🔑 User Authentication (Google)
Sign in to the application with Google
Note: If you experience issues with Google Auth, revisit the Firebase Setup section to ensure the SHA fingerprint has been setup on your local machine.
Auth Service
Create an auth service to isolate the business logic for Firebase authentication methods and user management.
auth.dart
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:google_sign_in/google_sign_in.dart';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'dart:async';
class AuthService {
final GoogleSignIn _googleSignIn = GoogleSignIn();
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
final Firestore _db = Firestore.instance;
// Firebase user one-time fetch
Future<FirebaseUser> get getUser => _auth.currentUser();
// Firebase user a realtime stream
Stream<FirebaseUser> get user => _auth.onAuthStateChanged;
/// Sign in with Google
Future<FirebaseUser> googleSignIn() async {
try {
GoogleSignInAccount googleSignInAccount = await _googleSignIn.signIn();
GoogleSignInAuthentication googleAuth =
await googleSignInAccount.authentication;
final AuthCredential credential = GoogleAuthProvider.getCredential(
accessToken: googleAuth.accessToken,
idToken: googleAuth.idToken,
);
AuthResult result = await _auth.signInWithCredential(credential);
FirebaseUser user = result.user;
// Update user data
updateUserData(user);
return user;
} catch (error) {
print(error);
return null;
}
}
/// Anonymous Firebase login
Future<FirebaseUser> anonLogin() async {
AuthResult result = await _auth.signInAnonymously();
FirebaseUser user = result.user;
updateUserData(user);
return user;
}
/// Updates the User's data in Firestore on each new login
Future<void> updateUserData(FirebaseUser user) {
DocumentReference reportRef = _db.collection('reports').document(user.uid);
return reportRef.setData({'uid': user.uid, 'lastActivity': DateTime.now()},
merge: true);
}
// Sign out
Future<void> signOut() {
return _auth.signOut();
}
}
Current User with Provider
Access the current user with Provider.
main.dart
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MultiProvider(
providers: [
StreamProvider<FirebaseUser>.value(value: AuthService().user)
],
child: MaterialApp(
