Getting data from FireStore using Stream and Map it to Class Flutter

Question

I am attempting to Deserialize data from Firestore Map into a new Class and call that Class using Provider. I have followed several tutorials (https://fireship.io/lessons/advanced-flutter-firebase/) with no success.

///auth_class.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class UserCheck extends ChangeNotifier {
  final _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
  FirebaseUser loggedInUser;

  var userDetails;
  final String id;
  String firstName;
  final String lastName;
  final String userEmail;
  final String userOrg;
  final Timestamp regDate;
  final String date;

  UserCheck({
    this.id,
    this.firstName,
    this.lastName,
    this.userEmail,
    this.userOrg,
    this.regDate,
    this.date,
  });

  factory UserCheck.fromSnap(DocumentSnapshot ds) {
    Map data = ds.data;

    return UserCheck(
      id: ds.documentID,
      firstName: ds['fname'] ?? '',
      lastName: data['lname'] ?? '',
      userEmail: data['regEmail'] ?? '',
      userOrg: data['org'] ?? '',

    );
  }

I then try to call using

//database_service.dart

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:oast_app/widgets/auth_class.dart';

class DatabaseService {

    Stream<List<UserCheck>> streamUser(FirebaseUser user){
    var ref = Firestore.instance.collection('users').document('${user.uid}').snapshots();
    return ref.map((list) => {
      return list.data.map((ds) => UserCheck.fromSnap(ds)).toList()
    });
    }
}

Just a guess, shouldn't your following code;

firstName: ds['fname'] ?? '',

be

firstName: data['fname'] ?? '',

instead?
