Node.js upload images to firebase storage

I am trying to upload files(images) in my firebase cloud function. After reading many posts, I found that the only way that I can do this is to use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) API, and here is my code:

const storage = require('@google-cloud/storage')();
var bucket = storage.bucket('myBucketName');
var buffer = bufferRepresentMyImage;
// what next?

I found the following code from GCP's API:

bucket.upload(filename, (err, file) => {
    // code goes here
});

However, it doesn't seem like will work since it never ask for file's data, and instead, the callback function returns a file. Can anyone please show me how to upload image with bucket?

The remote destination filename is included in the options param. filename in your example (and this answer) is the local filename path.

let options = {
        destination: fileNameOnDestinationBucket,
        metadata: {                   // (optional)
            metadata: yourCustomMetadata,
            contentType: 'image/jpeg' // (example)
        }
    };

// with Promise:
bucket.upload(filename, options).then((response)=>{
    ...
});

// with callback:
bucket.upload(filename, options, (err, metadata, response)=>{
....
});
