displaying only the current user data - flutter

Question

I protected data_service with current user to only display the current user's habits.
data_service.dart:
class DataService {...
late final Database db;
Users? _user;
late final StreamData<Map<int, Habit>> habits;
Future<void> init() async {
db = await HabitsDb.connectToDb();
habits = StreamData(initialValue: await _getAllHabits(), broadcast: true);
}
String get userEmail => AuthService.firebase().currentUser!.email;
Future<Map<int, Habit>> _getAllHabits() async {
getOrCreateUser(email: userEmail); //issue
final habits = await _getAllHabitsFromDb();
final map = Map<int, Habit>();
final currentUser = _user;
print(currentUser);
for (final habit in habits) {
if (currentUser != null) {
print(currentUser.id);
print(habit.userId);
if (habit.userId == currentUser.id) {
map[habit.id] = habit;
}
}
//map[habit.userId] = currentUser?.id;
}
return map;
}
Future<List<Habit>> _getAllHabitsFromDb() async {
final habitsMap = await HabitsDb.getAllHabits(db);
final habitsList = habitsMap.map((e) => Habit.fromDb(e)).toList();
return habitsList;
}
Future<Users> getOrCreateUser({
required String email,
bool setAsCurrentUser = true,
}) async {
try {
//we found the user
final user = await getUser(email: email);
if (setAsCurrentUser) {
_user = user;
}
print(_user?.email);
return user;
} on CouldNotFindUser {
//we didn't find the user
final createdUser = await createUser(email: email);
if (setAsCurrentUser) {
_user = createdUser;
}
return createdUser;
} catch (e) {
rethrow;
}
}
...}
in main class:
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await Firebase.initializeApp();
final dataService = DataService();
await dataService.init();
GetIt.I.registerSingleton(dataService);
... }
StreamData class:
class StreamData<T> {
List<Habit> _notes = [];
User? _user;
late final StreamController<T> _controller;
Stream<T> get stream => _controller.stream;
late T _value;
T get value => _value;
StreamData({required T initialValue, bool broadcast = true}) {
if (broadcast) {
_controller = StreamController<T>.broadcast();
} else {
_controller = StreamController<T>();
}
_value = initialValue;
}
the problem is that the line getOrCreateUser(email: userEmail); is only called once and it does not work when I switch user and I need to Hot Restart to fix it. I think using Futurebuilder will fix it. but if yes, how do I use it when there is a need to call dataService.init at the beginning of the main?

Answer 1

Since your getOrCreateUser function is declared as async, you'll want to use await when you call it in _getAllHabits:
await getOrCreateUser(email: userEmail)
This ensures the getOrCreateUser code has completed before the rest of the code in _getAllHabits (that depends on the result of getOrCreateUser) executes.
