Is there any logic possible to rename firebase upload file in angularjs controller

I would like to rename my uploaded files using some reGex before I store them in the firebase storage.

As much as I know now, firebase file metadata doesn't allow that. I was wondering if there is anyway possible to do that. I am using angularjs.

Property         Type      Writable
bucket           string    NO
generation       string    NO
metageneration   string    NO
fullPath         string    NO
name             string    NO

Unfortunately not, name is not editable property: https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/web/file-metadata#file_metadata_properties

When you upload a file to Firebase Storage, you explicitly specify the name that the file gets. From the documentation on uploading files:

// Create a root reference
var storageRef = firebase.storage().ref();

// Create a reference to 'mountains.jpg'
var mountainsRef = storageRef.child('mountains.jpg');

Now it doesn't matter what file you upload, it will be named mountains.jpg in Firebase Storage. For example:

var file = ... // use the Blob or File API
mountainsRef.put(file).then(function(snapshot) {
  console.log('Uploaded a blob or file!');
});
