In my code user is created but Email Verification is not working. Here is my code:

const signup = () => {
  auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(user.email, user.password)
    .then((userCredential) => {
      // send verification mail.
      userCredential.user.sendEmailVerification();
      //auth.signOut();
      alert("Email sent");
    })
    .catch(alert);
}

You should wait for the sendEmailVerification promise to complete before showing the "Email sent" alert as it blocks the thread and prevents the sendEmailVerification from doing what it needs to.

const signup = () => {
    auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(user.email,user.password)
      .then((userCredential) => {
        // send verification mail.
        return userCredential.user.sendEmailVerification();
      })
      .then(() => alert("Email sent"))
      .catch((err) => alert(err));
}

Note: Take care in where you call signup as the browser may be reloading the page before any of the above steps complete because you aren't chaining the Promises. Either return false to the caller (to prevent the form element submitting) or the Promise chain to the caller (to handle success/failure of the actions).
