Angular retrieving data problems ( Cannot read property 'uid' of null )












3















I'm making a web application in where I have an authorisation button for GitHub, which gets access to the personal GitHub repositories. These repositories will be displayed on the web app.



import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {DataService} from '../../services/data/data.service';
import {AuthService} from '../../services/auth/auth.service';
import {DatabaseService} from '../../services/share/database.service';
import {AuthdataDto} from '../../services/dto/authdata.dto';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Component({
selector: 'app-repositories',
templateUrl: './repositories.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./repositories.component.sass']
})
export class RepositoriesComponent implements OnInit {

repositories: Object;
authData: AuthdataDto;
//loggedin: boolean;


constructor(private data: DataService, public authService:
AuthService, private dbService: DatabaseService) { }

ngOnInit() {
this.getSomething().subscribe(data => {
this.data.getrepositories(this.authService.token,
this.authService.username)});
}

getSomething(){
return this.dbService.getFromDatabase('user',
this.authService.userDetails.uid).pipe(
map((data => {this.authData = data})));
}
}


this is the error i get
I'm trying to retrieve all data first by the doSomething() method within my component and after that has been done the ngOnInit() method should get the repositories. However That is not working.



Any suggestions?



Edit: This is the AuthService class.

check your .subscribe(). If you peer close you might notice that "data" is grayed out, meaning it's never used.

The error seems to be clear, "cannot read prorperty 'uid' of null"
Inside your "getSomething" you are calling "this.authService.userDetails.uid" where "userDetails" is null, can you check if "userDetails" have a value ?



EDIT



In your service you are getting User but user is null so you are setting userDetails null too, look here :



this._user.subscribe(
(user) => {
if (user) {
this._userDetails = user;
} else {

// Put a breakpoint here
this._userDetails = null;
}
}


EDIT 2



Ok I suggest you to make your _user public or create a new subject which represent the original _user observable ( but it's already what you are doing by setting "_user = afAuth.authState");



If you do this, you will able to know the state of the observable and then wait for you "user" data to be retrieved before call other methods.



You can use the "switchMap" operator like this :



Component



getSomething(){
return this.authService.user$.pipe(
switchMap(userData =>
this.dbService.getFromDatabase('user', userData.uid)),
map(data => {this.authData = data}));
}


}

  • users are retrieved async from firebase, the RepositoriesComponent should wait until the user data is retrieved. Until then it returns null. I want RepositoriesComponent to check and wait for user data first and then after it has retrieved that data, then do - getRepositories() with the given userdetails.

    – Krelis
    Nov 28 '18 at 9:55













  • @Krelis again updated, because you have dependency between 2 service composed by privates observable it's hard to tell when one is finished, so the goal is to define an accessible reference to the observable without re-execute any recuperation of data but just chain your exec with your dependencies

Ok I suggest you to make your _user public or create a new subject which represent the original _user observable ( but it's already what you are doing by setting "_user = afAuth.authState");



If you do this, you will able to know the state of the observable and then wait for you "user" data to be retrieved before call other methods.



You can use the "switchMap" operator like this :



Component



getSomething(){
return this.authService.user$.pipe(
switchMap(userData =>
this.dbService.getFromDatabase('user', userData.uid)),
map(data => {this.authData = data}));
}


}

  • users are retrieved async from firebase, the RepositoriesComponent should wait until the user data is retrieved. Until then it returns null. I want RepositoriesComponent to check and wait for user data first and then after it has retrieved that data, then do - getRepositories() with the given userdetails.

  • @Krelis again updated, because you have dependency between 2 service composed by privates observable it's hard to tell when one is finished, so the goal is to define an accessible reference to the observable without re-execute any recuperation of data but just chain your exec with your dependencies

The error seems to be clear, "cannot read prorperty 'uid' of null"
Inside your "getSomething" you are calling "this.authService.userDetails.uid" where "userDetails" is null, can you check if "userDetails" have a value ?



EDIT



In your service you are getting User but user is null so you are setting userDetails null too, look here :



this._user.subscribe(
(user) => {
if (user) {
this._userDetails = user;
} else {

// Put a breakpoint here
this._userDetails = null;
}
}
