Add additional data to user profile via firestore functions onCreate

Question

I'm trying to automatically create a user data in my firestore db when user sign up through firestore functions. However I got 2 option for sign up. Bussiness account and personal account. If user signup as bussiness then I want to add "usertype = 1" into my document and when personal then "usertype=2" I managed to automaticaly create a document on signup via functions

const functions = require('firebase-functions')
const admin = require('firebase-admin')

admin.initializeApp()

const db = admin.firestore()

exports.createUserData = functions.auth.user().onCreate((user) => {
const uid = user.uid
const email = user.email
const newUserRef = db.collection("user").doc(uid)

return newUserRef.set({
    userId: uid,
    email: email
})
});

But how I can I also pass "usertype" into that function? Or which function to use to do that?

No additional information is passed into the functions.auth.user().onCreate( function, so there's no way to distinguish between the two types of users there.

The best you can do is set the user-type from within the client by writing the same document from there. To prevent a race condition, you'll want to move the entire creation of the user-document to the client.
