How to get the ID token from FirebaseAuth

Question

I am reading some Json files from my firebase database and I am trying to obtain an ID token for the current user to be used in the header as follows:

 var respo         


        

Answer 1

getIdToken() returns a Future - you have to await it to actually get the token string:

var token = await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser().getIdToken();
var response = await httpClient.get(url,headers: {'Authorization':"Bearer $token"});
