Need example or solution idea about GetMiddleware implementation with FirebaseAuth

[furatamasensei]

Hi guys! I need help with auth middleware implementation using firebase_auth. I have tried so many attempts but none is working. The problem with my current implementation is that the user is redirecting to the login page everytime the app is reopened or the browser was refreshed.

My current middleware implementation looks like this, and what I know is the currentUser is always giving me a null result on page load.

auth_middleware.dart

class AuthMiddleware extends GetMiddleware {
  @override
  int? get priority => 0;

  @override
  RouteSettings? redirect(String? route) {
    return FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser != null
        ? null
        : RouteSettings(name: Routes.AUTH);
  }
}

app_pages.dart

class AppPages {
  AppPages._();

  static const INITIAL = Routes.AUTH;

  static final routes = [
    GetPage(
      name: _Paths.HOME,
      page: () => HomeView(),
      binding: HomeBinding(),
      middlewares: [
        AuthMiddleware(),
      ],
    ),
    GetPage(
      name: _Paths.AUTH,
      page: () => AuthView(),
      binding: AuthBinding(),
      middlewares: [
        GuestMiddleware(),
      ],
    ),
  ];
}

I once tried to use GetxService but it sometimes throws a navigation without context error when I tried to run the app.
The user getter is also always giving me null. What I really get from this method is this happening because the authStateChanges stream is triggering the ever worker, eventhough the value is the same (null). I am wondering if I could do something to make the ever worker not triggering in at the very first time the stream is binded. Can we do that?

auth_service.dart

class AuthService extends GetxService {
  static AuthService get instance => Get.find();

  final _firebaseUser = Rxn<User>();

  model.User? get user {
    if (_firebaseUser() == null) return null;
    return model.User.fromFirebaseUser(_firebaseUser()!);
  }

  Future<AuthService> init() async {
    _firebaseUser.bindStream(FirebaseAuth.instance.authStateChanges());
    ever(_firebaseUser, _redirectIfUnauthenticated);
    return this;
  }

  void _redirectIfUnauthenticated(User? state) {
    if (state == null) Get.offAllNamed(Routes.AUTH);
  }
}

auth_middleware.dart

class AuthMiddleware extends GetMiddleware {
  @override
  int? get priority => 0;

  @override
  RouteSettings? redirect(String? route) {
    return AuthService.instance.user != null
        ? null
        : RouteSettings(name: Routes.AUTH);
  }
}

main.dart

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  await Get.putAsync(() => FirebaseService().init());
  await Get.putAsync(() => LoggerService().init());
  await Get.putAsync(() => AuthService().init());

  runApp(MyApp());
}

I really appreciate any kind of help from the community! ><

This works for with hot reload, as the user seems to be re-registered at some point and is not NULL.

sub = _firebaseAuth.authStateChanges().listen((User? user) {  
  if (user != null) {
    Get.offNamed( YOUR_ROUTE );
  }
});
