Using the createUserWithEmailAndPassword method-CodePudding

I'm trying to create a web app using java and spring-boot as the backend. I want to use the createUserWithEmailAndPassword method of FirebaseAuth in order to create a new user in my firebase database.

This is init of the FirebaseAuth object:

private final FirebaseAuth mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

I'm trying to access createUserWithEmailAndPassword from the mAuth object but it does not recognize the method, it can only find:

mAuth.createUser(CreateRequest request); or mAuth.createUserAsync(CreateRequest request);

The project is build with gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
    annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:9.0.0'
}

what am I missing?

CodePudding user response：

The createUserWithEmailAndPassword method only exists in the client-side SDKs of Firebase, such as those for use in Web and Android apps.

You are using the Admin SDK for Java, which is made for using in server-side code such as yours. The Admin SDKs do not have a createUserWithEmailAndPassword, but you can create a user by calling createUser as shown in the link.
