Error in retrieving response from firebase cloud function

I am a beginner to Firebase cloud Functions. My main motivation of using cloud functions is for authentication.

index.js (in functions folder)

    var admin = require("firebase-admin");
    const functions = require('firebase-functions');
    const createuser = require('./funs/create_user');
    var serviceAccount = require('./funs/serviceAccount.json');

    admin.initializeApp({
       credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
       databaseURL: "//Given by Firebase"
    });


    exports.createuser = functions.https.onRequest(createuser);

create_user.js

    const admin = require("firebase-admin");
    module.exports = function (req,res) {

       if(!req.body.phone)
       {
           return res.status(422).send({error: "Bad Input"});
       }

       const phone = String(req.body.phone).replace(/[^\d]/g,"");

       admin.auth().createUser({ uid: phone })
       .then((user) => res.send(user))
       .catch((err)=>res.status(422).send({error:err}));

       //return 1;

     }

When I call the function using Postman, I pass data to the cloud function as:

     {
         "phone": "1212121212"         
      }

I get response as "Bad Input" as specified inside of if statement.

On removal of the if condition i get this as my response

  {
    "error": {
    "code": "auth/invalid-uid",
    "message": "The uid must be a non-empty string with at most 128 
    characters."
  }
 }

Postman

Please change type="text" to type="JSON" in postman when hit the POST request

Your Cloud Function code is valid, I have successfully tested it in a Firebase project, using the Axios library as follows, in an HTML page. 

axios.post('https://us-central1-xxxxxxxx.cloudfunctions.net/testPhoneNbr', {
    phone: '0471214365'
})
    .then(function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
        console.log(error);
    });

The user is correctly created.

The problem is probably coming from the way you call the HTTPS Cloud Function.
