Actually, I want to globally use the data of the user., who logged into the portal currently. Below is the code i wrote.
I have saved the userdata to firebase database after creating the user as shown here!
firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email,password).then(function(userData)
{
console.log("Successfully Created user with uid:",userData.uid);
var user ={
uid:userData.uid,
email:email,
first_name:first_name,
last_name:last_name,
location:location,
fav_genres:fav_genres,
fav_artists:fav_artists
}
var userRef =fbRef.child('users');
userRef.push().set(user);
req.flash('success_msg','you are registered now, You can login');
res.redirect('/users/login');
}).catch(function(error)
{
res.write
({
code: error.code
});
res.status(401).end();
});
}
});
Now i want to retrieve and use currenly logged in userdata globally for all the pages in my application.
some portion in app.js is below
app.get('*',function(req,res,next){
if(firebase.auth().currentUser!=null)
res.locals.user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
});
below is a node in users from firebase.
But i am not getting the user object., Able to get only uid of the current user.Please suggest me in this.
I could figure out the issue.Got it by using the orderByChild() function as shown below.
app.get('*',function(req,res,next){
if(firebase.auth().currentUser!=null){
var id = firebase.auth().currentUser.uid;
var profileRef = fbRef.child('users');
// order by uid and then find the specific uid
var query = profileRef.orderByChild('uid').equalTo(id);
// Do a one time read of that uid
query.once('value', function(snap){
var user = JSON.stringify(snap.val());
console.log('User data is: '+user);
res.locals.user = JSON.stringify(snap.val());
});
}
next();
});
