Replies for: Where do you initialize storageRef?

In the upload hook, I have edited to the post to reflect the source code... thanks for the catch

var firebaseConfig = {
// ADD YOUR FIREBASE CONFIGURATION
};
// Initialize Firebase
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

interface UploadDataResponse { metaData: firebase.storage.FullMetadata, downloadUrl: any };
interface ProgressResponse { value: number }

// the firebase reference to storage
const storageRef = firebase.storage().ref();

There's no useRef, just let ref = storageRef
That's the only mention of storageRef in the article. Where does it get its value?

Thanks, I have a project where I'm going to use Firebase file upload in react shortly. I'll be gladly using your hook. Nice work!
