Usa metadatos de archivos con Cloud Storage en la Web
Organiza tus páginas con colecciones
Guarda y categoriza el contenido según tus preferencias.
Después de subir un archivo a la referencia de Cloud Storage, también puedes obtener o actualizar los metadatos del archivo, por ejemplo, para actualizar el tipo de contenido. Los archivos también pueden almacenar pares clave-valor personalizados con metadatos de archivo adicionales.
Obtén metadatos de archivos
Los metadatos de archivos contienen propiedades comunes, como name, size y
contentType (a menudo, denominado tipo de MIME), además de otros menos
comunes, como contentDisposition y timeCreated. Estos metadatos se pueden recuperar de una referencia de Cloud Storage con el método getMetadata(). getMetadata() muestra una Promise que contiene los metadatos completos, o bien un error si se rechaza la Promise.
Web

Para actualizar los metadatos de un archivo en cualquier momento después de haberlo subido, puedes usar el método updateMetadata(). Consulta la lista completa para obtener más información sobre qué propiedades se pueden actualizar. Solo se actualizan las propiedades especificadas en los metadatos; todas las demás quedan sin cambios. updateMetadata() muestra una Promise que contiene los metadatos completos, o bien un error si se rechaza la Promise.

Para borrar una propiedad de los metadatos, configúrala como null:
Web
import{getStorage,ref,updateMetadata}from"firebase/storage";conststorage=getStorage();constforestRef=ref(storage,'images/forest.jpg');// Create file metadata with property to deleteconstdeleteMetadata={contentType:null};// Delete the metadata propertyupdateMetadata(forestRef,deleteMetadata).then((metadata)=>{// metadata.contentType should be null}).catch((error)=>{// Uh-oh, an error occurred!});
// Create file metadata with property to deletevardeleteMetadata={contentType:null};// Delete the metadata propertyforestRef.updateMetadata(deleteMetadata).then((metadata)=>{// metadata.contentType should be null}).catch((error)=>{// Uh-oh, an error occurred!});
Existen diferentes motivos por los que pueden producirse errores cuando se quieren obtener o actualizar metadatos. Por ejemplo, es posible que el archivo no exista o que el usuario no tenga permiso para acceder al archivo deseado. Para obtener más información sobre los errores, consulta la
sección de los documentos denominada
Soluciona errores.
Metadatos personalizados
Puedes especificar metadatos personalizados como un objeto que contenga propiedades String.
Web
constmetadata={customMetadata:{'location':'Yosemite, CA, USA','activity':'Hiking'}};
Puedes usar metadatos personalizados a fin de almacenar datos específicos adicionales de la app para cada archivo, pero te recomendamos que uses una base de datos (como Firebase Realtime Database) para almacenar y sincronizar este tipo de datos.

Files\ncan also store custom key/value pairs with additional file metadata.\n| **Note:** By default, a Cloud Storage for Firebase bucket requires Firebase Authentication to perform any action on the bucket's data or files. You can change your Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Storage to [allow unauthenticated access for specific situations](/docs/storage/security/rules-conditions#public). However, for most situations, we strongly recommend [restricting access and setting up robust security rules](/docs/storage/security/get-started) (especially for production apps). Note that if you use Google App Engine and have a default Cloud Storage bucket with a name format of `*.appspot.com`, you may need to consider [how your security rules impact access to App Engine files](/docs/storage/gcp-integration#security-rules-and-app-engine-files).\n\nGet File Metadata\n\nFile metadata contains common properties such as `name`, `size`, and\n`contentType` (often referred to as MIME type) in addition to some less\ncommon ones like `contentDisposition` and `timeCreated`. This metadata can be\nretrieved from a Cloud Storage reference using\nthe `getMetadata()` method. `getMetadata()` returns a `Promise` containing the\ncomplete metadata, or an error if the `Promise` rejects. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref, getMetadata } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\n// Create a reference to the file whose metadata we want to retrieve\nconst storage = getStorage();\nconst forestRef = ref(storage, 'images/forest.jpg');\n\n// Get metadata properties\ngetMetadata(forestRef)\n .then((metadata) =\u003e {\n // Metadata now contains the metadata for 'images/forest.jpg'\n })\n .catch((error) =\u003e {\n // Uh-oh, an error occurred!\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/file-metadata/storage_get_metadata.js#L8-L21\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Create a reference to the file whose metadata we want to retrieve\nvar forestRef = storageRef.child('images/forest.jpg');\n\n// Get metadata properties\nforestRef.getMetadata()\n .then((metadata) =\u003e {\n // Metadata now contains the metadata for 'images/forest.jpg'\n })\n .catch((error) =\u003e {\n // Uh-oh, an error occurred!\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/file-metadata.js#L8-L18\n```\n\nUpdate File Metadata\n\nYou can update file metadata at any time after the file upload completes by\nusing the `updateMetadata()` method. Refer to the\n[full list](#file_metadata_properties) for more information on what properties\ncan be updated. Only the properties specified in the metadata are updated,\nall others are left unmodified. `updateMetadata()` returns a `Promise`\ncontaining the complete metadata, or an error if the `Promise` rejects. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref, updateMetadata } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\n// Create a reference to the file whose metadata we want to change\nconst storage = getStorage();\nconst forestRef = ref(storage, 'images/forest.jpg');\n\n// Create file metadata to update\nconst newMetadata = {\n cacheControl: 'public,max-age=300',\n contentType: 'image/jpeg'\n};\n\n// Update metadata properties\nupdateMetadata(forestRef, newMetadata)\n .then((metadata) =\u003e {\n // Updated metadata for 'images/forest.jpg' is returned in the Promise\n }).catch((error) =\u003e {\n // Uh-oh, an error occurred!\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/file-metadata/storage_update_metadata.js#L8-L26\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Create a reference to the file whose metadata we want to change\nvar forestRef = storageRef.child('images/forest.jpg');\n\n// Create file metadata to update\nvar newMetadata = {\n cacheControl: 'public,max-age=300',\n contentType: 'image/jpeg'\n};\n\n// Update metadata properties\nforestRef.updateMetadata(newMetadata)\n .then((metadata) =\u003e {\n // Updated metadata for 'images/forest.jpg' is returned in the Promise\n }).catch((error) =\u003e {\n // Uh-oh, an error occurred!\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/file-metadata.js#L26-L41\n```\n\nYou can delete a metadata property by setting it to `null`: \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nimport { getStorage, ref, updateMetadata } from \"firebase/storage\";\n\nconst storage = getStorage();\nconst forestRef = ref(storage, 'images/forest.jpg');\n\n// Create file metadata with property to delete\nconst deleteMetadata = {\n contentType: null\n};\n\n// Delete the metadata property\nupdateMetadata(forestRef, deleteMetadata)\n .then((metadata) =\u003e {\n // metadata.contentType should be null\n }).catch((error) =\u003e {\n // Uh-oh, an error occurred!\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/file-metadata/storage_delete_metadata.js#L8-L24\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\n// Create file metadata with property to delete\nvar deleteMetadata = {\n contentType: null\n};\n\n// Delete the metadata property\nforestRef.updateMetadata(deleteMetadata)\n .then((metadata) =\u003e {\n // metadata.contentType should be null\n }).catch((error) =\u003e {\n // Uh-oh, an error occurred!\n });https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/file-metadata.js#L50-L62\n```\n\nHandle Errors\n\nThere are a number of reasons why errors may occur on getting or updating\nmetadata, including the file not existing, or the user not having permission\nto access the desired file. More information on errors can be found in the\n[Handle Errors](/docs/storage/web/handle-errors)\nsection of the docs.\n\nCustom Metadata\n\nYou can specify custom metadata as an object containing `String` properties. \n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nconst metadata = {\n customMetadata: {\n 'location': 'Yosemite, CA, USA',\n 'activity': 'Hiking'\n }\n};https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/snippets/storage-next/file-metadata/storage_custom_metadata.js#L8-L13\n```\n\nWeb \n\n```javascript\nvar metadata = {\n customMetadata: {\n 'location': 'Yosemite, CA, USA',\n 'activity': 'Hiking'\n }\n};https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/467eaa165dcbd9b3ab15711e76fa52237ba37f8b/storage/file-metadata.js#L68-L73\n```\n\nYou can use custom metadata for storing additional app specific data for each\nfile, but we highly recommend using a database (such as the\n[Firebase Realtime Database](/docs/database))\nto store and synchronize this type of data.\n\nFile Metadata Properties\n\nA full list of metadata properties on a file is available below:\n\n| Property | Type | Writable |\n|----------------------|--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|\n| `bucket` | string | NO |\n| `generation` | string | NO |\n| `metageneration` | string | NO |\n| `fullPath` | string | NO |\n| `name` | string | NO |\n| `size` | number | NO |\n| `timeCreated` | string | NO |\n| `updated` | string | NO |\n| `md5Hash` | string | YES on upload, NO on updateMetadata |\n| `cacheControl` | string | YES |\n| `contentDisposition` | string | YES |\n| `contentEncoding` | string | YES |\n| `contentLanguage` | string | YES |\n| `contentType` | string | YES |\n| `customMetadata` | Object containing string-\\\u003estring mappings | YES |\n\n| **Note:** at present, setting the `md5Hash` property on upload doesn't affect the upload, as hash verification is not yet implemented.\n\nUploading, downloading, and updating files is important, but so is being able\nto remove them.
