Is it possible to change the firebase username and profile picture?-CodePudding

So i have firebase authentication setup but when i use createUserWithEmailAndPassword() it does create the user but what about the User Name/ Display Name? or the profile picture?

Is it possible to change the user name or profile picture in firebase?

CodePudding user response：

Yes, you're able to change the username, profile picture and more in firebase.

Firebase has an example in the docs https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users#update_a_users_profile

So if you wanted to change the username or profile picture you would have to use the updateProfile method

import { getAuth, updateProfile } from "firebase/auth";
const auth = getAuth();
updateProfile(auth.currentUser, {
//Replace "Jane Q. User" to the username you desire
//And Replace the PhotoURL with the desired Image
  displayName: "Jane Q. User", photoURL: "https://example.com/jane-q-user/profile.jpg"
}).then(() => {
  // Profile updated!
  // ...
}).catch((error) => {
  // An error occurred
  // ...
});
