I'm a beginner when it comes to using async and await, and I could really use some assistance.
In my code, there's a function called register which registers a user and sends their data to the server to create a "user profile". However, I'm running into an issue with another async function called login. This function redirects the user immediately after registration, so the "user profile" data is not being sent.
Take a look at my register function below:
async register(user: User) {
try {
const result = await this.afAuth.auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(user.email, user.password);
await this.afAuth.auth.currentUser.updateProfile({
displayName: user.displayName,
photoURL: ""
}).then(() => {
let currentUser = result;
let date = new Date().getTime();
let userData = {
email: currentUser.email,
displayName: currentUser.displayName,
uid: currentUser.uid,
created: date,
}
this.database.list('users').set(userData.uid, userData).then(() => {
return;
}); //I want to continue after this line is called.
return;
}, function(error) {
console.log(error)
});
} catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
It seems like my await might be in the wrong place. I need the login function to wait until the data is successfully .set...
If you have any insights on what I might be doing incorrectly, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!
