Firebase Authentication with FullName

Question

I am trying to register user with createUserWithEmailAndPassword function, which logically receives only email and password. But I want also to write fullname field of user. Can you tell me what is the way of doing this? Thanks

@Rafee firebase doesn't allow to create custom fields when registration but there must be some trick to do it — KoboldMines, Mar 02 '21 at 06:43
Trying console your user after registeration. you can see details `user.displayName` — Rafee, Mar 02 '21 at 06:45
In place of passing username and password fields, pass full name and password as arguments. — Badri Paudel, Mar 02 '21 at 06:46
@BadriPaudel I mean where? I use createUserWithEmailAndPassword. It only accepts email and password. But where to pass fullName. Thats what I am here for — KoboldMines, Mar 02 '21 at 06:47
You cannot add additional fields with reateUserWithEmailAndPassword. to do it, you have to create a User table in your database, listen when authentication changes and update user with provided username.

But I want also to write fullname field of user.

I make the assumption that you want to update the displayName property of the user Object.

Do as follows, by using the updateProfile() method:

firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
  .then((userCredential) => {
    // Signed in 
    var user = userCredential.user;
    return user.updateProfile({displayName: "Your name"});
  })
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Profile updated successfully!");
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    var errorCode = error.code;
    var errorMessage = error.message;
    // ..
  });
