Manually entered data not being saved in Firebase document - firebase

Question

I have a screen with several text fields and some are populated when it is created. This is done in the initState() function. When I enter data into the empty text fields and then save the data to a firebase document only the data that is manually entered after the screen has been created is saved to the document. Below is the code for the screen. Please help with this.
final _firebaseAuthUser = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser;
final agentsRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(('agents'));
final agencyRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(('agency'));
class AgentProfileScreen extends StatefulWidget {
static const String id = 'agent_profile_screen';
final Agents agents;
AgentProfileScreen([this.agents]);
#override
_AgentProfileScreenState createState() => _AgentProfileScreenState();
}

}
saveAgent() async {
final newAgent = new Map();
if (globals.newAgent == true) {
final DocumentSnapshot currentAgencyProfile =
await agencyRef.doc(globals.agencyId).get();
var newAgent = Agents(
agentId: globals.currentUid,
fName: _fName,
lName: _lName,
address1: currentAgencyProfile.data()['address1'],
address2: currentAgencyProfile.data()['address2'],
city: currentAgencyProfile.data()['city'],
state: globals.selectedAgentState,
zipcode: currentAgencyProfile.data()['zipCode'],
cellPhone: currentAgencyProfile.data()['cellPhone'],
officePhone: currentAgencyProfile.data()['officePhone'],
agencyId: globals.agencyId,
agency: agency);
firestoreService.saveAgent(newAgent);
} else {
var newAgent = Agents(
agentId: globals.currentUid,
fName: _fName,
lName: _lName,
address1: _address1,
address2: _address2,
city: _city,
state: globals.selectedAgentState,
zipcode: _zipCode,
cellPhone: _cellPhone,
officePhone: _officePhone,
agencyId: globals.agencyId,
agency: agency);
firestoreService.saveAgent(newAgent);
}
//firestoreService.saveAgent(newAgent);
_fName = "";
_lName = "";
_address1 = "";
_address2 = "";
_city = "";
_state = "";
_zipCode = null;
_cellPhone = "";
_officePhone = "";
_agencyId = "";
_agency = "";
}
Here is the saveAgent function. I really don't think this is the problem but here it is anyway.
Future<void> saveAgent(Agents agents) {
return _db.collection('agents').doc(globals.currentUid).set(agents.toMap());
}

initState is designed to be a synchronous function, and since your async function will take some time to execute, it will not work out as you expect. To call async function make use of FutureBuilder widget inside your build function.
