Cloud Storage

Any mobile or web app will need a storage space that stores user-generated content such as documents, photos, or videos in a secure manner and scales well. Cloud Storage is designed with the same requirement in mind and helps you easily store and serve user-generated content. It provides a robust streaming mechanism for a best end-user experience.

Here's how we can configure Firebase Cloud Storage:

// Configuration for your app
 // TODO: Replace with your project's config object
 var config = {
 apiKey: '<your-api-key>',
 authDomain: '<your-auth-domain>',
 databaseURL: '<your-database-url>',
 storageBucket: '<your-storage-bucket>'
 };
 firebase.initializeApp(config);
  // Get a reference to the storage service
 var storage = firebase.storage();

// Points to the root reference
var storageRef = storage.ref();

// Points to 'images'
var imagesRef = storageRef.child('images');

// Points to 'images/sprite.jpg'
// Note that you can use variables to create child values
var fileName = 'sprite.jpg';
var spaceRef = imagesRef.child(fileName);

// File path is 'images/sprite.jpg'
var path = spaceRef.fullPath

// File name is 'sprite.jpg'
var name = spaceRef.name

// Points to 'images'
var imagesRef = spaceRef.parent;
