I am trying to get a document from a Firestore collection using the following code:
firebase_service.dart:
class FirebaseService {
final firestoreInstance = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
final FirebaseAuth auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
Map<String, dynamic> getProfile(String uid) {
firestoreInstance.collection("Artists").doc(uid).get().then((value) {
return (value.data());
});
}
}
home_view.dart:
Map<String, dynamic> profile =
firebaseService.getProfile(auth.currentUser.uid);
When stepping through the code the profile variable is null in home_view.dart
, but value.data()
in firebase_service.dart contains a map. Is there a reason why this value isn't being returned in home_view.dart
?
This is an async
operation and you have to await
for its value.
For reference, you can take a look here at documentation of how propper authentication and CRUD operations made in Firebase with flutter.
Your code needs a few edits, as the getProfile
function is async
.
class FirebaseService {
final firestoreInstance = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
final FirebaseAuth auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
// set the return type to Future<Map<String, dynamic>>
Future<Map<String, dynamic>> getProfile(String uid) async { // insert async here
/// insert a return and await here
return await firestoreInstance.collection("Artists").doc(uid).get().then((value) =>
return value.data(); // the brackets here aren't needed, so you can remove them
});
}
}
Then finally in home_view.dart
// insert await here:
Map<String, dynamic> profile = await
firebaseService.getProfile(auth.currentUser.uid);
If you plan to use the getProfile
function I suggest you to use a FutureBuilder
. In you home_view.dart
's build
function write this:
return FutureBuilder(
future: firebaseService.getProfile(auth.currentUser.uid),
builder: (context, snapshot){
if (!snapshot.hasData){
return Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator(),);
}
final Map<String, dynamic> profile = snapshot.data.data();
return YourWidgets();
});
And now you don't need to write:
Map<String, dynamic> profile = await
firebaseService.getProfile(auth.currentUser.uid);
