如何将 Firebase 用户 ID 导出到另一个 JS 文件？

Question

I'm a beginner when it comes to NodeJS and Firebase through NodeJS. I'm trying to export the user ID of a user that's currently logged into my website, and export that user ID to another JavaScript file to be used there.

I've used the following code:

import { getAuth, onAuthStateChanged } from "firebase/auth";
const auth = getAuth();
onAuthStateChanged(auth, (user) => {
if (user) {
    // User is signed in, see docs for a list of available properties
    // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User
    const uid = user.uid;
    // ...
} else {
    // User is signed out
    // ...
  }
});

from Firebase's documentation page for authentication (via Github) . I've used this code as a base to simply test out, but I've realized that any code I put in here and export, returns undefined.

Here is how my code is set up:
firebase.js File:

const { initializeApp } = require('firebase/app');
const { getFirestore, collection, getDocs } = require('firebase/firestore/lite');
const { getAuth, onAuthStateChanged } = require("firebase/auth");

const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    authDomain: "test-database-346d9.firebaseapp.com",
    projectId: "test-database-336c8",
    storageBucket: "test-database-346d9.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "59s8107465422",
    appId: "X:xxxxxxxxxxxx:web:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const db = getFirestore();

const auth = getAuth();
onAuthStateChanged(auth, (user) => {
    if (user) {
        const uid = user.uid;
        module.exports = {uid};
    } 
    else {
        return;
    }
});

server.js File:

const user_id = require('./firebase');
console.log(user_id.uid);

I've tested this out with other code snippets and they work just fine. I just don't understand why this can't seem to work out.

Another attempt I tried was this:
firebase.js File:

async function call() {
    const querySnapshot = await getDocs(collection(db, "user-account"));
    querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
        const auth = getAuth();
        onAuthStateChanged(auth, (user) => {
            if(user) {
                if(user.email !== doc.data().email) {
                    return;
                }
                else {
                  let uid = user.uid;
                  module.exports = {uid};
                }
            }
        });
    });
}
call();

This also doesn't seem to work out. All the code above is doing is checking whether the user email matches the email inside the Firestore database as well. I don't understand why I keep getting undefined returned, however. Could someone please show me the correct way to achieve what I'm trying to do? Thank you.

I was having same problem when I started working with firebase + NodeJs, the google's documentation seems to be messy for me so I did a little of research and found a custom react hook for firebase which simplify integrating firebase on my nodeJs app very easily. This custom react hook is called: react-firebase-hooks You can find out more info here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-firebase-hooks Basically in your case the code that you need is this:

 //imports import { useAuthState } from 'react-firebase-hooks/auth'; import { getAuth } from 'firebase/auth'; const auth = getAuth(firebaseApp); const Page = () =>{ //react-firebase hook const [user, loading, error] = useAuthState(auth, options); }

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/16.6.3/umd/react.production.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-dom/16.6.3/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>

and that's it, the user variable is an object that will contain all the informations that you'r looking for (id of user, email...)
