Summary of Changes

Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the authentication service to centralize and robustify the creation of essential user-specific data documents, such as app settings and content preferences. By introducing a dedicated helper method, it eliminates code duplication and ensures data integrity across various user lifecycle events, including registration, anonymous user creation, and account linking.

Highlights

  • Centralized User Data Provisioning: Introduced a new private method, _ensureUserDataExists, within AuthService to encapsulate the logic for creating default UserAppSettings and UserContentPreferences.
  • Code Duplication Reduction: Replaced repetitive inline creation logic for these default documents in both registered user creation and anonymous user creation flows with calls to the new _ensureUserDataExists method.
  • Enhanced Data Integrity: Integrated _ensureUserDataExists into the linkAnonymousUserToEmail process, ensuring that all necessary user data documents are present even after an anonymous account is converted to a permanent one.
  • Idempotent Document Creation: The _ensureUserDataExists method now includes error handling (checking for NotFoundException) to prevent duplicate document creation, ensuring that default documents are only created if they don't already exist.

Code Review

The code changes introduce a new private method _ensureUserDataExists to centralize the logic for creating default UserAppSettings and UserContentPreferences. This method is called in several places to ensure that user data exists after creation or linking. The refactoring improves code maintainability by reducing duplication.

The checks for UserAppSettings and UserContentPreferences are independent and involve I/O operations. Consider running them in parallel using Future.wait to potentially reduce the total execution time.

Future<void> _ensureUserDataExists(User user) async {
  await Future.wait([
    () async {
      try {
        await _userAppSettingsRepository.read(id: user.id, userId: user.id);
      } on NotFoundException {
        _log.info(
          'UserAppSettings not found for user ${user.id}. Creating with defaults.',
        );
        final defaultAppSettings = UserAppSettings(
          id: user.id,
          displaySettings: const DisplaySettings(
            baseTheme: AppBaseTheme.system,
            accentTheme: AppAccentTheme.defaultBlue,
            fontFamily: 'SystemDefault',
            textScaleFactor: AppTextScaleFactor.medium,
            fontWeight: AppFontWeight.regular,
          ),
          language: 'en',
          feedPreferences: const FeedDisplayPreferences(
            headlineDensity: HeadlineDensity.standard,
            headlineImageStyle: HeadlineImageStyle.largeThumbnail,
            showSourceInHeadlineFeed: true,
            showPublishDateInHeadlineFeed: true,
          ),
        );
        await _userAppSettingsRepository.create(
          item: defaultAppSettings,
          userId: user.id,
        );
      }
    }(),
    () async {
      try {
        await _userContentPreferencesRepository.read(id: user.id, userId: user.id);
      } on NotFoundException {
        _log.info(
          'UserContentPreferences not found for user ${user.id}. Creating with defaults.',
        );
        final defaultUserPreferences = UserContentPreferences(
          id: user.id,
          followedCountries: const [],
