With a phpMySQL background, I'm a little bit lost.
I've successfully created a registration process with Flutter and Firebase Auth (simple email/password method) following a tutorial.
I would like add a "username" and "age" field to the registration form.
In Firebase I've created a database called "users", and in it a String typed "userid" that's blank. But is it even necessary? What do I do next? How is it mapped to the User UID in the authentication table? How do I push it and retrieve it with Flutter?
I've explored this post to no avail Add extra User Information with firebase
If that helps, my authentication file contains this:
class Auth implements BaseAuth {
final FirebaseAuth _firebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
Future<String> signIn(String email, String password) async {
FirebaseUser user = await _firebaseAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(
email: email, password: password);
return user.uid;
}
Future<String> signUp(String email, String password) async {
FirebaseUser user = await _firebaseAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
email: email, password: password);
return user.uid;
}
Have tried this:
Future<String> signUp(String email, String password) async {
FirebaseUser user = await _firebaseAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
email: email, password: password);
Firestore.instance.collection('users').document().setData({ 'userid': user.uid, 'displayName': 'bobby' });
return user.uid;
}
But it throws an error:
5.17.0 - [Firebase/Firestore][I-FST000001] Write at users/-L_6e1CFkU1YchxsSPay failed: Missing or insufficient permissions.
