[storage] overwriting the same file

[archelogos]

Hi there!!

Currently it's not possible to upload more than 1 file which is overwritten every time that another file is uploaded.
It occurs because the ref path is a constant string 'images'.

In /storage/index.html line 88:

var uploadTask = storageRef.child('images').put(file, metadata);

So something like this should fix this problem:

var uploadTask = storageRef.child('images/' + new Date().getTime() + file.name).put(file, metadata);

I am also stuck with this issue, images overwrite themselves with the same name,
I found it very useful. Although one improvement i used Date.now() + file.name instead. :)

Here is now the full code in the end

const handleFileUpload = (file) => {
        const storageRef = storage.ref();
        const metadata = {
            customMetadata: {
                size: `${file.size}`,
                title: `${file.name}`
            },
        };
        const uploadTask = storageRef
            .child("images/" + Date.now() + file.name)
            .put(file, metadata);

        uploadTask.on(
            'state_changed',
            (snapshot) => {
                let progress = (snapshot.bytesTransferred / snapshot.totalBytes) * 100;
                console.log("Upload is " + progress + "% done");
                setUpload(progress);
            },
            (error) => {
            },
            () => {
                // Upload completed successfully, now we can get the download URL
                uploadTask.snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL().then((downloadURL) => {
                    handleSetImageOnDocument(downloadURL, metadata.customMetadata);
                });
            }
        );
    }
