How do you send a Firebase verification email (so that a user can verify their email) to a user in R

Time:08-18

I am making a React Native app where you can create accounts via Firebase authentication. I am try to set up a way to verify your email. I thought the code below would work, but it doesn't work. Anyone know the solution to this:

Code:

async function handleSignUp() {
    await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
      .then((userCredentials) => {
        let user = auth.currentUser;

        const actionCodeSettings = {
          url: `${configData.BASE_URL}/sign-in/?email=${user.email}`,
        };

        auth.currentUser.sendEmailVerification(actionCodeSettings).then(() => {
          alert("Verification link has been sent to your email");
        });
      })
      .catch((error) => alert(error.message));
  }

CodePudding user response:

You're using the v9 or later SDK, which uses a modular syntax like you see here: await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password).

Similar to createUserWithEmailAndPassword, sendEmailVerification is a top-level function too in this API, so the syntax is:

sendEmailVerification(auth.currentUser, actionCodeSettings).then(() => {
  alert("Verification link has been sent to your email");
});

This API is quite well covered in the Firebase documentation on sending an email verification link, so I recommend keeping that handy while coding.
