Firebase Add your own data

Question

Hello guys. I have this question. In short, I made user authorization via Email & Phone. In short, it all works. The question is how do I add my data to this user. For example: I want to update the user’s location via GeoIP when authorizing a user, or simply add the login time to it.

If it’s not entirely clear, then there are user’s methods ( https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User ). I need the updateProfile method. Implementation of updateProfile from documentation:

 user.updateProfile({ displayName: "Jane Q. User", photoURL: "https://example.com/jane-q-user/profile.jpg" }).then(function() { var displayName = user.displayName; var photoURL = user.photoURL; }, function(error) { });

But this method only works with keys that already exist in the user. I mean, you can't add yours.

How can I add my data to the user? Database is not very suitable! thank

Add an additional list in the Realtime Database of your project to store custom information for users.

In rules, it will look something like this:

 { "rules": { ... "userinfo": { "$uid": { ".read": "$uid === auth.uid", ".write": "$uid === auth.uid" } }, ... } }

Thus, it will be possible to receive data.

GET https: // {{project_name}} .firebaseio.com / userinfo / {{user_id}} .json? Auth = {{server_key}}

And add your own

POST https: // {{project_name}} .firebaseio.com / userinfo / {{user_id}} .json? Auth = {{server_key}}

 { "name": "Kirk", "gender": "MALE", "avatar": null, "birthDate": 1502463043 }
