how to get username
how can i get username of the user as a string in flutter
TL;DR
The user wants to know how to get the username in Flutter. They are advised to call `toMap()` on the returned `User` object from `account.get()` and then parse the data to retrieve the username. An example code is provided to demonstrate this.
account.get() will get the current user. Then, get the name field:

thanks
sry im a noob
can u give me a example code
im only getting user as output
it return user-object.. inside that you will see many details...
but, what do you mean by username? do you mean unique identitifer?
yes
Do you have a profiles collection?
Just to give you an idea you'd call toMap() on the returned User object from account.get() then parse the data however you want. A simple example demonstrating what I mean:
TypeScript
final userAccount = await account.get();
final userAccountMap = userAccount.toMap();
final id = userAccountMap["\$id"];
final name = userAccountMap["name"];
final email = userAccountMap["email"];
thank you ur so help
