How I can update userAuth( store additional data ) ?

[kisscodes1909]

My users need more information like firstName, lastname, billing address, ...

My plan is to create a new document in firestore and update the information to 'userAuth'

I don't see any method to update it

Best,
Huu

Not sure if you want to update the database document or AuthUser object. But if you want to update the AuthUser, you can set custom claims or update the properties by using Admin SDK. I really recommend going through Firebase docs first.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/manage-users

Hi @shreyas-jadhav, I think claims are not good for store additional data

'Custom claims are only used to provide access control. They are not designed to store additional data (such as profile and other custom data). '

My plan create a user document in firestore and store additional data, But how do we add additional data to userAuth.

Did you find a way to store extra data from firestore doc, I'm also stuck at this point.

@vpaflah did you find any way for this?

I'm not saying using claims. You can update the already given properties. Like
AuthUser.displayName, AuthUser.phoneNumber updating these wouldn't hurt anything as they are meant for it
