Vision for lib?

[FatumaA]

Hi @dshukertjr 👋 ,
So currently this lib relies on supabase_flutter. Should this remain the same?

Also, what are your thoughts on adding the recent auth methods? Including MFA. Basically having it keep up with the auth offering in supabase_flutter vs keeping it light?

And what are your thoughts on this - Jonathan's Discussion- and if/how it relates?

Need to update this lib 😅

I think it should, but what was your thoughts/ concerns around it?

Yeah, this is a tough question. I have a mixed feelings about it. On one side, I think if someone is implementing something sophisticated as MFA, they probably are looking to implement something fully customized, so they probably would not use UI libraries like this one. On the other hand, implementing MFA flows takes some time and effort, so it would be nice to make it effortless to implement it. I'm okay leaving this library lite for now though.

One thing worth discussing is to add native Google and Apple sign in support, I think. Related: #60

And what are your thoughts on this - Jonathan's Discussion- and if/how it relates?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Web is complicated, because there are so many frameworks, but Flutter is just Flutter, so I think what we currently have is very nice. I personally used this library the other day, and I really liked how all I needed to create a email + password signin/ signup page was just to add SupaEmailAuth widget!

Initially the idea I had was towards users who only use supabase auth and nothing else. So I thought relying on the whole supabase flutter vs just directly gotrue for flutter might be too much.
But that would bring the issue of if the user wants to use other supabase features what happens?

For the MFA and other complex auth flows... i was following on the original idea. To have be a complete auth solution that can stand on its own.

For native signin will def have to be added coz thats closely aligns

Sorry for the late reply.

I think this would be a separate discussion of whether we should provide a single package vs we should provide modular packages like how Firebase does, and the discussion goes beyond the auth UI, so for now let's just depend on supabase_flutter. It will also make it easy to handle deep links and auth state persistence and stuff easy!

Sounds great! Let's do it!

Sounds good as well 👍

No problem 🙂
Its good that we are on the same page on this.

Thank you
