How to retrieve image's url from Firebase's storage?

Question

I have this code straight from the documentation of Firebase :

// Create a reference to the file we want to download
  var user = firebase.auth().currentUser.uid;
  var storageRef = firebase.storage();
  var pathReference = storageRef.ref('/' + user + '/profilePicture/' + image.name);

  //var starsRef = storageRef.child('/' + user + '/profilePicture/' + file.name);

  // Get the download URL
  pathReference.getDownloadURL().then(function(url) {
  // Insert url into an <img> tag to "download"
      $scope.imageUrl = url;
      console.log($scope.imageUrl);
  });

But I can not figure what to write in my html file in order to get the image showing... Any help ?

Answer 1

Just put your result inside a variable of your controller and in ng-src on the HTML.

The best would be to use a service to get the URL and not directly in the controller.

Controller

app.controller('MyController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    // Create a reference to the file we want to download
    var user = firebase.auth().currentUser.uid;
    var starsRef = storageRef.child('/' + user + '/profilePicture/' + file.name);

    // Get the download URL
    starsRef.getDownloadURL().then(function(url) {
    // Insert url into an <img> tag to "download"
        $scope.imageUrl = url;
    });
}]);

HTML

<img ng-src="{{imageUrl}}"/>
