you’ll love Filter.and() and Filter.or(). These let you easily combine multiple conditions without chaining .where() calls endlessly.

🔥 AND queries: Need all conditions to be true? Just wrap them in Filter.and().

query.where(Filter.and(
Filter("status", isEqualTo: "active"),
Filter("role", isEqualTo: "admin"),
));

OR queries: Need at least one condition to match? Use Filter.or().

query.where(Filter.or(
Filter("age", isGreaterThan: 18),
Filter("verified", isEqualTo: true),
));

💡 Combining AND & OR:
You can nest Filter.and() and Filter.or() for advanced queries without writing inefficient workarounds.

query.where(Filter.and(
Filter("country", isEqualTo: "USA"),
Filter.or(
Filter("premiumUser", isEqualTo: true),
Filter("subscription", isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: 1),
),
));

Why use this?
✅ Cleaner, more readable queries
✅ No more chaining .where() for complex filters
✅ Firestore handles everything under the hood efficiently

This makes querying Firestore data in Flutter much more flexible! 🚀

If you’re still using old .where() chains, it's time to upgrade.

Who's already using Filter.and() & Filter.or()?
