How can I use React Firebase Hooks for file storage?

You can use the useStorage hook from the react-firebase-hooks/storage library to manage file uploads.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { useStorage } from 'react-firebase-hooks/storage';
import { storage } from './firebase';

const FileUpload = () => {
  const [uploadFile, uploading, error] = useStorage(storage.ref('path/to/file'));

  const handleUpload = (file) => {
    uploadFile(file);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input type='file' onChange={(e) => handleUpload(e.target.files[0])} />
      {uploading && <p>Uploading...</p>}
      {error && <p>Error: {error.message}</p>}
    </div>
  );
};

This will handle file uploads to Firebase Storage.

What happens if the upload fails?

If the upload fails, the error variable will contain the error message, which you can display to the user.
