This code i used to store users in firebase.
this.db
.doc('/users/' + user.uid)
.set({
name: user.displayName,
email: user.email,
})
.then(() => console.log('user saved successfully'))
.catch((reason: any) => console.log('user save failed:', reason));
Users also have a isAdmin property that gets set elsewhere. When I login as a new user, the user gets a name and email.
If i make the user admin i can visit admin only pages. issue is, if i refresh on an admin page i get kicked of the page. I think the issue is the set method, since it doesnt contain the isAdmin property
When I use update instead of set, it works fine when I refresh, but now I cant create new records for new users.
What is the best way to tackle this?
You're looking to merge the data in your set call with the existing data (if any), which you can do by specifying set options:
this.db
.doc('/users/' + user.uid)
.set({
name: user.displayName,
email: user.email,
}, { merge: true }) // 👈
