Hello All,
I have a question about the best practice on when to fetch some data related to the authenticated user. I have a user data collection which stores users address and some settings used through out the app. When the app loads i check for auth and then i need to get the data. I have a redirect set up in the router which will detect any changes in auth and go to the correct route.
authenticated,
unauthenticated,
}
final authController =
StateNotifierProvider<AuthProvider, AuthStatus>((ref) => AuthProvider(ref));
class AuthProvider extends StateNotifier<AuthStatus> {
AuthProvider(this.ref) : super(AuthStatus.unauthenticated);
final Ref ref;
late User _currentUser;
User get currentUser => _currentUser;
Future<AuthStatus> getUser() async {
final account = ref.read(appwriteAccountProvider);
try {
final user = await account.get();
_currentUser = user;
state = AuthStatus.authenticated;
///// Should I get the data here?? ////
return AuthStatus.authenticated;
} on AppwriteException catch (e) {
state = AuthStatus.unauthenticated;
return AuthStatus.unauthenticated;
}
}
}```
```redirect: (context, state) async {
final auth = await ref.read(authController.notifier).getUser();
final bool loggingIn = state.matchedLocation == '/signin';
final isGoingSignUp = state.matchedLocation == '/signup';
if (auth == AuthStatus.unauthenticated) {
return '/signin';
}
if (isGoingSignUp && auth == AuthStatus.authenticated) {
return '/';
}
if (loggingIn) {
return '/';
}
/// User is authenticated goto destination
return null;
}```
