React-native-firebase: incorrect usage and import statement for AuthorizationStatus

[sushrut-desora]

Documentation Feedback

https://rnfirebase.io/messaging/usage
Under the section iOS - Requesting permissions

Wrong:
import messaging, { AuthorizationStatus } from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';

This import is incorrect and AuthorizationStatus is undefined when imported this way.

Instead import only messaging
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';

and use AuthorizationStatus as below

const enabled = (authStatus === messaging.AuthorizationStatus.AUTHORIZED ||
        authStatus === messaging.AuthorizationStatus.PROVISIONAL);

"@react-native-firebase/messaging": "7.1.7",

There's an "edit page" button at the top of that page. If you click it, you can make a super quick edit and PR for us to merge! 🙂

I'm not sure the premise is correct though perhaps I just have a different view coming at it from typescript
My usage looks like this:

(base) mike@kunashir:~/work/Kullki/ksocialscore/packages/public-app/src (rebranding) % grep -r FirebaseMessagingTypes *
app/AppBootstrapperNative.tsx:import { FirebaseMessagingTypes } from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';
app/AppBootstrapperNative.tsx:      (message: FirebaseMessagingTypes.RemoteMessage): Promise<null> => {
services/BackgroundTaskService.ts:import { FirebaseMessagingTypes } from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';
services/BackgroundTaskService.ts:    firebase.messaging().onMessage((message: FirebaseMessagingTypes.RemoteMessage) => {
services/BackgroundTaskService.ts:  public cloudMessageHandler = (message: FirebaseMessagingTypes.RemoteMessage) => {
services/BackgroundTaskService.ts:    message: FirebaseMessagingTypes.RemoteMessage
services/BackgroundTaskService.ts:    let enabled = FirebaseMessagingTypes.AuthorizationStatus.NOT_DETERMINED;
services/BackgroundTaskService.ts:    if (enabled !== FirebaseMessagingTypes.AuthorizationStatus.DENIED) {

And you know with Typescript you don't get to guess about imports and types, they work, or they don't. This works?

@mikehardy this is correct, it's a static variable on the messaging instance so has to be messaging.AuthorizationStatus.AUTHORIZED when not using TypesScript
