I have seen this question asked, but with no good answer. I can understand what the issue is, but can't seem to find out how to remedy it. Here is my function:
//set JSON content type and CORS headers for the response
response.header('Content-Type','application/json');
response.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
response.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', '*');
//respond to CORS preflight requests
if (request.method == 'OPTIONS') {
response.status(204).send('');
}
// pull in firebase
var firebase = require('firebase');
require("firebase/firestore");
let config = {
// config stuff here
}
if (!firebase.apps.length) {
firebase.initializeApp(config);
}
// grab doc id from request
var id = request.query.docId;
// declare connection to firestore
var db = firebase.firestore();
// grab user from request
var docRef = db.collection("clients").doc(id);
// grab the users server and id
docRef.get().then(function(doc) {
// grab the account id
var accountId = doc.data().accountId;
// declare master variable that will be returned
var toReturn = [];
// declare variables that will be returned in toReturn
var gpmGames = [];
var cspmGames = [];
var damageGames = [];
var damageToChampionsGames = [];
var damageTakenGames = [];
var wardsGames = [];
db.collection('games')
.where('accountId', '==', accountId)
.get()
.then((res) => {
var games = res.docs;
// iterate through games and get averages and totals to return
games.forEach(function(game) {
gpmGames.push(game.data().gpm);
cspmGames.push(game.data().cspm);
damageGames.push(game.data().damage);
damageToChampionsGames.push(game.data().damagetochampions);
damageTakenGames.push(game.data().damagerecieved);
wardsGames.push(game.data().wards);
});
});
toReturn['gpmGames'] = gpmGames;
toReturn['cspmGames'] = cspmGames;
toReturn['damageGames'] = damageGames;
toReturn['damageToChampionsGames'] = damageToChampionsGames;
toReturn['damageTakenGames'] = damageTakenGames;
toReturn['wardsGames'] = wardsGames;
response.status(200).send(toReturn);
});
So I understand that my return is being called before everything is done running. How can I fix that? Of course, my return is giving an empty array and I get the error from firebase: Error: function crashed out of request scope Function invocation was interrupted.
Thanks!

You have to use the promise that's returned from this:
db.collection('games')
.where('accountId', '==', accountId)
.get()
This is an asynchronous call, and it returns immediately with a promise that becomes resolved when the work is complete.
You need to use that promise to send the response at the right time:
const proimise = db.collection('games')
.where('accountId', '==', accountId)
.get()
promise.then(snapshot => {
// work with the document snapshot here, and send your response
})
.catch(error => {
// deal with any errors if necessary.
response.status(500).send(error)
})
The way you're sending the response seems OK, you just need to wait till the fetch is done.
