I'm new to Google Firestore and swift generally, and am wondering how to properly set up a onSnapshot() method so my view controller can receive updates automatically and to fit all situations. I have a very simple struct (Llama) that I am using to model my data. I was able to build a rudimentary Firestore setup by following this excellent tutorial: ( [this video] ) However, I've found that in implementing my own version of the code, I only know how to allow for document creation on the server.

I followed this tutorial [this video] to perform queries from Firebase firestore As long as I had only one type of object Note everything is fine.

String, let date = dictionary["date"] as? Date, let text = dictionary["text"] as? String, let type = dictionary["type"] as? String else {return nil} self.init(title: title,
