Introduction of flutter_auth_ui.
Hi, Flutter app developers.
How are you? I’m fine. 😸
Do you like to creating sign-in screen? Do you want to implement Twitter login on Google, Apple and Facebook?
If you already Android/iOS app developer, you want to use FirebaseUI.
Unfortunately, with FlutterFire, the Firebase UI is still in a “discussion” state.
So, I released flutter_auth_ui 🎉
flutter_auth_ui only provides to call the sing up screen of the Firebase UI. Yes. There is no function to handle sign-out or user information.
The features of flutter_auth_ui are the following three.
- Support Web, Android and iOS
- Do not implement extra features
- Simplify maintenance
FirebaseUI has many functions. So some flutter plugins tried to implement them. However, this policy increases maintenance costs and stops library updates.
flutter_auth_ui is not intended to implement many features, as it reduces the impact of platform-specific differences and library updates. For example, probably because of the different maintainers, the details of the error are slightly different. It makes difficult for flutter_auth_ui to return an error like firebase_auth.
If you feel that flutter_auth_ui is lacking in functionality, first consider using the firebase_auth library. firebase_auth is officially maintained and is a much more popular library than flutter_auth_ui.
flutter_auth_ui will be closed once the FirebaseUI is officially supported. It’s a short time (hopefully), but I hope this library helps with development. Thank you.
