I tried to navigate admin user to a special page by using following code bu it gives the NoSuchMethodError
this is the code
class Home extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final user = Provider.of<User>(context);
return StreamBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>(
stream: Firestore.instance.collection('users').document(user.uid).snapshots(),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<DocumentSnapshot> snapshot){
if(snapshot.hasError){
return Text('Error: ${snapshot.error}');
}
switch(snapshot.connectionState){
case ConnectionState.waiting: return Loading();
default:
return checkRole(snapshot.data);
}
},
);
}
Widget checkRole(DocumentSnapshot snapshot){
if(snapshot.data['category']=='admin'){
return AproveNotice();
}else{
return HomePage();
}
}
}
this is the error I had
The method '[]' was called on null. Receiver: null Tried calling: []("category")
Your snapshot.data
object is null
here:
if(snapshot.data['category']=='admin'){
And that's because snapshot data will be null if the object doesn't exist. Google suggests checking that it exists
first:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/firestore/DocumentSnapshot
If the DocumentSnapshot points to a non-existing document, getData() and its corresponding methods will return null. You can always explicitly check for a document's existence by calling exists().
