Access custom claims on the client

[Thank_You]

I need to access custom claims on the client, but cannot.  

The docs indicate to use firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdTokenResult()

For over a year I have had zero luck getting anything from firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdTokenResult()

The only way I am able to access user info from the client is firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function(user) 

https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/custom-claims#access_custom_claims_on_the_client

This code does not work.  Always returns undefined.  

firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdTokenResult()
  .then((idTokenResult) => {
     // Confirm the user is an Admin.
     if (!!idTokenResult.claims.admin) {
       // Show admin UI.
       showAdminUI();
     } else {
       // Show regular user UI.
       showRegularUI();
     }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

We use getIdToken() in one of our codelabs: 

Codelab: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-admin/index.html#5

Source: https://github.com/googlearchive/fireflicks/blob/master/web_app/src/services/DataModel.ts#L193

This works as far as I can see. Not sure if there's an issue with getIdTokenResult().

What is firebase.auth().currentUser returning?
