recommended way to access ref to create user?

[Matt]

Might seem like a silly question, but what is the best way to access the native methods in firebase?

For example, the code example on Firebase shows: 

var ref = new Firebase("https://<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>.firebaseio.com");

ref.createUser({
  email: "not_a_real_user@new-domain-test-123.com",
  password: "correcthorsebatterystaple"
}, function(error, userData) {
  if (error) {
    switch (error.code) {
      case "EMAIL_TAKEN":
        console.log("The new user account cannot be created because the email is already in use.");
        break;
      case "INVALID_EMAIL":
        console.log("The specified email is not a valid email.");
        break;
      default:
        console.log("Error creating user:", error);
    }
  } else {
    console.log("Successfully created user account with uid:", userData.uid);
  }
});

How does this translate to EmberFire?  Meaning, if I want to create a new user, I know I would simply do this:

      var newUser = this.store.createRecord('user', {
        user: this.get('user'),
        password: this.get('password'),
        timestamp: new Date().getTime()
      });
      newUser.save();

How would I get this to interact with Firebase's native createUser method?

Hi Matt,

If you want to interact with the base Firebase reference you can inject the 'firebase' service like this:

export default Ember.Controller.extend({
  firebase: Ember.inject.service(),

  actions: {

    

    createUser() {

      const ref = this.get('firebase');

      ref.createUser({

        email: this.get('email'),

        password: this.get('password')

      }, (err, authData) => {

        if (err) {

          // do something about this error

        } else {

          // create a db record for your user

        }

      });

    }

  }  

});

Note that this will create an email/password user for Firebase Auth, but will not create the user object in your database. For that, you would additionally use this.store.createRecord.

Hope that helps!
