its called inherited widget, there is a lot method to make your entire app authenticated, not just one class. make a stream builder, listen firebase_auth.authStateChanges() or you can use a package ( state management ) : like flutter_bloc [LINK] or i prefer goRouter [LINK] check this video, its chris itself explain how to use it [this video] , its even better; work at flutter web too take look at mine for your reference : import 'dart:ui'; import 'package:cms_prototype/auth/auth.dart'; import 'package:cms_prototype/home/home.dart'; import 'package:cms_prototype/login/login.dart'; import 'package:cms_prototype/theme.dart'; import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart'; import 'package:flutter/

according to this official video from author of go_router package : Flutter Navigator 2.0 made easy with go_router [this video] and this Flutter Navigator 2.0: Using go_router [LINK] complete guide , I implemnted go_router in my app. However, I'm having a strange problem. Everything works properly the first time I run my app. I can fetch user information from the server and send them to the home page. However, I'm getting an issue regarding fetching data after restarting my app. Would you please tell me why I'm receiving this error? this my main.dart : void main() async { WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); final sharedPrefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance(); runApp(MyApp(sharedPrefs

So after further investigation the multiple calls of the rautes are due to the / notation. So basically I removed the /auth from all the routes to prevent the multiple calls. Also I set the initial route and the one that leads to AuthOverviewPage to "/" (so they are default routes). Now the routes and its Widgets are only called once. However I decided to switch to go_router [this video] as it fits my usecases and also seems to be a "newer" pattern.
