useContext() returns null value

Time:08-14

I am trying to use useContext to get the current logged in user details. I am getting an error in my console which says:

Uncaught TypeError: user is null
    children Animate.jsx:79
    Animate Animate.jsx:76

I am getting this error whenever I Logout. I am facing no errors in the console when I am logged in. Here is the code:

Context.js File:

import { onAuthStateChanged } from "firebase/auth";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { createContext } from "react";
import { auth } from "./firebase";

export const Context = createContext()

const ContextProviderfunc=({children})=>{
    const use={
        "mail":'history'
    }

    const [user,setuser]=useState({});
    useEffect(()=>{
        const unsubscribe = onAuthStateChanged(auth,(currentUser)=>{
            // console.log(currentUser);
            setuser(currentUser);
        })
        return ()=>{
            unsubscribe();
        }
    },[])

    return(
        <Context.Provider value={user}>
            {children}
        </Context.Provider>
    )
}

export default ContextProviderfunc

These two files I think are needed to debug. If any more code is needed I will provide it. Please find out the issue in the above code

CodePudding user response:

Whenever the user logs out, value of currentUser will become null in here:

onAuthStateChanged(auth,(currentUser)=>{
        // console.log(currentUser);
        setuser(currentUser); // currentUser is null
    })

Since you are updating the state (setuser), The Context Provider rerenders and passes down null as value.

 return(
    <Context.Provider value={user}> // user is null, and is being passed down
        {children}
    </Context.Provider>
)

Within Animate you receive the null value.

    const user=useContext(Context)  // user is null, after loging out.

Long story short, user is at times null within Animate, so you don't have the guarantee to use properties like email, like this line below:

if(user.email==object.email){
   console.log(user.email);

The solution: Wherever you need to use user, first check if it equals to null.

CodePudding user response:

If you set logged out user ti be null, you should not expect to retrieve email address of null. You should check (read from context) if user still logged in.

For example :

if(user) {
    return <div>I am logged in user and my email is {user.email} </div>
}

return <div>You are not logged In </div> 

Specific to your case: check first user and then user.email to avoid Uncaught TypeError: user is null if(user && user.email === object.email) .....

This is just a friendly suggestion, which is not related with your question: Use ===instead of == for for information you can read this page
