I'm using @ngrx/store and @ngrx/effects with Firebase authentication in Angular.
This is the constructor:
constructor(
private actions: Actions,
private afAuth: AngularFireAuth,
private db: AngularFirestore,
private router: Router
) {}
This is the effect:
@Effect()
getUser: Observable<Action> = this.actions
.ofType(authActions.GET_USER)
.map((action: authActions.GetUser) => action.payload)
.switchMap(payload => this.afAuth.authState)
.map(authData => {
if (authData) {
const user = new User(
authData.uid,
authData.displayName,
authData.email,
authData.photoURL
);
return new authActions.Authenticated(user);
} else {
return new authActions.NotAuthenticated();
}
})
.catch(err => Observable.of(new authActions.AuthError()));
this code works as expected, but I need other values that are stored in a Firestore document and I can retrieve them in this way:
[...]
if (authData) {
const userRef = this.db.firestore
.collection('users')
.doc(authData.uid)
.get()
.then(doc => {
const userData = doc.data();
return {
uid: userData.uid,
displayName: userData.displayName,
email: userData.email,
photoURL: userData.photoURL,
role: userData.roles
};
});
[...]
But since it is a promise I can't use userRef where I'm using user.
Is there a solution to this problem?
