How can I use FlutterFlow's built-in authentication features?

Step 1: Start with Creating an Account

Before you start to implement any built-in authentication features of FlutterFlow, you need to have an account on it. Go to the FlutterFlow website and sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one.

Step 2: Create a New Project

After logging into FlutterFlow, click on the "New Project" button on the Dashboard page. This will take you to the project creation page. Here, enter the name of your project and select the appropriate options for your project.

Step 3: Navigate to the Firebase Tab

After your project is successfully created, you will be redirected to the main editor interface. In this interface, click on the "Firebase" tab found on the left side of the screen. This is where you will be able to configure the Firebase services for your project, including authentication.

Step 4: Enable Firebase for Your Project

Click on the "Enable" button in the Firebase tab. You will need to fill in several fields to configure your Firebase project, including your Firebase API key, Auth Domain, Project ID, Storage Bucket, and App ID. These values can be found in your Firebase project settings on the Firebase console.

Step 5: Setup Authentication Methods

After enabling Firebase on your application, scroll down to find the "Authentication" sub-tab. Here, you will be able to select the authentication methods you want to use for your application. FlutterFlow currently supports Email and Password, Google Sign-In, and Anonymous Sign-In methods. To enable any method, just toggle the switch beside it.

Step 6: Configuring Email and Password Sign-In

If you decide to use the Email and Password Sign-In method, you will need to provide the "Create User" and "Sign In" API calls. The Create User API call is used when a new user wants to create an account while the Sign In API call is used when an existing user wants to log into their account.

Step 7: Configuring Google Sign-In

If you decide to use the Google Sign-In method, you will have to provide the Google Sign-In API call. This API call is used to authenticate your users using their Google accounts.

Step 8: Create Sign In and Sign Up Screens

After successfully setting up your authentication methods, it's time to create UI on your application for signing up and logging in. Navigate back to your project on FlutterFlow and go to the 'Design' tab. Create two new screens - one for signing in and another for signing up.

Step 9: Design the Sign Up Screen

On the sign-up screen, create fields for user information. This typically includes fields for the email, password, and a submit button. Make sure the email and password fields are connected to the corresponding values in your Firebase Authentication setup.

Step 10: Design the Sign In Screen

On the sign-in screen, create fields for entering email and password, along with a button for submission. Make sure that these fields are connected to the corresponding values in your Firebase Authentication setup.

Step 11: Test Your Authentication

Now, you can test your authentication functionality. Click on the "Preview" button in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open your application in the preview mode. From here, you can test signing up and logging into your application to make sure that everything is properly set and your authentication is working correctly.

Now, you have successfully added the built-in authentication features of FlutterFlow in your application.
