In this tutorial, I will show you how to make File Upload/Display/Delete with Firebase Storage and Angular 10 with the help of @angular/fire. Files' info will be stored in Firebase Realtime Database.

Firebase Storage + Angular 10 example Overview

We’re gonna build an Angular 10 App that helps us:

  • upload file to Firebase Storage
  • see the progress bar with percentage
  • save file metadata (name, url) to Firebase Realtime Database
  • display list of files
  • delete any file in the list

The result in Firebase Cloud Storage:

And Realtime Database:

Following image shows the data flow with Angular Client, Firebase Cloud Storage & Firebase Realtime Database:

- File upload:

  • store a file to Firebase Cloud Storage
  • retrieve metadata (name, url) of the file from Firebase Cloud Storage
  • save metadata (name, url) to Firebase Realtime Database
  • Display/get/delete files: use the file metadata (name, url) which is stored in Realtime Database as reference to interact with Firebase Storage.
