FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions

Question

I am in big trouble with firestore. here there is a link for the code sources: https://github.com/10100011001/10100011001.github.io/tree/master/public/assets/scripts

Model:

self.saveData = function(input) { 
    let userInfo = {
      username : input.value,
      userScore : self.settings.playerScore,
    };
    let userStr = JSON.stringify(userInfo);
    localStorage.setItem('user', userStr);
    let name = input.value,
        score = self.settings.playerScore;
    myAppDB.collection('results').doc(`player_${name.replace(/\s/g, "").toLowerCase()}`).set({
      player: `${name}`,
      score: `${score}`,
    })
    .then(function() {
      console.log('result saved');
     })
     .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('error saving result: ', error);
    });
    myView.clearInput(input);
    myView.closeModal();
  };

Controller:

self.saveData = function() {  // сохраняем данные из инпута
  let input = myControllerContainer.querySelector('#playerName');
  myModel.saveData(input);
}

That will be a problem with your firebase rules not with your code: firebase.google.com/docs/database/security — acupofjose

Quoted from your comment:

these are my [security] rules ... allow read, write: if false

Since you said if false,

that condition will never be true,
hence your security rules will not allow you to write to your database from the front end.

You could

use the Admin SDK in a backend Cloud Function to do the write, or
change the rule.

Edit:

Please note that while it is convenient to set your read write rules to if true during development, that means that anyone can access your database!

I highly recommend reading the documentation on Firestore security rules, and, as soon as you have anything important in your database, developing rules to reflect appropriate access levels for yourself, your team, and your end users, registered and unregistered.
