Usage #
Simplest Firestore Pagination
FirestorePagination(

itemBuilder: (context, docs, index) {
final data = docs[index].data() as Map<String, dynamic>;

// Do something cool with the data
},
),
copied to clipboard
Simplest Firebase Realtime Database Pagination
RealtimeDBPagination(
query: FirebaseDatabase.instance.ref().child('scores').orderByChild('score'),
orderBy: 'score',
itemBuilder: (context, dataNodes, index) {
final data = dataNodes[index].value as Map<String, dynamic>;

// Do something cool with the data
},
),

How it Works #

A data listener is added to the query with the given limit.
Every time the user scrolls to the bottom of the list, the limit is increased.
If there are any changes for the loaded data, it will be automatically updated.
If isLive is true, a live listener is added to fetch data before the first load. (i.e. Newly added data will be automatically loaded)
When new data is added, the data listener will be removed and a new data listener will be added with the new limit.
Also the live listener will be removed and a new live listener will be added.

Efficiency & Performance #

Both FirestorePagination and RealtimeDBPagination uses maximum of two stream listeners to fetch data.
Hence it is performant and uses minimum amount of resources.
The listeners are automatically removed when the widget is removed from the widget tree.
For fetching data, the widgets uses this hack to minimize the number of reads from the database.
