Firebase user.updateProfile({…}) not working in React App

Question

So, I have this ReactJS app, there is a user database,

The function for creating the user is this

import { ref, firebaseAuth } from \'./../Componen

Firebase Auth updateProfile only supports displayName and photoURL. It does not support client custom attributes. For admin custom attributes, you would need to use the admin SDK: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/custom-claims#set_and_validate_custom_user_claims_via_the_admin_sdk

You are probably better off in this case saving these arbitrary custom fields in the database only (provided they do not require admin privileges).
