This is my working code:

final Stream<QuerySnapshot> products = FirebaseFirestore.instance
  .collection('products')
  .doc('men')
  .collection('tshirts')
  .snapshots();

This is the code I want but not working:

String val = 'tshirts';
final Stream<QuerySnapshot> products = FirebaseFirestore.instance
      .collection('products')
      .doc('men')
      .collection(val)
      .snapshots();

Error: The instance member 'val' can't be accessed in an initializer. Try replacing the reference to the instance member with a different expression

The bellow code I am using in build widget to show database query results & working fine:

GridView.count(
          physics: const BouncingScrollPhysics(),
          crossAxisCount: 2,
          childAspectRatio: 0.5,
          mainAxisSpacing: 30,
          crossAxisSpacing: 10,
          children: snapshot.data!.docs.map((DocumentSnapshot document) {
            Map<String, dynamic> data =
                document.data()! as Map<String, dynamic>;

            return Visibility(
              child: GestureDetector(

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to use val before even initializing the class that is used. You can only access it inside a method or the constructor, example:

@override
void initState() {
    super.initState();
    final Stream<QuerySnapshot> products = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('products').doc('men').collection(val).snapshots();
}
