javascript - How to check if a cloud firestore document exists when using realtime updates

Question

This works:

db.collection('users').doc('id').get()
  .then((docSnapshot) => {
    if (docSnapshot.exists) {
      db.collection('users').doc('id')
        .onSnapshot((doc) => {
          // do stuff with the data
        });
    }
  });

... but it seems verbose. I tried doc.exists, but that didn't work. I just want to check if the document exists, before subscribing to realtime updates on it. That initial get seems like a wasted call to the db.

Is there a better way?
