Issue
suddently from nowhere i came up with provider not re rendering my home page when it’s updated. I’ve inspected it and it IS UPDATED. It has newer data when i change it in firebase but the UI won’t re-render showing the new data. That’s my code:
Main function
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/pages/HomePage/home_page.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/pages/Login/login_page.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/providers/User/user.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await Firebase.initializeApp();
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MultiProvider(
providers: [
ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (_) => UserModel()),
],
child: MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
// is not restarted.
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: const Wrapper(),
),
);
}
}
class Wrapper extends StatelessWidget {
const Wrapper({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return StreamBuilder<User?>(
stream: FirebaseAuth.instance.userChanges(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.active) {
User? user = snapshot.data;
if (user == null) {
return const LoginPage();
}
return StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>(
stream: FirebaseFirestore.instance
.collection('users')
.doc(FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.uid)
.snapshots(),
builder: (context, userSnapshot) {
if (userSnapshot.hasData) {
Provider.of<UserModel>(context, listen: true)
.fromJson(userSnapshot.data!.data());
return const HomePage();
}
return const Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
),
);
});
} else {
return const Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
),
);
}
},
);
}
}
And this is the home page:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/http/auth/user/sign_out.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/pages/Create_Event/create_event_page.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/pages/Onboarding/onboarding_page.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/providers/User/user.dart';
import 'package:my_event_app/widgets/event_card_widget.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const HomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
_HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
}
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Consumer<UserModel>(builder: (context, user, child) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
leading: IconButton(
icon: const Icon(Icons.help_outline, color: Colors.black, size: 30),
onPressed: () {

},

});
}
}
Column _renderEvents(UserModel user) {
return Column(
children: [
for (var event in user.events)
EventCard(
eventId: event,
),
],
);
}
And here’s the provider:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class UserModel extends ChangeNotifier {
String _name = '';
String _surnames = '';
String _uid = '';
String _email = '';
List<dynamic> _events = [];
String get name => _name;
String get surnames => _surnames;
String get uid => _uid;
String get email => _email;
List<dynamic> get events => _events;
UserModel();
set name(String value) {
_name = value;
notifyListeners();
}
set surnames(String value) {
_surnames = value;
notifyListeners();
}
set uid(String value) {
_uid = value;
notifyListeners();
}
set email(String value) {
_email = value;
notifyListeners();
}
set events(List<dynamic> value) {
_events = value;
notifyListeners();
}
void addEvent(String event) {
_events.add(event);
notifyListeners();
}
void removeEvent(String event) {
_events.remove(event);
notifyListeners();
}
void updateUser(String name, String uid) {
name = name;
uid = uid;
notifyListeners();
}
void clearUser() {
_name = '';
_uid = '';
notifyListeners();
}
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
return {
'name': _name,
'surnames': _surnames,
'uid': _uid,
'email': _email,
'events': _events
};
}
fromJson(Object? json) {
try {
Map<dynamic, dynamic> map = json as Map<dynamic, dynamic>;
_name = map['name'];
_surnames = map['surnames'];
_uid = map['uid'];
_email = map['email'];
_events = map['events'];
} catch (e) {
print(e);
}
}
}
```
As you can see i use Consumer in order to read data and i have a change notifier in the begginig, but it won't re render and show for example new name if i change it in fireabase.
Thank you so much!
Solution
You are using fromJson method to update values in UserModel, but it does not call notifyListeners. Add notifyListeners(); to the end of this method:
fromJson(Object? json) {
try {
Map<dynamic, dynamic> map = json as Map<dynamic, dynamic>;
_name = map['name'];
_surnames = map['surnames'];
_uid = map['uid'];
_email = map['email'];
_events = map['events'];
notifyListeners(); // add this
} catch (e) {
print(e);
}
}
Also some other things:
- Consider declaring
class UserModel with ChangeNotifierinstead ofclass UserModel extends ChangeNotifier. fromJsonmethods usually are acting as factory methods, meaning these return a new instance, and don’t set members in an existing instance.- Instead of
Provider.of<UserModel>(context, listen: true).fromJson(userSnapshot.data!.data());you can try:context.read<UserModel>().fromJson(userSnapshot.data!.data());. Here you don’t really need listening, you just want to find the provider and callfromJson. YourConsumeris the one which is listening to the changes accordingly.
