Class DocumentSnapshot (4.14.2)

A DocumentSnapshot is an immutable representation for a document in a Firestore database. The data can be extracted with [data()] or [get(fieldPath)] to get a specific field.

For a DocumentSnapshot that points to a non-existing document, any data access will return 'undefined'. You can use the [exists] property to explicitly verify a document's existence.
