Firebase User Profile Add Custom Fields

Is it possible to add custom fields to the user profile table in Firebase?

Right now it looks like I can only add data to:

  • "uid"
  • "displayName"
  • "photoURL"
  • "email"
  • "emailVerified"
  • "phoneNumber"
  • "isAnonymous"
  • "tenantId"
  • "providerData":
  • "apiKey"
  • "appName"
  • "authDomain"
  • "stsTokenManager"
  • "redirectEventId"
  • "lastLoginAt"
  • "createdAt"

I would like to have the ability to add custom objects to the JSON string to contain all of the user data.

Quick example, where after I have registered a user, I add that user to a usersCollection and supply other field information as necessary.

In my firebase powered app, what I do is the following:

import app from 'firebase/app'
import 'firebase/auth'
import 'firebase/database'
import 'firebase/firestore'

const config = {
  apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY,
  authDomain: process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH_DOMAIN,
  databaseURL: process.env.REACT_APP_DATABASE_URL,
  projectId: process.env.REACT_APP_PROJECT_ID,
  storageBucket: process.env.REACT_APP_STORAGE_BUCKET,
  messagingSenderId: process.env.REACT_APP_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID 
}

class Firebase {
  constructor (props) {
    app.initializeApp(config)

    this.auth = app.auth()
    this.db = app.database()
    this.firestore = app.firestore()
  }

  signUpWithEmailAndPassword = (email, pw) => {
    this.auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
    .then(registeredUser => {
      this.firestore.collection("usersCollection")
      .add({
        uid: registeredUser.user.uid,
        field: 'Info you want to get here',
        anotherField: 'Another Info...',
        ....
      })
    }
  }
}

Hope this helps.

 auth()
  .createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
  .then((res) => {
    console.log('User account created & signed in!', res);
    res.user.updateProfile({
      displayName: "Hanzala",
      photoURL:"https://placeimg.com/140/140/any",
    })
  })
  .catch(error => {
    if (error.code === 'auth/email-already-in-use') {
      console.log('That email address is already in use!');
    }
