I have on my site an page where I handled File upload, but since I upgraded Firebase (I guess it was Firebase v7/8) this particular feature is not working anymore.
To handled the file upload in firebase storage I created a custom hook, where I use the useEffect because I need it to run each time there is a new file value. I passed a parametter (file) for the file I'm trying to upload and store it in database, and that way databse contains all image's url. Then I used the datas to load images in a react components.
The error I've got:
Uncaught TypeError: projectStorage.ref is not a function
Since I'm on Firebase v9 I'm lillte bit confused about it, and don't know what to change. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate =).
useStorage.jsx (custom hook)
import {projectStorage, projectFirestore, timestamp} from '../Firebase'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
function useStorage(file) {
const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const [url, setUrl] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const storageRef = projectStorage.ref(file.name)
const collectionRef = projectFirestore.collection('images');
storageRef.put(file).on('state_changed', (snap) => {
let percent = (snap.bytesTransferred / snap.totalBytes) * 100;
setProgress(percent >> 0); // or Math.trunc()
}, (err) => {
setError(err);
}, async () =>{
const url = await storageRef.getDownloadURL();
const createdAt = timestamp();
collectionRef.add({ url, createdAt});
setUrl(url);
});
}, [file]);
return {progress, url, error};
}
export default useStorage;
There's a top level function uploadBytesResumable() to upload files while monitoring progress. Try refactoring the code as shown below:
import {projectStorage, projectFirestore, timestamp} from '../Firebase'
import { ref as storageRef, uploadBytesResumable } from "firebase/storage";
useEffect(() => {
// Creating a storage reference
const storageReference = storageRef(projectStorage, file.name);
// Creating an upload task
const uploadTask = uploadBytesResumable(storageReference, file);
// Monitoring upload progress
uploadTask.on("state_changed", (snapshot: any) => {
console.log(snapshot);
// render progress
});
}, [file])
