Getting Current Stream User Issue about stream-feed-flutter HOT 22 CLOSED

Hi, @rlee1990. We will release a new version soon to make this a bit more clear.

Before calling .currentUser you now need to set a user first, using streamClient.setUser(User('id', data: data), 'user-token');

from stream-feed-flutter.

@HayesGordon I did that and I still get a null user:

streamClient.setUser(
        feed.User(id: u, data: {
          'name': currentUser.data!.value.name,
          'image': currentUser.data!.value.currentProfileImage
        }),
        feed.Token(currentUser.data!.value.currentToken!));

from stream-feed-flutter.

@sachaarbonel Any idea at to what the issue could be?

from stream-feed-flutter.

Hey sorry for the late response. As @HayesGordon said we did a change in this release (0.4.0) to be able to swap a User token at runtime (think of using a different profile for example) without instantiating StreamFeedClient again.
I think the reason why you have an error is that you try to setUser with data from currentUser (currentUser.data etc), but currentUser is not "set" yet. Maybe try to hardcode the value of name, image and token and see if it works

from stream-feed-flutter.

@sachaarbonel sorry for the confusion the currentUser in the code above is from Firebase which I get from a riverpod provider. I have confirmed that that information is coming in and that the setUser function is running.

from stream-feed-flutter.

oh, I see. Are you awaiting setUser? It's a future now, so might be it

from stream-feed-flutter.

@sachaarbonel Yes I am.
I set the setUser up in a FutureProvider for Riverpod.
The watch it here:

return watch(streamUser).when(
              data: (sUser) {
                final streamClient = context.read(client);
                switch (data.currentAccount) {
                  case 'personal':
                    return ScreenTypeLayout(
                      mobile: TabView(
                        currentUser: data,
                        streamClient: streamClient!,
                      ),
                    );
                  default:
                    return ScreenTypeLayout(
                      mobile: TabView(
                        currentUser: data,
                        streamClient: streamClient!,
                      ),
                    );
                }
              },

from stream-feed-flutter.

So sUser is null inside your data callback?

from stream-feed-flutter.

@sachaarbonel nope this is what it returns:
I/flutter (25177): SUser data: StreamUser(ytmORLAvAiWvYGt2jyL2GzeENMc2_personal, 2021-08-19 16:59:15.430621Z)

from stream-feed-flutter.

It looks like the data might be coming back as null. I can call

final u = widget.streamClient
        .user('${widget.user.uid}_${widget.user.currentAccount}');

With me putting in the username and trying to print u.data it returns null.

from stream-feed-flutter.

Any update on this?

from stream-feed-flutter.

Hey, @rlee1990 sorry I thought you meant User was null. The underlying data is. A workaround is to call profile just after you setUser

from stream-feed-flutter.

@sachaarbonel when you say call profile is this a get stream function?

from stream-feed-flutter.

Nevermind

from stream-feed-flutter.

yes it's a method from StreamUser
await currentUser.profile()

from stream-feed-flutter.

I am still having an issue. @sachaarbonel is there an example anywhere so I can try to compare?

from stream-feed-flutter.

I tried a few more times and still get the same issue I don't think the current user is being set.

Any update @HayesGordon or @sachaarbonel I can't seem to find a solution.

from stream-feed-flutter.

Hi @sachaarbonel any other recommendations?

from stream-feed-flutter.

It looks like the data might be coming back as null. I can call

final u = widget.streamClient
        .user('${widget.user.uid}_${widget.user.currentAccount}');

With me putting in the username and trying to print u.data it returns null.

@rlee1990 , After setting the user successfully, you should use
client.currentUser to get the connected user.

client.user is used to create a new user instance. that's why user.data returns null.

Hi @xsahil03x Im still having the same issue

from stream-feed-flutter.

This is my riverpod provider:

final streamUser = FutureProvider.autoDispose((ref) async {
  final streamClient = ref.read(client);
  final currentUser = ref.watch(userAccount);
  if (streamClient != null && currentUser.asData!.value.uid != null) {
    print('Feed User set.');
    var u =
        '${currentUser.asData!.value.uid}_${currentUser.asData!.value.currentAccount}';
    final user = await streamClient.setUser(
        feed.User(
          id: u,
        ),
        feed.Token(currentUser.asData!.value.currentToken!));
    await streamClient.currentUser!.profile();
    return user;
  }
  return Future.value();
});

and the function where I first get a user:

widget.streamClient.currentUser!.get().then((value) {
      var data = value.data;
      
      setState(() {
        image = data!['photo'] as String;
        name = data['name'] as String;
      });
      fetchStories();
    });
