I am creating a userModel instance inside my authController and want to add obs from Getx to that userModel like: Rx<model.User>? userModel = model.User().obs;, but the fields inside my model.User are all required.

How can I pass these parameters if they have not yet been initialized as they will get initialized after the user signs in?

I referred this github:

AuthController code:

class AuthController extends GetxController {
  static AuthController instance = Get.find();
  late Rx<User?> _user;
  // Rx<model.User>? userModel;
  Rx<model.User>? userModel = model.User().obs; //ERROR CAUSING LINE**

  @override
  void onReady() {
    super.onReady();
    _user = Rx<User?>(firebaseAuth.currentUser);
    _user.bindStream(firebaseAuth.authStateChanges());
    ever(_user, _setInitialScreen);
  }

  _setInitialScreen(User? user) {
    if (user == null) {
      Get.offAll(() => LoginScreen());
    } else {
      // userModel?.bindStream(listenToUser());
      Get.offAll(() => const HomeScreen());
      userModel?.bindStream(listenToUser());
      print(userModel);
    }
  }

  // registering the user
  void registerUser(String username, String email, String password) async {
    try {
      if (username.isNotEmpty && email.isNotEmpty && password.isNotEmpty) {
        // save our user to our auth and firebase firestore
        UserCredential cred = await firebaseAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
          email: email,
          password: password,
        );
        model.User user = model.User(
            name: username, email: email, uid: cred.user!.uid, cart: []);
        await firestore
            .collection('users')
            .doc(cred.user!.uid)
            .set(user.toJson());
      } else {
        Get.snackbar(
          'Error Creating Account',
          'Please enter all the fields',
        );
      }
    } catch (e) {
      Get.snackbar(
        'Error Creating Account',
        e.toString(),
      );
    }
  }

  void loginUser(String email, String password) async {
    try {
      if (email.isNotEmpty && password.isNotEmpty) {
        await firebaseAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
            email: email, password: password);
        print('log success');
      } else {
        Get.snackbar(
          'Error Logging in',
          'Please enter all the fields',
        );
      }
    } catch (e) {
      Get.snackbar(
        'Error Logging in',
        e.toString(),
      );
    }
  }

  updateUserData(Map<String, dynamic> data) {
    print("UPDATED");
    firestore.collection('users').doc(_user.value?.uid).update(data);
  }

  Stream<model.User> listenToUser() => firestore
      .collection('users')
      .doc(_user.value?.uid)
      .snapshots()
      .map((snapshot) => model.User.fromSnap(snapshot));
}

User model code:

class User {
  // static const UID = "uid";
  // static const NAME = "name";
  // static const EMAIL = "email";

  String uid;
  String name;
  String email;
  List<CartItemModel> cart;

  User(
      {required this.name,
      required this.email,
      required this.uid,
      required this.cart});

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() =>
      {"name": name, "email": email, "uid": uid, "cart": cart};

  // static User fromSnap(DocumentSnapshot snap) {
  static User fromSnap(DocumentSnapshot snap) {
    var snapshot = snap.data() as Map<String, dynamic>;
    return User(
        name: snapshot['name'],
        email: snapshot['email'],
        uid: snapshot['uid'],
        cart: _convertCartItems(snapshot['cart'] ?? []));
  }

  // List<CartItemModel> _convertCartItems(List cartFromDb) {
  static List<CartItemModel> _convertCartItems(List cartFromDb) {
    List<CartItemModel> _result = [];
    // logger.i(cartFromDb.lengt);
    print(cartFromDb.length);
    cartFromDb.forEach((element) {
      _result.add(CartItemModel.fromMap(element));
    });
    return _result;
  }
}

CodePudding user response：

Add ? operator to tell explicity that the object can be null.

So the code goes like:

class User {

  String? uid;
  String? name;
  String? email;
  List<CartItemModel>? cart;

}
