I am implementing firebase authentication to Nuxt js application and I am so close. The problem is I want to commit a vuext mutation inside firebase's default function onAuthStateChanged(). But when ever I load the page it shows the following error:
"Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '$store')"
Can you guys please help me out with this problem.
Thanks.
import firebase from '@/plugins/firebase'
import {
getAuth,
signInWithEmailAndPassword,
onAuthStateChanged
} from "firebase/auth"
export const state = () => ({
user: null,
authIsReady: false
})
export const mutations = {
updateUser(state, payload) {
state.user = payload
console.log('user is updated', state.user)
},
setAuthIsReady(state, payload) {
state.authIsReady = payload
console.log(state.authIsReady)
}
}
export const actions = {
async signIn(context, {
email,
password
}) {
console.log('sign in action')
const res = await signInWithEmailAndPassword(getAuth(), email, password)
if (res) {
context.commit('updateUser', res.user)
} else {
throw new Error('could not complete sign in')
}
}
}
// this function is causing the problem
const unsub = onAuthStateChanged(getAuth(), (user) => {
this.$store.commit('updateUser', user)
unsub()
})
The firebase.js file that I'm importing "auth" from below, is just all the regular setting up Firebase in Nuxt stuff... and the important lines are: const auth = getAuth() export { auth }
import {
auth
} from "~/plugins/firebase.js";
export default (context) => {
const {
store
} = context
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
auth.onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
if (user) {
return resolve(store.dispatch('onAuthStateChangedAction', user))
}
return resolve()
})
})
}
In your store/index.js file add the following async function in your actions setting:
async onAuthStateChangedAction(vuexContext, authUser) {
if (!authUser) { //in my case I'm just forcing user back to sign in page, only authorized users allowed//redirect from here this.$router.push({
path: '/signin',
})
}else {
//call your commits or do whatever you want to do
vuexContext.commit("setUser", authUser.email);
}
},
The first part of the code ensures that when the auth state changes in Firestore, this change is communicated to the action that you just created in the store. The second part of the code, the async function in the store accomplishes whatever you want it to do within the store.
