Firebase retrieve the user data stored in local storage as firebase:authUser:

Question

I am working with Firebase and AngularJS. I am using Auth authentication for google login and i completed the process.Now i need to retrieve the user data that is stored in local storage like firebase:authUser:.

Once i login with google account in local storage you have firebase:authUser:.created and i need to fetch these details.

I used the following method to store user data

firebase.database().ref('users/' + user.uid).set
({
     name: user.displayName,
     email: user.email,
     token: token
});

Just to augment @Franciso Mateo's answer: the mentioned filtering, just returns the key (string) with which the serialized user object is stored in local storage. To get the actual deserialized user object, we need to read the item with this key from local storage:

const userKey = Object.keys(window.localStorage)
  .filter(it => it.startsWith('firebase:authUser'))[0];
const user = userKey ? JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(userKey)) : undefined;
