Deleting account/user in firebase using REST API - firebase

Question

I trying to delete an account in firebase using REST API, axios and React Native?
Look at my code:
import React, {Component} from 'react'
import {View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet} from 'react-native'
import axios from 'axios'
class App extends Component {
deleteAccount = () => {
axios.post('https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:delete?key=[API_KEY]', {
"idToken":"[FIREBASE_ID_TOKEN]"
})
}
render() {
return(
<View style={styles.container}>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={this.deleteAccount}>
<Text>Button</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
)
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center'
}
})
export default App
PS.: Maybe, I'm puting the wrong FIREBASE_ID_TOKEN
Where can I get the right FIREBASE_ID_TOKEN?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The ID token you need to use comes from User#getIdToken(). This function returns a Promise containing the user's ID token that you then send off to the Identity Toolkit API.
Make sure to replace [API_KEY] with the Web API Key that you'll find on the project settings page.
deleteAccount = () => {
firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdToken(/* forceRefresh */ true)
.then((userIdToken) => {
return axios.post('https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:delete?key=[API_KEY]', {
"idToken": userIdToken
});
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
// TODO: update UI that account was deleted
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
// TODO: update UI that operation failed
});
}
