Get Firestore document key with Flutter

I've got the following code from https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/cloud_firestore#-readme-tab-, but I'm not sure how to get each document's key. What I want to do is tap on each term to view or got to an edit page.

Firestore data model:

-content
--sPuJxAJu0dBMZLBTakd4
---term
---body content

Code:

class _TermsState extends State<Terms> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
      stream: Firestore.instance.collection('content').snapshots(),
      builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.hasError) return Text('Error: ${snapshot.error}');

        switch (snapshot.connectionState) {
          case ConnectionState.waiting:
            return Text('Loading...');
          default:
            return ListView(
              children:
                  snapshot.data.documents.map((DocumentSnapshot document) {
                print(document['term']);
                return ListTile(
                  title: Text(document['term']),
                );
              }).toList(),
            );
        }
      },
    );
  }
}

An update to the above answer from creativecreatorormaybenot, the document ID can now be found in document.id from DocumentSnapshot. document.documentID will not return the id.

Here's a link to the answer I found

When you have a DocumentSnapshot, you can use document.documentID to get its key and document.reference.path to get the whole path.

In this case document is an object of type DocumentSnapshot, which you already retrieve correctly.
