When developing a Flutter app that uses Firebase authentication, it’s important to manage the app’s flow based on the user’s login sessions. There are two methods to check if a user is logged in using Firebase Auth.
FirebaseAuth provides the authStateChanges() method, which returns a stream of the current user’s authentication state. This stream is automatically triggered whenever a user logs in or out, eliminating the need to manually handle the state.
StreamBuilder<User?>(
stream: FirebaseAuth.instance.authStateChanges(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
return Text(
"User Detail: ${snapshot.data != null ? snapshot.data?.email : "User not found"}”
);
}),
Another approach is to utilize the currentUser property provided by FirebaseAuth. This property returns the currently authenticated user. If the currentUser is null, it means the user is logged out; otherwise, the user is currently logged in.
Text(
"User Detail: ${FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser != null ? FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.email : "User not found"}"
),
