| ## Integration patterns | ||
|
|
||
| ### Using firebase_auth directly | ||
|
|
||
| For full control over the authentication UI, use the `firebase_auth` package directly. The basic flow is: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Build your own sign-in UI with text fields and buttons. | ||
| 2. Call Firebase authentication methods (e.g., `signInWithEmailAndPassword`). | ||
| 3. On success, pass the `firebase_auth.User` to `controller.login()`. | ||
| 4. Handle errors from both Firebase and the Serverpod sync. | ||
|
|
||
| Refer to the [firebase_auth documentation](https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_auth) for available authentication methods. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Using firebase_ui_auth | ||
|
|
||
| For a pre-built UI experience, use the `firebase_ui_auth` package. This provides ready-made screens for various authentication methods. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Add the package: `flutter pub add firebase_ui_auth`. | ||
| 2. Use `firebase_ui.SignInScreen` with your desired providers. | ||
| 3. Add `AuthStateChangeAction` handlers for `SignedIn` and `UserCreated` events. | ||
| 4. In each handler, call `controller.login()` with the Firebase user. | ||
|
|
||
| ```dart | ||
| actions: [ | ||
| firebase_ui.AuthStateChangeAction<firebase_ui.SignedIn>((context, state) async { | ||
| final user = firebase_auth.FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser; | ||
| if (user != null) { | ||
| await controller.login(user); | ||
| } | ||
| }), | ||
| ], | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Refer to the [firebase_ui_auth documentation](https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_ui_auth) for configuration details and available providers. |

Suggestion: This section referencing the usage of firebase_ui_auth adds to the first (and may feel redundant by users that read the first one before). It is worth merging the two together instead of separating the explanation.
