User Information after signing in.

[rxxxxxxb]

Thank you for sharing this amazing repo.

Just a quick request/question.

• How do I show user information after signing in?

The easiest way would be to wrap your HomePage with a Provider<User>, and return this in the LandingPage:

Provider<User>.value(
  value: user,
  child: HomePage(),
)

Then, in the HomePage or any descendent widgets, you can access it with Provider.of<User>(context).

Thansks for this great example of providers, I'm trying to get my head around this. It works fine for HomePage to get access to the user like that, but when I push a named route and try to access the user data I get Ensure the Provider is an ancestor to this Page2 Widget, what am I messing up here?

@urbanmania this happens because when you use Navigator.push, the new route is added as a child of the MaterialApp, and this is not a child of the LandingPage.

See the EmailPasswordSignInPage in this diagram for an example of this:

One solution is to call Provider.of<User>(context) before pushing the new route, and injecting the User as a constructor argument to the new widget.

@urbanmania see #39 which moves the auth StreamBuilder above the MaterialApp. This should fix any problems with Providers not found.
