Convert Firestore DocumentSnapshot To Map In Flutter

Answer :

As per our discussion snapshot is not a DocumentSnapshot it is AsyncSnapshot

to get the DocumentSnaphot use snapshot.data

to get the actual map you can use snapshot.data.data

Needed to simplify for purpose of example

class ItemsList extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // get the course document using a stream
    Stream<DocumentSnapshot> courseDocStream = Firestore.instance
        .collection('Test')
        .document('4b1Pzw9MEGVxtnAO8g4w')
        .snapshots();

    return StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>(
        stream: courseDocStream,
        builder: (context, AsyncSnapshot<DocumentSnapshot> snapshot) {
          if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.active) {

            // get course document
            var courseDocument = snapshot.data.data;

            // get sections from the document
            var sections = courseDocument['sections'];

            // build list using names from sections
            return ListView.builder(
              itemCount: sections != null ? sections.length : 0,
              itemBuilder: (_, int index) {
                print(sections[index]['name']);
                return ListTile(title: Text(sections[index]['name']));
              },
            );
          } else {
            return Container();
          }
        });
  }
}

The Results

Updated September-2020

To get data from a snapshot document you now have to call snapshot.data() (cloud_firestore 0.14.0 or higher)
