Provide Stream for Current Authenticated User's State #2654

Open georgiossalon opened 1 year ago

georgiossalon commented 1 year ago

Description

Are you going to provide a Stream to get the current state of the authenticated user?

I only did find on the following page https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/auth/auth-events/q/platform/flutter/ the auth-events. This is though a StreamSubscription.

If not then could you elaborate why?

Firebase has the following function .authStateChanges() offering this feature.

Hi @georgiossalon - we do not have any plans to add this currently, but I will discuss it with the team and get back to you.

While we investigate supporting this, the current workaround is to use the availableStreams getter on Amplify.Hub like this:

final Stream<AuthUser?> userStream = Amplify.Hub.availableStreams[HubChannel.Auth]!
        .cast<AuthHubEvent>()
        .map((event) => event.payload);
