[SOLVED] Firebase User Doesn't Have Constructor?

Firebase User Doesn't Have Constructor?

I'm working with Flutter/Dart and Firebase. I'm using provider to grab Firebase user info and I'm seeing this error:

The class 'User' doesn't have a default constructor.
Try using one of the named constructors defined in 'User'.

The code causing the issue is:

providers: [
        ChangeNotifierProvider<AuthProvider>(create: (_) => AuthProvider()),
        StreamProvider<User>.value(
          initialData: User(
            name: 'Friend',
            uid: '0',
          ),
          value: FirebaseAuth.instance.authStateChanges(),
          // initialData: ,
        ),

I don't have a user class. The User class is coming from Firebase so how could I possibly add a constructor to it? Is there a way to get around this constructor error in the initialData field?

There's a UserInfo class that has a constructor. But, when I try using that, I can't set any default values for the fields. I'm getting The named parameter 'uid' isn't defined. Try correcting the name to an existing named parameter's name, or defining a named parameter with the name 'uid'

Solution

So, if I change the initialData value to the following, the errors disappear. Not sure why this works to be honest seems to me like it should cause some errors, but it's not so I'll roll with it for now.

StreamProvider<User>.value(
          initialData: FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser,
          value: FirebaseAuth.instance.authStateChanges(),
          // initialData: ,
        ),
