Feature request: more properties in user.updateProfile()

[Thomas D Kehoe]

Firebase Authentication user objects have five properties: sign-in provider, provider-specific UID, displayName, email, and photoURL. user.updateProfile()
enables you to update the displayName and photoURL. My user objects have a few more properties. If I could put some more properties into the Firebase Authentication user objects then I could save a lot of code. Now I have to take user.email, use this to search my user database (in Firebase Database) for the e-mail address, return the key to the record, and then I can access all the properties in my user object. That's two databases and a lot of steps for my user objects.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for adding your thoughts here. Great stuff.

Would you mind dropping those in a feature request? It helps us quantify and prioritize our upcoming projects.
