Error: Runner[463:34314] flutter: LateInitializationError: Field 'name' has not been initialized.
I recently updated to using firebase core and nullsafety and made some changes to my code that I don't quite understand, I'm new to programming here. Any way, I've tried reading this similar thread here about it but I still don't quite grasp it. I understand that I am not using name properly in the initstate most likely but that is as much as I understand. Can someone please provide an example code of what's needed to solve for the error below?
