Problem with Firebase Image Resize extension [duplicate] - google-cloud-functions

Question

I am following a tutorial to resize images via Cloud Functions on upload and am experiencing two major issues which I can't figure out:
1) If a PNG is uploaded, it generates the correctly sized thumbnails, but the preview of them won't load in Firestorage (Loading spinner shows indefinitely). It only shows the image after I click on "Generate new access token" (none of the generated thumbnails have an access token initially).
2) If a JPEG or any other format is uploaded, the MIME type shows as "application/octet-stream". I'm not sure how to extract the extension correctly to put into the filename of the newly generated thumbnails?
export const generateThumbs = functions.storage
.object()
.onFinalize(async object => {
const bucket = gcs.bucket(object.bucket);
const filePath = object.name;
const fileName = filePath.split('/').pop();
const bucketDir = dirname(filePath);
const workingDir = join(tmpdir(), 'thumbs');
const tmpFilePath = join(workingDir, 'source.png');
if (fileName.includes('thumb#') || !object.contentType.includes('image')) {
console.log('exiting function');
return false;
}
// 1. Ensure thumbnail dir exists
await fs.ensureDir(workingDir);
// 2. Download Source File
await bucket.file(filePath).download({
destination: tmpFilePath
});
// 3. Resize the images and define an array of upload promises
const sizes = [64, 128, 256];
const uploadPromises = sizes.map(async size => {
const thumbName = `thumb#${size}_${fileName}`;
const thumbPath = join(workingDir, thumbName);
// Resize source image
await sharp(tmpFilePath)
.resize(size, size)
.toFile(thumbPath);
// Upload to GCS
return bucket.upload(thumbPath, {
destination: join(bucketDir, thumbName)
});
});
// 4. Run the upload operations
await Promise.all(uploadPromises);
// 5. Cleanup remove the tmp/thumbs from the filesystem
return fs.remove(workingDir);
});
Would greatly appreciate any feedback!

Answer 1

I just had the same problem, for unknown reason Firebase's Resize Images on purposely remove the download token from the resized image
to disable deleting Download Access Tokens
goto https://console.cloud.google.com
select Cloud Functions from the left
select ext-storage-resize-images-generateResizedImage
Click EDIT
from Inline Editor goto file FUNCTIONS/LIB/INDEX.JS
Add // before this line (delete metadata.metadata.firebaseStorageDownloadTokens;)
Comment the same line from this file too FUNCTIONS/SRC/INDEX.TS
Press DEPLOY and wait until it finish
note: both original and resized will have the same Token.

Answer 2

I just started using the extension myself. I noticed that I can't access the image preview from the firebase console until I click on "create access token"
I guess that you have to create this token programatically before the image is available.
I hope it helps

In connection to #Somebody answer, I can't seem to find ext-storage-resize-images-generateResizedImage in GCP Cloud Functions
The better way to do it, is to reuse the original file's firebaseStorageDownloadTokens
this is how I did mine
functions
.storage
.object()
.onFinalize((object) => {
// some image optimization code here
// get the original file access token
const downloadtoken = object.metadata?.firebaseStorageDownloadTokens;
return bucket.upload(tempLocalFile, {
destination: file,
metadata: {
metadata: {
optimized: true, // other custom flags
firebaseStorageDownloadTokens: downloadtoken, // access token
}
});
});
