I want to add the username on the signup of the user and I am using the following code:
//Create Account With Email&Password
const createUser = (email, password, username) => {
return createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password).then(() => {
updateProfile(auth.currentUser, {
displayName: username,
});
});
};
This is my useEffect in the same js file
useEffect(() => {
console.log('useEffect');
const unsubscribe = onAuthStateChanged(auth, (currentUser) => {
setUser(currentUser);
});
return () => unsubscribe();
}, []);
This code is adding the displayname successfully, but when I redirect to my account page the displayname is not directly showing up and I am getting a memory leak warning from the router-dom. Is there a cleaner and better way to do this?
I believe it's because the account page loads before firebase loads the auth data, you can use something like
onAuthStateChanged(auth,(user)=>{
if(user){
getUserName = auth.currentUser.displayName;
// Load the rest of the page
}
}
at your redirected user page,assuming you are using the right auth state, which you can refer from here https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/auth-state-persistence?authuser=0
