new user sign up about firebase_auth_ui HOT 7 CLOSED

timestamp can't be used to determine new user as I read they aren't reliable sometime. However I do believe the metadata can be useful to others so I'll definitely look into exposing them as well.

Hi, unfortunately it looks like it's not possible to determine that directly. But since the plugin returns UID of user, you can query your firestore database to see if the user with same UID exists or not. And if not, you can insert the user data. I'll see if there's some way I can expose the boolean with FirebaseUser.

But this will cost firestore extra reads every time an user sign in

Yes that can be a problem. I checked again and I see there's hope for Android but couldn't find if iOS's native SDK exposes such boolean. Will keep you posted if I find something :)

@cyberlahy I can confirm there's way to determine new users without querying for both the platforms. Will add a boolean property in my next update. Thanks for bringing this to attention.

I see that metadata contains creationTime and lastSignInTime (same value if new user), if you can expose metadata inside FirebaseUser.
Maybe someone needs the client's join date in their app also
thanks
