Current behavior
I implemented deleteUser() (thanks #281!) but if the user's most recent login is more than 5 minutes ago, the operation is rejected by Firebase with the error auth/requires-recent-login.
In this situation, the Firebase docs say to use reauthenticateWithCredential(), however, this function is unavailable.
Expected behavior
I hope for a way to ask the user to re-authenticate in-place. Otherwise I think I'd have to log them out, which resets all app state, then get them to log back in, navigate back to the delete account page, and re-try within 5 minutes.
Reproduction
n/a
Steps to reproduce
export async function deleteUser() {
try {
await FirebaseAuthentication.deleteUser()
} catch (err) {
//
// If 'err' is `auth/requires-recent-login`, Firebase docs say to try something like the below:
//
const auth = getFirebaseAuth() // my function for generating auth.currentUser
const credential = getCredential() // my function for generating credential
// THIS FAILS, because the function does not exist
await FirebaseAuthentication.reauthenticateWithCredential(auth.currentUser, credential)
await FirebaseAuthentication.deleteUser() // retry
}
}
