I'm an English teacher in Japan. I'm developing a web app using Firebase Hosting
My students have Google account because we use Gsuite for Education, so I decided to get students' data with Firebase Auth.
function signIn(){
var provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(provider);
}
function saveMessage() {
// Add a new message entry to the Firebase database.
firebase.firestore().collection('messages').add({
name: firebase.auth().currentUser.displayName,
text: messageInputElement.value,
timestamp: firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
})
In saveMessage function I get user's name with firebase.auth().currentUser.displayName
Is it possible to get more user information? For example, I want User's school name, class number and student number. I read Firebase Auth document. https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User#providerdata This seems to be good. However I couldn't understand how to use it.
Could you tell me how to get user information other than user name with Firebase Auth?

You will need to create a custom form on your front end that gathers that data and save those details after creating of the user, possibly in a function like so:
function writeUserData(userId, name, fav_color, best_friend, best_hero) {
firebase.database().ref('users/' + userId).set({
name: name,
fav_color: fav_color,
best_friend : best_friend,
best_hero: best_hero
});
}
You then typically would structure your database like so:
"users": {
"$userID": {
"name": "John",
"fav_color": "chartruese",
"best_friend": "James",
"best_hero": "spiderman"
}
}
Just a note, You usually would post this data after the user is authenticated, that way you can add a firebase rule to make sure that only that user can post and read that data.
