Upload multiple files transactionally in Firebase Storage
// set it up
firebase.storage().ref().constructor.prototype.putFiles = function(files) {
var ref = this;
return Promise.all(files.map(function(file) {
return ref.child(file.name).put(file);
}));
}
// use it!
firebase.storage().ref().putFiles(files).then(function(metadatas) {
// Get an array of file metadata
}).catch(function(error) {
// If any task fails, handle this
});

You can do it like this:

const { target: { files } } = event;
const filesToStore = [];

files.forEach(file => filesToStore.push(file));
this.setState({ files: filesToStore });

Or, instead of destructure the event object, you can use de Array prototype with an object,

Array.from(event.target.files).forEach(file => filesToStore.push(file));

Or, you can still iterate through the files with a for...loop

With "transactionally" , do you mean that if we upload two file and the second file upload fail for some reason, then if the first file upload was completed correctly, it will be canceled from the storage without any effort from me?
