How to use querySnapshot in a listview builder? (flutter)

I’m trying to fetch documents from my firebase DB and use them to create a social media feed. Here I’m trying to get the length of the fetched collection but I cannot manage to call the variable. Any help would be appreciated. Example code

class LoadDataFromFirestore extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _LoadDataFromFirestoreState createState() => _LoadDataFromFirestoreState();
}

class _LoadDataFromFirestoreState extends State<LoadDataFromFirestore> {
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    CollectionReference _collectionRef =
        FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('fish');

    Future<void> getData() async {
      // Get docs from collection reference
      QuerySnapshot querySnapshot = await _collectionRef.get();

      // Get data from docs and convert map to List
      final allData = querySnapshot.docs.map((doc) => doc.data()).toList();

      print(allData);
    }
  }

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: ListView.builder(
        itemCount: querySnapshot.docs.length,
        itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
          return _postView();
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

>Solution :

First of all it is not ok to call future function in initstate, you need to use FutureBuilder like this:

class LoadDataFromFirestore extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _LoadDataFromFirestoreState createState() => _LoadDataFromFirestoreState();
}

class _LoadDataFromFirestoreState extends State<LoadDataFromFirestore> {
  late CollectionReference _collectionRef;
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _collectionRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('fish');
  }

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: FutureBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
        future: _collectionRef.get(),
        builder: (context, snapshot) {
          switch (snapshot.connectionState) {
            case ConnectionState.waiting:
              return Text('Loading....');
            default:
              if (snapshot.hasError) {
                return Text('Error: ${snapshot.error}');
              } else {
                QuerySnapshot? querySnapshot = snapshot.data;

                return ListView.builder(
                  itemCount: querySnapshot?.docs?.length ?? 0,
                  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
                    var data = querySnapshot?.docs?[index].data();
                    print("data = $data");
                    return _postView();
                  },
                );
              }
          }
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

inside listview’s builder you can use data to parse your data and use it.
