Type Error connecting Firebase Storage in Node.js

[Matteo Fiorio]

Hi ! 

I'm trying to connect firebase storege to my app with node.js

I've followed the getting started guide:

bash: 

npm install --save firebase 

in my app.js:

var firebase = require('firebase');

var config = {

apiKey: " **************************** ",

authDomain: " **************************** ",

databaseURL: " **************************** ",

storageBucket: " **************************** "

};

firebase.initializeApp(config);

var storageRef = firebase.storage();

It's send me :

TypeError: firebase.storage is not a function

I can't understand.

The admin SDK doesn't support storage - so its probably that! You can just use the regular Google Cloud Storage APIs from the server side though: https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/getting-started/using-cloud-storage

[Jacob Wenger]

Just to clarify: neither of the Firebase Node.js SDKs (admin SDK and regular client SDK) support Firebase Storage. As Ian said, your best bet is to use the GCS API directly.

Cheers,
Jacob
