How to Display User Profile Image and Name in AppBar of Chat Screen in Flutter?

I’m building a Flutter app where users can chat with each other. I have implemented user authentication and can store user profile information such as the profile image link and name in Firestore. Now, I want to display the user’s profile image and name in the AppBar of the chat screen.Requirements:

Store Profile Data: I have stored user profile information (image link and name) in Firestore.
Retrieve Profile Data: I need to retrieve this data and display it in the AppBar of the chat screen.

ChatScreen
This page is supposed to display the selected user’s profile picture and name in the app bar.

Questions:

Fetching Data Efficiently: Is there a more efficient way to fetch and display the user’s profile data in the AppBar?
Handling Errors: How should I handle cases where the user data might not be available or the image URL is invalid?
Updating Profile: If the user’s profile data changes, will the AppBar automatically update, or do I need to implement additional logic to handle real-time updates?
UI/UX Best Practices: Are there any best practices for displaying user profile information in the AppBar that I should consider?

I need to retrieve this data and display it in the AppBar of the chat screen
