I am trying to implement a 'Log in with Spotify' feature for my react app. I am trying to follow this blog but I am not able use
firebase.auth().createCustomToken(uid)
as i get the error
.createCustomToken is not a function
I also tried using firebase-admin package but I run into
Can't resolve util in /node_modules/@google_cloud/common/build/src
This is what I have tried to do so far. I have never used firebase before. Any help would be appreciated.
import {getAuth} from 'firebase-admin/auth';
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase-admin/app';
import admin from 'firebase-admin';
var serviceAccount = require('./service-account.json')
const spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi();
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount)
})
let uid= 5;
getAuth().createCustomToken(uid).then(function(customToken) {
console.log(customToken);
});
The blog post you're following is a few years old, and recent versions of the Firebase SDK for JavaScript have switched to a different syntax (to allow build tools to automatically exclude unused parts of the SDK from you app bundle).
What used to be:
firebase.auth().createCustomToken(uid)...
Is now accomplished with:
createCustomToken(getAuth(), uid)...
For more on this, I recommend also checking out the upgrade guide for the new v9 SDK.
Update: as Dharmaraj commented below createCustomToken is still a method on the auth object.
