    await FirebaseFirestore.instance
        .collection('usersData')
        .doc(FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.uid)
        .get()
        .then((doc) => {nutr = doc.data()});
    print('test');
    if (nutr != null) {
      this.progress = nutr['progress'];
      setState(() {
        progressAdd = nutr   kcal2;

CodePudding user response：

This line: .then((doc) => {nutr = doc.data()});

will assign the doc.data() which have a type of Map<String, dynamic> to the nutr variable.

so, this:

 progressAdd = nutr   kcal2;

is actually not valid, because you want to make an addition over objects that can't be summed, nutr have a type of Map<String, dynamic> and kcal2 is double.

from the code I read, I assume that you want to get the existing progress on the Firestore document and update it with the sum of it kcal2, so try the following:

instead of:

progressAdd = nutr   kcal2;

replace with this:

progressAdd = this.progress   kcal2;

this now should be valid that you want to sum to numbers the update in Firestore.
