How to perform aggregation on firestore collection

I'm working with firestore for the first time and the dataset in which I have users and games data.
enter image description here
In every game data I've finalScore



enter image description here
There is a foreign key in Games called userID for each game that differentiate that this game data belong to.



I want to write a function in index.js which can take in the userID and SUM all the finalScore and return the total score for that user.



So far what I have after searching google is:



exports.myFunctionName = functions.firestore
.document('Users').onWrite((change, context) =>
// ... Your code here
);


This is the first time I'm working on this and want to achieve something for which I didn't find related help. I'm working on an iOS app for which I'm using this as a backend service.

          Firestore doesn't have any aggregation queries, because they don't scale massively as Firestore requires. If you want to find a total value among documents, you will either have to:



          1. Query all the documents in the client, and sum them manually, or

          2. Keep a running total over time, as each new score is known. Then, you can query for that running total in another document when you need it.
