According to the JS Auth documentation on the Firebase website, it only shows how to get the displayName and how to update displayName. So I tried to update it. But it is sort of not logical, because how can you update something without creating it.

So my question here is, how can I set displayName of user during registeration?

function createUser(email, password) {

    firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).catch(function (error) {

        error.message.replace(., );

        alert(error.message +  ( + error.code + ));

        document.getElementById(password).value = ;

    });

    if (firebase.auth().currentUser != null) {

        firebase.auth().currentUser.updateProfile({

            displayName: document.getElementById(name).value

        }).then(function () {

            console.log(Updated);

        }, function (error) {

            console.log(Error happened);

        });

    }

}

I have already tried this and it has been proven not to work...

Sincerely,
Farouk

You have to chain the request:

firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)

.then(function(result) {

  return result.user.updateProfile({

    displayName: document.getElementById(name).value

  })

}).catch(function(error) {

  console.log(error);

});`
