Display name property updating when updating the user profile email/password type users

[handihow]

Below is true only for email/password type users. It seems to work properly for social login users...

When updating the user's profile, the "Name" field in the form does not get automatically filled with the "displayName" property saved in Firebase.

Also there is an error and the form does not appear nicely.
The console displays: "ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null" on UserComponent.html: 55.

Seeing the same issue when I try to edit displayName

@handihow how are you updating the user's profile ?

I assume that you changed the values of the user's profile directly via firestore...

Those values actually are related directly to the firebase authentication system.

That means, I sync the firebase auth system with firestore and not vice versa.

In other words, you can only update the user profile (firebase auth system) via the ngx-auth-firebaseui-user component and than the profile will be updated in firestore.

To prevent updating the profile directly from firestore, I should now solve this issue #216

Regarding ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null" on is now fixed

I hope that was helpful 🍻

@AnthonyNahas thanks for the clarification and the update of the code!

Also updated my code and now everything is working like a charm!
