ReferenceError: firebase is not defined in firebase with nodejs

Question

I am trying to access the email and uid of current signed in user but this error is shown

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
    const admin = require('firebase-admin');
    admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
const firestore= admin.firestore();
    exports.StripeSource =functions.firestore.document('cards/{data}/tokens/{tokenid}').onCreate(async (tokenSnap,context) => {
      var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
    var name, email, photoUrl, uid, emailVerified;
      email = user.email;
      uid = user.uid; 
    console.log('User Email is :', email);

      });

Error in fire base log

ReferenceError: firebase is not defined
    at exports.StripeSource.functions.firestore.document.onCreate (/srv/index.js:8:14)
    at cloudFunction (/srv/node_modules/firebase-functions/lib/cloud-functions.js:131:23)
    at /worker/worker.js:825:24
    at <anonymous>
    at process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:229:7)

but changing firebase.auth().currentUser; to admin.auth().currentUser; it works perfectly but recieved error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'email' of undefined
    at exports.StripeSource.functions.firestore.document.onCreate (/srv/index.js:8:16)

Change this:

  var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;

into this:

  var user = admin.auth().currentUser;

Check here for more information:

Thanks peter. is there any way to access document name set according to user name? I can access a static document name in node js but if I set document name which is different for each user(may be according to name or email address) is there anyway access variable document name in nodejs?
