This is a great video on storing images in firebase. I've been running around the internet for the past day trying to figure out how to get it done, but it seemed like all the content was out of date. This tutorial saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks again.
@anona lol Yeah I'm definitely having a lot of trouble getting things working - I haven't made much progress since this comment as it's hard to find good resources. Net Ninja has a good intro series on his channel, but it doesn't cover enough. His Udemy course has been really good, but it's also outdated. Would love to know if you find any good resources!
Awesome! Thank you! Man, great tutorial. I was having such a headache with v9 and combing through Firebase docs. Thank you for simplifying this. Liked and subscribed
Very useful, thank you. I followed your video and got my test-app working in minutes & was able to use that info for my intended project! May I suggest you look into using a .env file to protect your firebase credentials from showing up your public github repo? I'm hesitant to leave API keys on public repos - but that's your preference.
Yes surely you can use .env for firebase config. Just for the demonstration I have kept it public and since I have already deleted the project from my firebase console so any ways the api key won’t be usable. But thanks for observation. Really appreciated
you saved my life! the documentation is not clear unlike your video i have a question> what is the difference between setDoc() and the method you have used in this video
Hey thanks for your feedback!! Really appreciate it. Coming to your question setDoc is a method used in firebase firestore (not firebase storage) to add data.
10:34 I write console.log(url) and it gives me a working url in Storage, but when doesnt work when i do setImage(url), it pass a empty string, do you know why or how can i fix that?
I have spent up to two days trying to figure this out. T han you so much for the video. It was amazing. I do need advice, the image is being saved in the storage however it isn't displaying in the storage, its there but i xan't see the actual image. I know it has to do with the file format from expo image picker. I need to convert it to bytes, aby ideas on how to do this? Thank you
Since there are 2 ref plugins, it gives the following error. Can you help please? import { set, ref, } from "firebase/database"; import { getDownloadURL, uploadBytesResumable, ref,} from 'firebase/storage'; Terminal : Parsing error: Identifier 'ref' has already been declared.
You can try alias named import. Something like this import { set, ref as dbRef } from "firebase/database"; import { getDownloadURL, uploadBytesResumable, ref as storageRef} from 'firebase/storage';
Hey, this video helps me a lot, but will you please tell me how to display that picture on the web page. Like a person login from the firestore collection and authentication and how do I display his picture as a profile pic.
You can store the download url of the picture in the users collection and then use it when user logs in. There's another way if you just want to store the img for profile picture only. You can do this by simply setting the display image for your authenticated user by updating the user profile. Follow this for more - firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users#update_a_users_profile
Typically you need to have a Backend written where you should use google cloud storage, as using it directly in your frontend will expose you secret api keys.
Hey There, Thanks for this solution. But please hear me out, I want to post a picture along with a caption text to firestore. so, the imageURL will be sent to storage, and caption text to firestore. but i am getting errors in doing so. can you please provide some implementation to this
You can store the image to firebase storage then get the download url. Then in the Firestore you need to store the url caption and other details you want. Then everything can be fetched from the Firestore in one go. Apart from this if you just want to have a caption to your image you can just update the meta data of the image with your custom metadata. Implementation can be found here firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/file-metadata
@@FullstackSimplified but please make it work. I see UA-camrs on here that do fire base tutorials and it’s 20222 but for the tutorial they are using fire base 2018
How can we fetch this image and use it along with some textual data from the database , like i want to create a card with title , image and description, so the image come from the storage but how can I use title and description which comes for the firebase store and use all this with map function to map all the cards and display them
Hi. You can store the image download url in the database along with other data you have and then you can simply use the url from the response in img src
Hey man great video. I need help. I'm going to use firebase storage to upload files. But I also want to store that url into mongodb, instead of just console.log(url). How can I do that? Sorry I'm a beginner
Once you get the download Url for the uploaded file you can make a request to your backend with the URL as a payload and then in your backend you can store the same in the MongoDb. Note- Connecting your MongoDB directly to your frontend can be a security issues as you will expose your db api keys and credentials to the public
@@FullstackSimplified Thanks for the reply. Another Question bro. What if I want to upload multiple files. Like Select 1 file then upload like we did here. Staying on the same page. Select another file and upload. Select 3rd file then upload. If that makes sense
@@FullstackSimplified I checked it out however, I still cant get to find the way to retreive the url variable outside of the function. I want to be able to add the url to a document in the firestore so I can download it into the UI latter
Hi i am getting error like this Permission denied. Please enable Firebase Storage for your bucket by visiting the Storage tab in the Firebase Console and ensure that you have sufficient permission to properly provision resources.
Thank you so much for the video. Can someone tell me how to upload an image and an audio together through a single form along with a the name of the song (user specified). Something like an online music player. I've been stuck here for days pls helpp.
You have to upload them separately. Then you can store the download URL for both the files in Firestore or realtime database. Something like { name : "Song name", albumArt : , audio : }
@@FullstackSimplified thank youuu. I did just that and it worked but I've to create some sort of a pause between uploading the file and adding the doc to firestorm. Currently my adddoc and uploading runs simultaneously so an empty string gets uploaded to firestore since uploading takes some time
hi, i follow your instruction and got this error: "Uncaught ReferenceError: ref is not defined" at the line const storageRef = ref(storage, `/images/${image.name}`); what is wrong?
You can select 2 images from the file picker by making it accept multiple images. Then you can loop over the selected images and call the upload function for all the selected images. Or if you want to select one photo at a time then you can open the file picker twice and upload the selected photos one by one using the same upload function
@@FullstackSimplified Actually I was planning to create separate file picker for both images like profileImage and CoverImage. So will I have to create separate handleImageChange Functions ? Or it can be done in one function itself?
Well you can do so by transcoding your video into smaller chunks and uploading it to firebase storage. Then you can store the chunk detials in firestore and download chunks as the video progress. But this would be really expensive so i would suggest to use some 3rd party solutions like Vimeo or ziggeo. You can also use webrtc of you have your own backend
Well in firebase you can only upload 1 file at a time. If you want to upload multiple files you will have to loop over your files one by one and upload them using the loop. You can also use Promise.all to resolve the all the promises and then get an array of response
What happens if two files have the same name? Why isn't that really important thing addressed here? One way is to use uid of a currently authenticated user which we can get from auth.currentUser.uid. If your app has multiple files to upload such as cover letter, resume etc they should probably point to different folders. If the user reuploads any of them it will rewrite the previous file in the storage and not fill your storage with duplicates.
Authentication was not covered in this video. It was more about the basics of file uploading. For the file name you can use any thing which suits your application architecture to avoid duplicates or file over riding
It's a shame that useful videos like this one don't get more likes. Thank you very much for this.
Edit: I just saw that you have a playlist on react firebase. Please continue what you're doing, we need more people like you.
