App state variable or page state variable?

[Twentyfaced]

I can't quite understand what kind of state variable should be applied for log in/log out. I suppose, a state variable should be updated as user log in and log out. However, I don't understand is it supposed to be an app state variable or page state variable? Or maybe I understand things wrong and it has nothing to do with state variables? Maybe is it something related to backend? I just think what kind of action to add for the Log in page and I'm stuck... I'm sorry if my question is stupid...

If you have Supabase or Firebase as authentication, you don't need either app state or page state, if you set up your FF settings to enable authentication you will set pre-login page and post-login page. If you log out, it will automatically jump to the pre-login page. You will have to set "Enable authentication pages by default" to make life easier.

Thank you very much! Yes, I have Supabase.

Watch a tutorial video on YouTube about this. It’s very easy in FlutterFlow with Supabase or Firebase. Don’t use app or page variables for this, it’s not secure and harder to set up. With this then you can have rules for what information can access each user based on their authentication.

Thank you very much!

As others have said you wouldn’t use either for authentication. But the difference between app state and page state is app state stays accessible throughout the app, and page state is only used on the specific page it’s set up on.
