Endless loop in firestore - firebase

I'm trying to update my documents in firestore, so when I'm trying to update it keeps updating without stopping. The first time it updates using the data from the signup dart file, then the second time it updates using the data from another dart file.
Here is the code for the signup:
FirebaseAuth auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
await auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
email: emailController.text, password: passwordController.text)
.then((value) => {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, 'DialogFlow'),
user=auth.currentUser,
user.sendEmailVerification(),
DatabaseService(uid:user.uid).UpdateUserData("", emailController.text, ChatScreenState().mess)
Here is the code for the other dart file:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => _scrollToEnd());
FirebaseAuth auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
user=auth.currentUser;
DatabaseService db = DatabaseService(uid: user.uid);
return StreamBuilder(
stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("users").doc(user.uid).snapshots(),
builder: (context , snapshot){
print("====================================");
print(snapshot.data);
print("====================================");
if (snapshot.data != null) {
this.userTestMessage = "";
shhh = pressed ? true : false;
flag = true;
print(Retrieved_messages);
if (Retrieved_messages==false) {
this.messsages = snapshot.data['messsages'];
Retrieved_messages=true;
}
db.UpdateUserData(
user.displayName, user.email, this.messsages);
print(mess);
print(Retrieved_messages);
print("==============================");
print(snapshot.data);
print("==============================");
}
if (db.getUserMessages() == null) {
if (user != null) {
db.UpdateUserData(
user.displayName, user.email, this.messsages);
}
}
And the code for the database which sets and updates the documents is:
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:font_awesome_flutter/font_awesome_flutter.dart';
import 'package:satoshi/models/Userdata.dart';
import 'package:satoshi/widgets/dialog_flow.dart';
class DatabaseService {
//collection reference
final String uid;
List messsages=[];
DatabaseService({this.uid, this.messsages});
final CollectionReference userCollection = FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users');
SetUserData(String Username, String Email,
List messsages) async
{ try {
return await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("users").doc(uid).set({
'Username': Username,
'Email': Email,
'messsages': messsages,
}
);
}catch(e){
print(e+" this is the error");
}
}
UpdateUserData(String Username, String Email,
List messsages) async
{ try {
return await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("users").doc(uid).update({
'Username': Username,
'Email': Email,
'messsages': messsages,
}
);
}catch(e){
print(e+" this is the error");
}
}
Future getUserMessages() async
{
DocumentSnapshot UserDetail = await userCollection.doc(uid).get();
var msg = UserDetail.data()['messsages'];
return await msg;
}
Stream<QuerySnapshot> get users {
return userCollection.snapshots();
}
Userdata userDataFromSnapshot(DocumentSnapshot snapshot) {
return Userdata(uid: uid,
name: snapshot.get('Username'),
email: snapshot.get('Email'),
messsages: snapshot.get('messsages'),
);
}
Stream<Userdata> get userData {
return userCollection.doc(uid).snapshots().asyncMap(userDataFromSnapshot);
}
}
Note: it keeps adding the data in the signup code, then adds the data in the other dart file, which results in an endless loop, also the snapshot isn't updating, it remains the same data as the signup

You are calling the Update function inside the stream builder so what it basically does is once the update function is called firebase gets notified of the document change and rebuilds the widget so again the update function is called and it turns into an infinite loop. what you can do is add any condition such that it won't get called again once the data is updated.
Example
if (<Somecondition>){
db.UpdateUserData(
user.displayName, user.email, this.messsages);
}

A document path must be a non-empty string, Flutter - Firebase error?

I have some mistakes with flutter and firebase, if someone can help would be great here is my auth controller

Here is my function to createNewUser
class Database {
final FirebaseFirestore _firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
Future<bool> createNewUser(UserModel user) async {
try {
await _firestore.collection("users").doc(user.id).set({
"name": user.name,
"email": user.email,
"profilePhoto": user.profilePic
});
return true;
} catch (e) {
print(e);
return false;
}
}
Here is HomeController
class HomeController extends GetxController {
final Rxn<List<TodoModel>> todoList = Rxn<List<TodoModel>>([]);
var selectedDate = DateTime.now().obs;
List<TodoModel>? get todos => todoList.value;
#override
void onInit() {
super.onInit();
String? uid = Get.find<AuthController>().auth.currentUser?.uid ?? '';
print(uid);
todoList.bindStream(Database().todoStream(uid));
}
chooseDate() async {
DateTime? pickedDate = await showDatePicker(
context: Get.context!,
initialDate: selectedDate.value,
firstDate: DateTime(2000),
lastDate: DateTime(2024),
//initialEntryMode: DatePickerEntryMode.input,
// initialDatePickerMode: DatePickerMode.year,
);
if (pickedDate != null && pickedDate != selectedDate.value) {
selectedDate.value = pickedDate;
}
}
}
and here is View page
GetX<HomeController>(
init: Get.put<HomeController>(HomeController()),
builder: (HomeController todoController) {
if (todoController.todos != null) {
// print(todoController.todos?.done ?? false);
return Expanded(
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: todoController.todos?.length,
itemBuilder: (_, index) {
return TodoCard(
uid: controller.user.value?.uid ?? '',
todo: todoController.todos![index],
);
},
),
);
} else {
return Text("loading...");
}
},
),
So, I have an error when I register a new user I got this error:
The following assertion was thrown building Builder(dirty):
a document path must be a non-empty string
Failed assertion: line 116 pos 14: ‘path.isNotEmpty’
And here is output from terminal:
The relevant error-causing widget was
GetMaterialApp
lib/main.dart:23
When the exception was thrown, this was the stack
#2 _JsonCollectionReference.doc
#3 Database.todoStream
#4 HomeController.onInit
#5 GetLifeCycleBase._onStart
#6 InternalFinalCallback.call
#7 GetInstance._startController
#8 GetInstance._initDependencies
#9 GetInstance.find
#10 GetInstance.put
#11 Inst.put
So a problem is with this path, and when I reload from the visual studio I god the right user with the right data. So the problem is when I register a user for the first time.
It looks like uid is empty, which you should also be able to see from looking up print(uid); in your output.
When your application or web page loads, Firebase automatically tries to restore the previously signed in user from its local state. This requires that it makes a call to the server however (for example to check if the account has been disabled) and while that call is going on, your main code continues to execute and the currentUser variable is going to be null.
Your code needs to take this into account. The easiest way to do this is to not depend on currentUser, but instead to use an reactively respond to changes in the authentication state as shown in the first example in the documentation on getting the current user:
FirebaseAuth.instance
.authStateChanges()
.listen((User? user) {
if (user != null) {
print(user.uid);
}
});
The authStateChange method here returns a stream that fires an event whenever the authentication state changes, so when the user signs in or signs out. The common way to use this stream is to either set the user to the state of your widget, or to use the stream directly in a StreamBuilder.

The getter 'uid' not defined

i'm trying to create a food track app on android studio, it's my first time and i'm working with firebase_auth 3.3.12. my code in the aut.dart is:
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:my_firstapp/models/user_model.dart';
class AuthService {
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
AuthService();
// create user object based on FirebaseUser.
UserModel _userFromUser(User) {
return user != null ? UserModel(uid: user.uid) : null;
}
// auth change user stream
Stream<UserModel> get user {
return _auth.authStateChanges()
.map(_userFromUser);
}
Future<UserModel> getUser() async {
User user = await _auth.currentUser();
return _userFromUser(user);
}
// sign in with email and password
Future signInWithEmailAndPassword(String email, String password) async {
try {
UserCredential result = await _auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: email, password: password);
User user = result.user;
return _userFromUser(user);
} catch(e) {
print(e.toString());
return null;
}
}
// sign up with email and password
Future registerWithEmailAndPassword(String email, String password) async {
try {
UserCredential result = await _auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email: email, password: password);
User user = result.user;
// create a new user document in database
return _userFromUser(user);
} catch(e) {
print(e.toString());
return null;
}
}
// sign out
Future signOut() async {
try {
return await _auth.signOut();
} catch(e){
print(e.toString());
return null;
}
}
}
However i'm getting 2 errors:
-The getter 'uid' isn't defined for the type 'Stream';
-The expression "await _auth.currentUser()" doesn't evaluate to a function, so it can't be invoked.
How can i rewrite the code? thanks
The _auth.currentUser is not a function (it used to be, but changed about a year ago), but rather a property. It also isn't asynchronous, so you don't need await nor to return a Future.
So:
UserModel getUser() {
User user = _auth.currentUser;
return _userFromUser(user);
}
In this code, your argument is capitalised ('User') but in the code block you write 'user'.
UserModel _userFromUser(User) {
return user != null ? UserModel(uid: user.uid) : null;
}
Furthermore, for _auth.currentUser(), you do not need to use await as it does not return a future.

Flutter - Get Firebase custom claims while writing Firebase user to own user instance

I am trying to implement the example given at How do I access custom claims? to my existing code.
I have a Stream which listens to auth changes and updates my own user object with the responded Firebase user. When I store my user object, I would like to get the custom claims of that user as well.
The problem is in _userFromFirebaseUser.
It says "The await expression can only be used in an async function.
Try marking the function body with either 'async' or 'async*'."
But when I do so, the error is hops to my stream where it then says "The argument type 'Future Function(User)' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'User Function(User)'." for "_userFromFirebaseUser" in
// auth change user stream
Stream<local.User> get user {
return _auth.authStateChanges().map(_userFromFirebaseUser);
}
Here is my complete authentication class:
import 'package:<my-pckg>/models/user.dart' as local;
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart' as auth;
import 'package:<my-pckg>/services/database.dart';
//import 'package:shared_preferences/shared_preferences.dart';
class AuthService {
final auth.FirebaseAuth _auth = auth.FirebaseAuth.instance;
// create user obj based on firebase user
local.User _userFromFirebaseUser(auth.User user) {
final isAdmin = (await _currentUserClaims)['admin'] == true;
return user != null
? local.User(
uid: user.uid,
email: user.email,
displayName: user.displayName,
isAdmin: isAdmin)
: null;
}
// auth change user stream
Stream<local.User> get user {
return _auth.authStateChanges().map(_userFromFirebaseUser);
}
// sign in anon

final user = _auth.currentUser;
// If refresh is set to true, a refresh of the id token is forced.
final idTokenResult = await user.getIdTokenResult(true);

}
}
Am I heading into the wrong direction? Is there anything obvious, that I simply do not consider?
Thanks for your help!
For those, heading into the same problem, I found the solution after further research:
You will have to change the .map to .asyncMap.
Here is the code, which works for me:
import 'package:<my-pckg>/models/user.dart' as local;
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart' as auth;
import 'package:<my-pckg>/services/database.dart';
//import 'package:shared_preferences/shared_preferences.dart';
class AuthService {
final auth.FirebaseAuth _auth = auth.FirebaseAuth.instance;
// create user obj based on firebase user
Future<local.User> _userFromFirebaseUser(auth.User user) async {
final isAdmin = (await _userClaims)['admin'] == true;
return user != null
? local.User(
uid: user.uid,
email: user.email,
displayName: user.displayName,
isAdmin: isAdmin)
: null;
}
// auth change user stream
Stream<local.User> get user {
return _auth.authStateChanges().asyncMap(_userFromFirebaseUser);
}
// sign in anon
Future signInAnon() async {
try {
auth.UserCredential result = await _auth.signInAnonymously();
auth.User user = result.user;
return _userFromFirebaseUser(user);
} catch (e) {
print(e.toString());
return null;
}
}
// sign in with email and password
Future signInWithEmailAndPassword(String email, String password) async {
try {
auth.UserCredential result = await _auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
email: email, password: password);
auth.User user = result.user;
print('Successfully logged in, User UID: ${user.uid}');
return user;
} catch (error) {
print(error.toString());
return null;
}
}
// register with email and password
Future registerWithEmailAndPassword(String email, String password) async {
try {
auth.UserCredential result = await _auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
email: email, password: password);
auth.User user = result.user;
// create a new document for the user with the uid
await DatabaseService(uid: user.uid).updateUserData(null);
print('Successfully registered, User UID: ${user.uid}');
return _userFromFirebaseUser(user);
} catch (error) {
print(error.toString());
return null;
}
}
// sign out
Future signOut() async {
try {
print('User signed out');
return await _auth.signOut();
} catch (error) {
print(error.toString());
return null;
}
}
Future<Map<dynamic, dynamic>> get _userClaims async {
final user = _auth.currentUser;
// If refresh is set to true, a refresh of the id token is forced.
final idTokenResult = await user.getIdTokenResult(true);
return idTokenResult.claims;
}
}

Getting Boolean State from Cloud_Firestore in dart

I'm making an app that needs to display two separate home pages depending on whether or not a counselor value equals true on my Cloud Firestore Database. I am new to Object Oriented Programing, dart, and Firestore so please bear with me.
What I'm trying to do is initialize a variable called counselor and set that equal to the Counselor field value on my database. Then I wish to first check if the user has signed in and if they have signed it that's when I use a series of if statements to see whether or or not the counselor boolean equals true or false. and depending on the result it will display a certain homepage.
I get an error message on my app saying that the I'm returning a null value on my counselor widget. I suspect this is because I'm setting the counselor variable to equal the name of the field Counselor on my database and not it's actual boolean value. Problem is I'm not aware of the syntax to circumvent this problem.
Here is my code

There are lots of problems with your code . First of all you are using Firestore.instance and .document which are deprecated . Use FirebaseFirestore.instance and FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(...).doc(...) instead.
Coming to your code , Use a FutureBuilder to decide which page to show , while deciding , you can show a CircularProgressIndicator to the user.
Next , this code
Firestore.instance.collection('User Data').document('Counselor');
returns a DocumentReference and not the actual value that is required .
So after you get the DocumentReference use .get() which returns a Future<DocumentSnapshot> , DocumentSnapshot class has a method data() which returns Map<String,dynamic>. Once you get the Map<> , you can simply get the data you want by passing the key value.
The whole process would look similar to this :
Future<bool> getCounselorValue() async {
return await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(...).doc(...).get().data()['keyvalue'];
}
Aagain , remember you are dealing with a Future so you have to use either await , .then() or FutureBuilder . I recommend FutureBuilder for your case , if you are not sure how to use it, refer to this . I also answered this which might be helpful if you want to dynamically decide which page to show to user first (refer to first method).
Edit:
Ok , so there was a little mistake in my code .Now I am sharing with you a little more code which you might find helpful .
make your class Stateful from Stateless and follow this code :
class Wrapper extends StatefulWidget{
WrapperState createState()=> WrapperState();
}
class WrapperState extends State<Wrapper>
{
Future<DocumentSnapshot> documentSnapshot;
User getUser(BuildContext context)
{
return Provider.of<User>(context);
}
dynamic getStartingPage(bool counselor,User user)
{
if (user == null){
return Authenticate();
}else if(counselor == true){
return CounselorHome();
}else if(counselor == false){
return Home();
}
}
Future<DocumentSnapshot> getDocumentSnapshotForCounselor() async
{
return await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(...).doc(...).get();
}
bool getCounselorValue(DocumentSnapshot documentSnapshotForCounselor)
{
//modify this by passing proper keyValue to get counselor.
return documentSnapshotForCounselor.data()['keyValue'];
}
#override
void initState()
{
super.initState();
documentSnapshot=getDocumentSnapshotForCounselor();
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return FutureBuilder(
future:documentSnapshot,
builder: (BuildContext ctx, AsyncSnapshot<dynamic> snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState != ConnectionState.done) {
return Center( child : const CircularProgressIndicator());
}
else
return getStartingPage(getCounselorValue(snapshot.data),getUser(context));
}
);
}
}
Modify getDocumentSnapshotForCounselor and getCounselorValue methods ,so that you can get the value of the field from the database.
Upgrade to latest version of cloud_firestore , visit this to understand how to do it and what to import .
Edit 2:
When you sign in user ,either by email password or using google sign in etc. It returns a Future<UserCredential> , UserCredential has a property user , which returns User. Now what we want is, a unique uid of the user which we can get using User.uid :
UserCredential userCredential =await _auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassWord();
String uid= userCredential.user.uid;
Now create an entry for the user in the database using this uid:
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("User Data").doc(uid).set({"Counselor":true,"name":name});
Afterwards , to get the counselor value , :
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("User Data").doc(uid).get();
and
documentSnapshotForCounselor.data()['Counselor'];
The above code is just for an explanation , make appropriate changes to your code.

Flutter passing Firestore UID into repository

For my project, I am using firestore to get the data per user. Therefore I created the following structure in Firestore.
The data is stored in:
Collection: users > Document: UID (variable) > Collection: reminders
In order to get the data from Firestore I need to pass the UID into the repository. My reminder repository doesn't have this data standard therefor I get it via a call to Firebase.
Let me show the code to make it more clear:
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:diabetes/src/model/models.dart';
import 'package:diabetes/src/entities/entities.dart';
import 'package:diabetes/src/repositories/repositories.dart';
class FirebaseRemindersRepository implements RemindersRepository {
final reminderCollection = Firestore.instance.collection("users");
#override
Future<void> addNewReminder(Reminder reminder) async {
try {
final user = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser();
final uid = user.uid;
return reminderCollection
.document(uid)
.collection("reminders")
.add(reminder.toEntity().toDocument());
} catch (error) {
print(error);
}
}
#override
Future<void> deleteReminder(Reminder reminder) async {
try {
final user = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser();
final uid = user.uid;
return reminderCollection
.document(uid)
.collection("reminders")
.document(reminder.id)
.delete();
} catch (error) {
print(error);
}
}
#override
Stream<List<Reminder>> reminders() {
return reminderCollection.snapshots().map((snapshot) {
return snapshot.documents
.map((doc) => Reminder.fromEntity(ReminderEntity.fromSnapshot(doc)))
.toList();
});
}
#override
Future<void> updateReminder(Reminder update) async {
try {
final user = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser();
final uid = user.uid;
return reminderCollection
.document(uid)
.collection("reminders")
.document(update.id)
.updateData(update.toEntity().toDocument());
} catch (error) {
print(error);
}
}
}
As you can see this makes me repeat this part a lot:
final user = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser();
final uid = user.uid;
Also, I am not able to do the same here:
Stream<List<Reminder>> reminders() {
