Key points :

• This package allows developers to verify that the provided Email is valid and also an existing one,
• It is confirmed by sending an OTP to the specified email ID and verify them.

Features!

• (Depricated) Has a test server by default, (has limitations of 30 mails : to match the other user needs for testing).
• Easy setup of a custom server here : Node version : email-auth-node
• Detailed setup can be found here : Detailed setup of email-auth production server
• Simple methods to send and verify the OTP, all you need as a mandatory parameter is the Email ID.

Key changes:

• No more static methods, All the methods are based on the class instance.
• More reliable and understandable method names.
• Change in parameters.
• Session name is made mandatory.
• Additional option to set the OTP length for production servers
• Enriched log messages
• [client_logs image]
• Get detailed logs from server when on debug mode.
• [server_logs image]

Steps

• Initialize the class

EmailAuth emailAuth =  new EmailAuth(sessionName: "Sample session");

• Pass in the remote server config if present

emailAuth.config(remoteServerConfiguration);

// remoteServerConfiguration : Signature
{
  "server": "server url",
  "serverKey": "serverKey"
}

• Sending an otp

  Have the method wrapped in a async funtion.

void sendOtp() async {
  bool result = await emailAuth.sendOtp(
      recipientMail: _emailcontroller.value.text, otpLength: 5
      );
  }

• Validating an otp

  Have the method wrapped in a funtion for better reusablity.

emailAuth.validateOtp(
        recipientMail: _emailcontroller.value.text,
        userOtp: _otpcontroller.value.text)

Usage template example

import 'package:email_auth/email_auth.dart';
...
Inside your stateLess / Statefull widget class
  ...
  
  // Declare the object
  EmailAuth emailAuth;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    // Initialize the package
    emailAuth = new EmailAuth(
      sessionName: "Sample session",
    );

    /// Configuring the remote server
    emailAuth.config(remoteServerConfiguration);
  }

  final TextEditingController _emailController = TextEditingController();
  final TextEditingController _otpController = TextEditingController();

  /// a Boolean function to verify if the Data provided is true
  bool verify() {
    print(emailAuth.validateOtp(
        recipientMail: _emailcontroller.value.text,
        userOtp: _otpcontroller.value.text));
  }

  /// a void funtion to send the OTP to the user
  /// Can also be converted into a Boolean function and render accordingly for providers
  void sendOtp() async {
    bool result = await emailAuth.sendOtp(
        recipientMail: _emailcontroller.value.text, otpLength: 5);
    if (result) {
      // using a void function because i am using a 
      // stateful widget and seting the state from here.
      setState(() {
        submitValid = true;
      });
    }
  }
  
  ...
   Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   /// have your controllers assigned to textFields or textFormFields
   ...
    body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            TextField(
              controller: _emailController,
            ),
            TextField(
              controller: _otpController,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      ...
