passport-firebase-auth

Firebase Strategy base on firebase authentication

You must call firebase.initializeApp before use this Strategy.

Install

$ npm install passport-firebase-auth

Usage

Create an Application

Before using passport-firebase-auth, you must register an application with Firebase. If you have not already done so, a new project can be created in the Firebase Developers Console.

Configure Strategy

The Firebase authentication strategy authenticates users using a Firebase Token.

You must call

 firebase.initializeApp({
     serviceAccount: "path/to/serviceAccountCredentials.json",
     databaseURL: "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com"
 });

 

before using this strategy.

var FirebaseStrategy = require('passport-firebase-auth').Strategy;

passport.use(new FirebaseStrategy({
    firebaseProjectId: "project-id",
    authorizationURL: 'https://account.example.net/auth',
    callbackURL: 'https://www.example.net/auth/firebase/callback'
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, decodedToken, cb) {
    User.findOrCreate(..., function (err, user) {
      return cb(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'firebaseauth' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/firebase',
  passport.authenticate('firebaseauth', { }));

app.get('/auth/firebase/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('firebaseauth', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });
