I want to get the user uid of an authenticated user in app from the firebase database and use that in app. How can I do that with thunkablex? The main idea is to show the information of a user to another user. Information include: Name, Phone, Profile image url, location etc… ---

When you use the sign\_in component for user authentication, it will return the uid of the user in the userid field upon successful authentication (and of course pass data to email and password when calling the SignIn, I just left them out out of laziness 😉 ): ![45](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/3/7352ee653c0b281ee890a34cc4149e9adfeab597.png) ---
