I have recently started working on flutterflow and have been wandering around the internet for implementing document referencing to enable chats but I was just confused and couldn't find a suitable explanation anywhere, but you have explained it very clearly and It was very helpful.

i hope so, the channel is growing up, thanks a lot

[@RR-et6zp]

Ah so document reference is like a bridge that allows the parameters to be called and displayed? I was also thinking to ask when do you use a document reference vs. the document directly, like a user. Or is passing the documents not used often?

[@learn_no-code]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5vUfHWmlKekn80 this video will help you a lot

[@ahmed_5g]

thank you again, I watched so many flutterflow tutorials before but you are the best instructor Q : why is this a better solution than before is it because its gonna be easier to edit and add more types of data to the collection ?

[@learn_no-code]

Exactly, it helps you better show data of a specific document in a collection

[@mattrowe5392]

Hi, thanks for all the Flutterflow tutorials. They're fantastic ! I've watched many of your videos however I cannot find a solution to my problem. I want to create 2 separate documents on 2 separate collections and link them via a document reference within a single action chain. Is there a solution to this, because it seems that all documents are created simultaneously on the action chain, and therefore no document ID for the second document to look up... thanks so much for your help! :)

[@learn_no-code]

if you want to link document A created at action A1, then for action A1, use the output feature that you'll find at the botom of a "create document" action, then use that output (the reference to be exact) and put it in the the document B. if you still have a problem, you can reach out to me on X, link is in my channel

[@mattrowe5392]

Amazing! Thank you so much, that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again @@learn_no-code

[@BitesandGo]

Hi! thanks for your video... How to limit the number of tasks (Documents) that an user can create? To save Firebase costs...

[@learn_no-code]

as a good practice, let users add whatever they want, but if you want to add limits, then use a field in user's document, that field must be an integer, each time a user creates the task, increment that field by one, if that field goes above a certain number, don't add tasks but again, let them add how much tasks they want and also people will delete tasks once they are done

[@BitesandGo]

@@learn_no-code Hey, thanks! Could it get expensive? Well, instead of saving tasks, my app saves words with their meanings shown in a list view (or a swipeable stack - I'll try). But you are right, it wouldn't be so nice to restrict it; writing integers would also involve writing costs every time I update them, I guess.

[@learn_no-code]

exactly, let them feel free or they'll look somewhere else

[@limitlesshustle9294]

Thanks for the amazing video: please can u explain the difference between parameters and documents reference

[@learn_no-code]

maybe i'll make a video about it in the future, just stay tuned

[@mathans9716]

I have recently explored flows features in flutter flow, which include a group chat feature. I am facing challenges in finding tutorials related to connecting it to the backend. Despite my efforts, as a newcomer to this area, I struggle to identify and troubleshoot the issues accurately. I am in urgent need of assistance to complete this feature promptly, as I have a college project deadline approaching. Any guidance or support you can provide to help me integrate the group chat with the backend would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding.

[@learn_no-code]

well, would liek to spend some time writing me a very detaield email (send it to this email [e-mail]) and if i had time, i'll responde

[@jinskim7615]

At 4:29, if I compare it with Excel tables, it seems "document" is the same as "table" and "field" is the same as "column". If so, what is "collection" the same as in Excel format?

[@learn_no-code]

It's hard for me to explain this to you here in the comments, just wait for the future episodes in the final peoject because we'll go in debt with document reference

[@jinskim7615]

Sorry for multiple questions, but I am trying hard to understand how Document Reference works. Before 17:37, you put doc reference for the first item (meet mark). At 17:37, you clicked the second item (hang out), and the Show Room screen shows the second item. I am confused because your work on doc reference was for the first item, and how come it worked for the second item???

[@learn_no-code]

Look! I'll make a tutorial right for you, please be patient

[@olufemiopeyemi4002]

@learn_no-code Hi and how are you? Please I want to as a question: What is the main difference and advantage(s) of using "Documnet of reference" over "Page Parameter" when displaying the content of a selection from listview

[@learn_no-code]

When you use parameters, you need to pass them as you navigate to a certain page, if you have ten parameters in a page, then the process will become hard, instead, if you pass only the reference to a page, things are gonna be much more easier, anyway! I'll do a tutorial just for you on this topic after we finish our final project and you'll get the idea dear friend. Until then, i highly recommend you watch the video again, it may help you

[@jinskim7615]

Thanks for the video. If I understand correctly, the two diagrams in 1:52 and 2:29 do exactly the same task. Why would one choose one approach over the other?

[@learn_no-code]

the second one is a better approach as it allows you to reduce the number of parameters and use only one document reference, and this reference will help flutterflow get the other data which are in tis case the fields very quickly, i hope i was clear, otherwise, we'll see that in the final project that will start today

[@jinskim7615]

​@@learn_no-code Thanks for your explanation. To be honest, this lecture #9 on document reference is the hardest to follow so far. It has been really easy to follow up to lecture #8. Thank you so much!

[@learn_no-code]

yes, it can be hard but as i told you, today we'll start a project that it will based on document reference, so, it's an opportunity for you to understand it, BTW i love your geniuine interest, keep up! @@jinskim7615

@@learn_no-code I think you have an amazing talent to explain technical concepts with minimal logical jumps - hence, easy to follow for me, a newbie to low-code. Thanks!

[@jinskim7615]

@@learn_no-code I am not sure if I understand correctly. In the first approach, they pass 3 data. In the second approach, they pass 3 data to doc reference and doc reference passes 1 data (so, total 4 data). I wonder why you said "[the second approach] allows you to reduce the number of parameters"???
