Can't call useFirestoreDoc or useFirestoreCollection with null query

See original GitHub issue

The PR merged in FirebaseExtended/reactfire#167 broke the ability to call useFirestoreDoc and useFirestoreCollection with a null query. This is useful to accommodate where dependencies hadn’t been calculated yet.

For example:

const user = useUser();
const doc = useFirestoreDoc(
  user ? firebase.firestore().collection('x').doc(user.uid) : null
);

Hey @dannybarinshtein, sorry for the delay. Any chance you can provide a pared-down code sample to demonstrate? I think I understand you use case, and I’m pretty sure that the better solution is still to break things out into different components instead of passing a null query to useFirestoreDoc, but having a concrete example would make it easier to discuss.

Mid writing up an example here I started to agree with you that it might be best to separate into smaller components.

Lets disregard this 😃 thanks for the feedback!
