I added the following function to my website. I am using Firebase Storage but for some reason it seems as if it is not working and I have no idea why.
When you upload a file the progress bar should show the progress of saving/uploading the file to Firebase Storage but that is not the case. Firebase has been initialized and I know it works.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me and tell me why the function is not working as described above and how to fix it.
function AddMed() {
var uploader = document.getElementById("uploader");
var fileButton = document.getElementById("fileButton");
var email = sessionStorage.getItem("email");
//Listen for file selection
fileButton.addEventListener('change', function (e) {
// Get File
var file = e.target.files[0];
//Create a storage ref
var storageRef = firebase.storage().ref('file/' + file.name);
/** folder name will be email,
Will have to transfer variable from page to page and files will be .jpeg**/
//Upload file
var task = storageRef.put(file);
//Update progress bar
task.on('state_changed',
function progress(snapshot) {
var percentage = (snapshot.bytesTransferred / snapshot.totalBytes) * 100;
uploader.value = percentage;
},
function complete() {
});
});
}

- Is the upload process working and you want the progress bar working or the whole process? – mcd Commented Dec 25, 2016 at 9:14
- @maximilian_cs the whole process isn't working – SpiderMonkey Commented Dec 26, 2016 at 19:20

Reset to default 36- First change the security Rules
service firebase.storage {
match /b/{bucket}/o {
match /{allPaths=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth == null;
}
}
