How to get the current user id from Firebase in Flutter
1
I am trying this -
final Future<FirebaseUser> user = auth.currentUser();
but the problem is that instead of making a document by the "userid" it is making a document by the name of -
Instance of 'Future<FirebaseUser>'
This is literally my documents name right now, but I want to make it the userid specifically.
What should I do?

uid is a property of FirebaseUser object. Since auth.currentUser() return a future, you have to await in order to get the user object like this:
void inputData() async {
final FirebaseUser user = await auth.currentUser();
final uid = user.uid
// here you write the codes to input the data into firestore
}
