📂 Image Uploads
Create an image file uploader with Firebase storage
How do you associate a Firebase user to a file upload?
Upload State Changed Event
// Storage exports
export const storage = firebase.storage();
export const STATE_CHANGED = firebase.storage.TaskEvent.STATE_CHANGED;
Image Uploader Component
import { useState } from 'react';
import { auth, storage, STATE_CHANGED } from '../lib/firebase';
import Loader from './Loader';
// Uploads images to Firebase Storage
export default function ImageUploader() {
const [uploading, setUploading] = useState(false);
const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0);
const [downloadURL, setDownloadURL] = useState(null);
// Creates a Firebase Upload Task
const uploadFile = async (e) => {
// Get the file
const file = Array.from(e.target.files)[0];
const extension = file.type.split('/')[1];
// Makes reference to the storage bucket location
const ref = storage.ref(`uploads/${auth.currentUser.uid}/${Date.now()}.${extension}`);
setUploading(true);
// Starts the upload
const task = ref.put(file);
// Listen to updates to upload task
task.on(STATE_CHANGED, (snapshot) => {
const pct = ((snapshot.bytesTransferred / snapshot.totalBytes) * 100).toFixed(0);
setProgress(pct);
// Get downloadURL AFTER task resolves (Note: this is not a native Promise)
task
.then((d) => ref.getDownloadURL())
.then((url) => {
setDownloadURL(url);
setUploading(false);
});
});
};
return (
<div className="box">
<Loader show={uploading} />
{uploading && <h3>{progress}%</h3>}
{!uploading && (
<>
<label className="btn">
📸 Upload Img
<input type="file" onChange={uploadFile} accept="image/x-png,image/gif,image/jpeg" />
</label>
</>
)}
{downloadURL && <code className="upload-snippet">{`![alt](${downloadURL})`}</code>}
</div>
);
