Best way to get user roles

[bekirtaskin]

Hello,

I am trying to get user roles. Roles are defined in JWT, but cannot find any role related attribute in Credential.

Thanks in advance

I think this is something not relevant to this package thus needed to be done on your side. You can use jwt_decoder or you could parse it yourself.

The access token retrieved from authentication could be used to retrieve the needed information.

Map<String, dynamic> userProfile = JwtDecoder.decode(token.accessToken);

Then you could convert this map to a dart class and retrieve the roles.

import 'package:json_annotation/json_annotation.dart';

part 'user_profile.g.dart';

@JsonSerializable()
class UserProfile {
  @JsonKey(name: 'Name')
  final String? name;
  @JsonKey(name: 'Surname')
  final String? surname;
  @JsonKey(name: 'Email')
  final String? email;
  @JsonKey(name: 'role')
  final List<String>? roles;

  UserProfile({
    this.name,
    this.surname,
    this.email,
    this.roles,
  });

  factory UserProfile.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) =>
      _$UserProfileFromJson(json);

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$UserProfileToJson(this);
}

UserProfile profile = UserProfile.fromJson(userProfile);
bool isRoleExists = profile.roles?.contains("your:permission");

Thank you. I was hoping for some mapping in the plugin but this will do.
