I'm trying to use the firebase admin SDK to add users with specific roles. I can get it working where newly added users are authenticated, but I also need to create a users/id record in my firestore database.
Here is my code:
exports.createUser = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
const user = await admin.auth().createUser({
email: data.email,
emailVerified: true,
password: data.password,
displayName: data.displayName,
disabled: false,
});
await admin.firestore().collection('users').doc(user.uid).set({
displayName: user.displayName,
id: user.uid,
email: user.email,
role: 'clientAccess',
created: fb.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
})
return { response: user }
});
Where can I put the return admin.firestore().col... part to make this work?
Thanks!
I'm going to suggest that you're not quite asking the right question. Your task at hand is this:
You don't need at all return for task 2. You just need a return for step 3. You can simply use async/await on each of the functions that return a promise to make sure they are all executed and completed in the right order before the function returns the final result to the client.
const user = await admin.auth().createUser({ ... });
await admin.firestore().collection('users').doc(user.uid).set({ ... })
return { response: user }
You probably also don't nee to worry about try/catch unless you have some special error handling.
