I'am trying to show the datas from my firestore database into my user profile I made a separate class to get the datas. Now I'm having trouble on how to display it or call the class so that I can show the specific datas in the UI of my User Profile Screen. here is my database management class

class DatabaseManagement {

 final FirebaseFirestore _database = FirebaseFirestore.instance;

Future getVisitorDetails({required String uid}) async {
final CollectionReference userList =
    _database.collection('userList');
try {
  DocumentSnapshot ds = await userList.doc(uid).get();
  String firstname = ds.get('firstName');
  String lastname = ds.get('lastName');
  String email = ds.get('email');
  String? phoneNumber = ds.get('phoneNumber');
  String address = ds.get('address');


return [firstname, lastname, email, phoneNumber, address];
} catch (e) {
  print(e.toString());
  return null;
}
}

Here is my Profile Screen where the datas should be displayed

class ProfileScreen extends StatefulWidget {


const ProfileScreen({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
 @override


State<StatefulWidget> createState() => _ProfileScreenState();


class _ProfileScreenState extends State<ProfileScreen> {
String firstName,
String lastName,
String email,
String? phoneNumber,
String address,
String uid,

          Container(
        constraints: const BoxConstraints(
          minWidth: 250,
          maxWidth: 350,
        ),
        child: Column(
          children: [
            detailsWidget(
              icon: Icons.person,
              field: 'Full Name',
              value: name,
            ),
            detailsWidget(
              icon: Icons.email_rounded,
              field: 'Email',
              value: email,
            ),
            detailsWidget(
              icon: Icons.phone,
              field: 'Phone Number',
              value: phoneNumber,
            ), }

I would recommend to write a User class that holds your 6 String properties (firstname, lastname,...) and contains a factory User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) constructor. Then you can adjust your call DocumentSnapshot ds = await userList.doc(uid).get(); with a withConverter(fromFirestore: _, toFirestore: _) call (check below) and return snapshot.data() afterwards.

User? _fromFirestore(
    DocumentSnapshot<Map<String, dynamic>> snapshot,
    SnapshotOptions? _,
  ) {
    final snapshotData = snapshot.data();
    if (snapshotData == null) return null;

    try {
      return User.fromJson(json);
    } catch (e) {
      debugPrint(e.toString());

      return null;
    }
  }

  // Not used but required for withConverter call.
Map<String, Object?> _toFirestore(User? _, SetOptions? __) => {};

Future<User?> getVisitorDetails({required String uid}) async {
  final snapshot = await_database
    .collection('userList')
    .doc(uid)
    .withConverter(fromFirestore: _fromFirestore, toFirestore: _toFirestore)
    .get();

  return snapshot.data();
}

Anywhere in your ProfileScreen you need a FutureBuilder where you do a call to your getVisitorDetails() method to get an User object and display the property values.

FutureBuilder is quite simple and easy way to access data and handle errors. If you want to read more about it head over to this link. When should I use a FutureBuilder?

        child: FutureBuilder<DocumentSnapshot>(
             future: DatabaseManagement().getVisitorDetails(FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.uid),
             builder: (context, snapshot) {
               if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
                 return const LoadingScreenWithOutScaffold();
               }
               if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done) {
                 if (snapshot.hasData && snapshot.data!.exists) {
                   final data = snapshot.data?.data() as Map<String, dynamic>;

Then use it

       return Column(
          children: [
            detailsWidget(
              icon: Icons.person,
              field: data['Full Name'], <== Whatever variable saved in your database
              value: name,
            ),
            detailsWidget(
              icon: Icons.email_rounded,
              field: data['Email'],
              value: email,
            ),
            detailsWidget(
              icon: Icons.phone,
              field: data['Phone Number'],
              value: phoneNumber,
            ), }
