JS, firebase.auth() doesn't work in global context but works inside the functions? - firebase.Auth is not a function
Question
I have imported all the firebase scripts I need at the bottom of my HTML
<body>
...
<script src="/__/firebase/8.0.1/firebase-app.js"></script>
<script defer src="/__/firebase/8.0.1/firebase-auth.js"></script>
<script defer src="/__/firebase/8.0.1/firebase-firestore.js"></script>
<script defer src="/__/firebase/8.0.1/firebase-functions.js"></script>
<script defer src="/__/firebase/init.js?useEmulator=true"></script>
<script src="./scripts/app.js"></script>
</body>
and inside my app.js I'm useing firebase.auth() on form submit and it works fine.
loginForm.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const email = loginForm.email.value;
const password = loginForm.password.value;
firebase
.auth() -> works fine here!
.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
.then((user) => {
console.log('signed in', user);
loginForm.reset();
})
.catch((error) => {
loginForm.querySelector('.error').textContent = error.message;
});
});
But the problem occurs when i try to write onAuthStateChanged in global context of app.js
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
....
});
// throws an error "Uncaught TypeError: firebase.Auth is not a function"
funny thing is that when I console.log(firebase) it logs out correctly and I can see auth as well other methods like functions. By the way this applies to other firebase methods and not only auth .
Is this some kind of bug ?

This happened to me as well. This is not specific to firebase and turns out you cannot call any function directly in a global context. I suggest you place it in the componentDidMount function.
