How to retrieve name and email after sign in with Google

TypeScript

 final res = await account.createOAuth2Session(
        provider: AuthProvider.google.name,
        scopes: ['profile', 'email'],
      );

I have this code to create session with that provider but I want to have name or email return, but in my case it returns null. So why do I need return values after create session? It because I need to trigger a function

TypeScript

      await functions.createExecution(
        functionId: newUserFunctionId,
        data: jsonEncode(data),
        xasync: true,
      );

Since the appwrite still have issue on event trigger when creating a new account with google provider

TL;DR

The user is trying to retrieve the name and email after signing in with Google. They are getting an error message saying that the 'name' attribute is missing. The solution suggested is to call the account.get() function on the client side to get the user's email and name. Another suggestion is to execute the function on session creation and check if it is an OAuth session and an account was just created. They can use the account.createOAuth2Session() function with the 'profile' and 'email' scopes to get the user's information. There seems to be an issue with the event trigger when creating a new account with the Google provider

If your goal is to do something with a function when a user is created, I recommend executing the function on session creation as well. Then, you can check if this is an oauth session and if an account was just created

Otherwise, the user should be passed to the function that the user executes. You can use the users API to get the user and that should have the email and name

The last option is to call account.get() client side.

alright thanks steve

Invalid document structure: Missing required attribute "name"

I just do the execte when session creation, I just try to print the payload

TypeScript

 final payload = jsonDecode(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA']);
  print(payload);

There is no email or name of the user

Right...you would need to fetch the user

Ohhh I seee
