I am working with Flutter sdk version 2.12.0.I am creating a chat app which can be used to chat with other users. The chat history will be stored in fireBase . I am trying to retrieve the data of what I chatted and display it on the screen using Stream Builder widget. As i keep chatting the data should get automatically added.
I am getting the following error:
Closure call with mismatched arguments: function '[]'
Receiver: Closure: () => Map<String, dynamic> from Function 'data':.
Tried calling: []("text")
Found: []() => Map<String, dynamic>
I am not able to figure out which function has mis Matched arguments. Can you please me with it. Here is my code:

late String messageText;

super.initState();

async{
try

final user= await _auth.currentUser;//get the current user id/name/email.Also currentUser return a future so make it async by adding await and async keywords
if(user!=null)

loggedInUser=user ;//LoggedInUser = user contains email of the info
print(loggedInUser.email);
}
}
