firebase.auth is not a function

Question

I am using Webpack with firebase and firebase-admin.

To install firebase I ran

npm install --save firebase

I am importing firebase

Answer 1

When running in Node and needing both firebase and firebase-admin this works for me:

First install firebase and then firebase-admin in that order.

Then use as so:

const app = require('@firebase/app');
require('@firebase/auth');
require('@firebase/firestore');

const firebase = app.firebase

firebase.initializeApp({…})

const auth = firebase.auth()
const db = firebase.firestore()
