I do have a react with firebase project. So I successfully able to login the user via firebase authentication. What I want to do is to set the user details in all pages. I thought, I can able to access the user variables in react everywhere like laravel's Auth::user() . But I tried in so many ways to achieve that. But I couldn't able to get the user details in another page. Is there any way to get the user details in another page ?

My signin.js page .

  handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    firebase.auth().signInWithEmailAndPassword(this.state.email, this.state.password).then((user) => {
      alert("login success")
      console.log(user.user)
      this.setState({uid:user.user.uid})
      localStorage.setItem('uid',JSON.stringify(user.user))
      window.location.assign('/')
      }).catch(function(error) {
            console.log(error.code)
            alert(error.message)
        })
      }

My dashboard.js page where I want to access user variables .

  componentDidMount() {
    if(localStorage.getItem('uid')){
      //alert("welcome"+localStorage.getItem('uid'));
      this.setState({user : JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('uid'))})
      console.log("this : "+localStorage.getItem('uid'))
    }
  }

var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
var name, email, photoUrl, uid, emailVerified;

if (user != null) {
  name = user.displayName;
  email = user.email;
  photoUrl = user.photoURL;
  emailVerified = user.emailVerified;
  uid = user.uid;  // The user's ID, unique to the Firebase project. Do NOT use
                   // this value to authenticate with your backend server, if
                   // you have one. Use User.getToken() instead.
}

you can use currentUser method on firebase.auth() callback to fetch user details. If you are signing in using frontend firebase package then this is no issue, whether you call this on the same page or any other page
