send verification mail in flutter/dart development - dart

Question

I'm New to flutter and dart mobile app development. how to implement forgot password and send verification mail in flutter/dart development or is there any way to implement to send mail.

Answer 1

I don't think there is any way to send an email from your flutter application. This is something I would definitely implement on a backend server.
I would implement a 'forgot password' button in flutter, which triggers a http call to the backend which then triggers the password generation and email sending.

Answer 2

Yes there are some ways. The most common would be to use firebase as a backend server handling these requests.
You could do it like this
Add these packages to your flutter apps pubspec.yaml file
// latest version
firebase_core: ^1.17.0
firebase_auth: ^3.3.18
On forgot password button click
once you've completed the logic necessary before making the request, call this function
sendResetEmail(String email, BuildContext context) async {
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
try {
await _auth.sendPasswordResetEmail(email: email);
Timer(
const Duration(seconds: 3),
() => CustomWidgets().moveToPage(
page: const Home(), context: context, replacement: true),
);
} catch (e) {
// error handling here
}
}
This will send an email from firebase to the selected email to reset password.
On email verification request
Once the logic is over, call this function.
bool _isEmailVerified = false;
Timer? timer;
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
the initstate method
#override
void initState() {
_isEmailVerified = _auth.currentUser!.emailVerified;
if (!_isEmailVerified) {
sendEmailVerificationForUser();
timer = Timer.periodic(const Duration(seconds: 5), (timer) {
emailVerificationStatus(context);
});
}
email verification check function
emailVerificationStatus(BuildContext context) async {
try {
await _auth.currentUser!.reload();
setState(() {
_isEmailVerified = _auth.currentUser!.emailVerified;
});
} catch (e) {
// handle the error here
}
setState(() {
_isEmailVerified = _auth.currentUser!.emailVerified;
});
if (_isEmailVerified) {
timer?.cancel();
// and move to next page
}}
send email verification function
Future sendEmailVerificationForUser() async {
try {
await FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser!.sendEmailVerification();
} catch (e) {
// error handling}
