Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Seems like a bug regarding the documentation
What is the current behavior?
Actually I can't use reauthenticate() as described in docs.
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via codesandbox or similar.
There are two problems regarding reauthenticate:
- It isn't provided in the outgoing interface for TypeScript, I'm currently facing this:
TS2339: Property 'reauthenticate' does not exist on type 'ExtendedFirebaseInstance & ExtendedAuthInstance & ExtendedStorageInstance'.
2. Even when adding//@ts-ignore, my App is falling with error that seems shouldn't be related:
Application verifier is required for phone authentication
But i'm trying to reauthenticate with email and password. not the phone:
UPD: Okay, I previously tried to use it in a wrong way, but still to make it work I need three different ts-ignores:
// #1
// @ts-ignore
const credential = firebase.auth.EmailAuthProvider.credential(user?.email, password);
// #2
// @ts-ignore
return firebase.reauthenticate({credential})
.then(() => {})
// #3
// @ts-ignore
.catch((e) => { console.log(e); })#1 Is because of Property 'EmailAuthProvider' does not exist on type '() => FirebaseAuth'.
Removing #2 causes: Property 'reauthenticate' does not exist on type 'ExtendedFirebaseInstance & ExtendedAuthInstance & ExtendedStorageInstance'.
And #3 stands for classic: Parameter 'e' implicitly has an 'any' type. as I don't know what type of error should be here
What is the expected behavior?
I wan't to reauthenticate my user on security-sensitive actions using TypeScript and as described in docs:
https://react-redux-firebase.com/docs/auth.html#logincredentials-and-reauthenticatecredentials
