How do you update a user in Firebase using AngularFire2?

Question

I can easily use this to create a user:

this.af.auth.createUser({email: email, password: password});

but how do I edit the users details once they're created? (ie: Change the password or the e-mail address?). I would think something like this:

this.af.auth.updateUser({email: email, password: password});

But there's no updateUser method?

Answer 1

I have once faced this problem and have not got an angularfire2 answer yet.

Here is a native firebase way I get through this problem.

public auth: any;
constructor(@Inject(FirebaseApp) firebaseApp: any) {
  this.auth = firebaseApp.auth();
}

reset(targetEmail: any) {
  this.auth.sendPasswordResetEmail(targetEmail);
}

Note:

It seems we could not change the password directly, only to send a password reset eamil to the target email address.
