I am trying to upload a single image to Firebase Storage, then grab its download url and assign this to a variable.
I can upload my image to firebase successfully, however I cannot retrieve the download url. here is what I have tried already.
upload() {
let storageRef = firebase.storage().ref();
let success = false;
for (let selectedFile of [(<HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById('file')).files[0]]) {
let router = this.router;
let af = this.af;
let folder = this.folder;
let path = `/${this.folder}/${selectedFile.name}`;
var iRef = storageRef.child(path);
iRef.put(selectedFile).then((snapshot) => {
console.log('Uploaded a blob or file! Now storing the reference at', `/${this.folder}/images/`);
af.list(`/${folder}/images/`).push({ path: path, filename: selectedFile.name })
});
}
// This part does not work
iRef.getDownloadURL().then((url) => {this.image = url});
console.log('IREF IS ' + iRef)
console.log('IMAGEURL IS ' + this.image)
}
The Console logs are these:
IREF IS gs://my-app-159520.appspot.com/images/Screen Shot 2017-08-14 at 12.19.01.png
view-order.component.ts:134 IMAGEURL IS undefined
Uploaded a blob or file! Now storing the reference at /images/images/
I have been trying to use the iRef reference to grab the download url but I keep getting errors. I am trying to grab the url so I can assign it to the this.image variable and then store it in my database using another function.
The API has changed. Use the following to get downloadURL
snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL().then(function(downloadURL) {
console.log("File available at", downloadURL);
});
