I have been stuck with this problem for a long time and i decided to post my problem here.
My problem is to merge the accounts (Facebook and Google) in Firebase. Independently sign-up with either one of them works fine.
At first when the user Sign-up with google and later with Facebook (that has the same email address with google) it throws and error. I managed to handle the error as you see on my code below but i don't know how to merge both accounts.
Here is what i have done so far:
facebookSignin: function() {
var self = this
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(facebookProvider).then(function(result) {
var token = result.credential.accessToken;
var user = result.user;
self.registerProfile()
}).catch(function(error) {
var errorCode = error.code;
var errorMessage = error.message;
console.log("ERROR:" + error)
console.log("email is : " + error.email)
if (errorCode == 'auth/account-exists-with-different-credential') {
firebase.auth().fetchProvidersForEmail(error.email).then(providers => {
//providers returns this array -> ["google.com"]
console.log("Providers:" + providers)
console.log("Credential: " + JSON.stringify(error.credential))
firebase.auth().currentUser.link(error.credential).then(function(user) {
console.log("Account linking success", user);
});
}).catch(function(error){
console.log("error:" + error)
})
}
console.log("error code:" + error.code+ "error msg:" + error.message)
});
- First i already Signed up with google
- Now i want to login with Facebook with the same email address
I get the current-user null obviously because the user is not signed in, this is the error:
error:TypeError: __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1_firebase___default.a.auth(...).currentUser is null.
I read the documentation about the merge part but still could not figure this out. https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/account-linking#link-federated-auth-provider-credentials-to-a-user-account
I really appreciate the help.
