Firebase REST API for Cloudflare Workers

The Auth module uses Google's Identity Platform REST API found here:

• https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.accounts
• https://docs.cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/reference/rest/v1/accounts

Many methods can be called with an idToken from the user and only require an API key. The API key can be found in your Firebase project settings General page under a web project. Other methods require a Google OAuth 2.0 token for "admin access". This is created automatically if you provide a service account. You can get your service account JSON in your Firebase project settings Service accounts page by clicking [Generate new private key].

The Firestore module uses Google's Firestore REST APIs found here:

• https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/use-rest-api
• https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/reference/rest/

Getting Started

Install the package.

npm install workers-firebase

Import and initialize. You need your Firebase API key from the project settings.

import { App, Auth, Firestore } from 'workers-firebase';

// With service account (for admin operations)
const app = new App(serviceAccount, 'your-api-key');

const auth = app.auth();
const firestore = app.firestore();

Or create services directly without the App wrapper.

import { Auth, Firestore } from 'workers-firebase';

const auth = new Auth({ projectId: 'your-project-id' }, 'your-api-key');
const firestore = new Firestore({ projectId: 'your-project-id' }, 'your-api-key');

User operations work with just the API key. Admin operations need the service account.

// User operation - just needs API key
const { user, tokens } = await auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword('[email protected]', 'password');

// Admin operation - requires service account
await auth.setCustomUserClaims(user.uid, { role: 'admin' });

Auth

verify

Check if a JWT token is valid. Returns the token payload with user info.

const payload = await auth.verify(idToken);
console.log(payload.uid); // User ID

signInWithEmailAndPassword

Sign in a user. Returns user data and tokens.

const { user, tokens } = await auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword('[email protected]', 'password');

signInWithIdp

Sign in with OAuth providers like Google or Facebook. Pass the credentials and request URI.

const { user, tokens, isNewUser } = await auth.signInWithIdp(credentials, requestUri);

signInWithCustomToken

Sign in using a custom token you created. Useful for server-side authentication.

const { user, tokens } = await auth.signInWithCustomToken(customToken);

refreshToken

Get a new ID token when the current one expires.

const tokens = await auth.refreshToken(refreshToken);

signUp

Create a new user account.

const { user, tokens } = await auth.signUp('[email protected]', 'password', 'Display Name');

getUser

Get user information by ID token or UID.

const user = await auth.getUser(idToken); // or UID

getUsers

Get multiple users at once by UIDs or emails.

const users = await auth.getUsers({ uids: ['uid1', 'uid2'] });
// or
const users = await auth.getUsers({ emails: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'] });

updateUser

Update user profile information.

const tokens = await auth.updateUser(idToken, {
  name: 'New Name',
  email: '[email protected]',
  photoUrl: 'https://example.com/photo.jpg'
});

updatePassword

Change a user's password.

const tokens = await auth.updatePassword(idToken, 'newPassword');

deleteUser

Remove a user account.

await auth.deleteUser(idToken); // or UID

sendVerification

Send an email verification link to the user.

await auth.sendVerification(idToken);

verifyAccount

Confirm email verification using the code from the email.

const tokens = await auth.verifyAccount(oobCode);

requestPasswordReset

Send a password reset email.

await auth.requestPasswordReset('[email protected]');

resetPassword

Reset password using the code from the reset email.

await auth.resetPassword(oobCode, 'newPassword');

queryAccounts (Admin)

Search for users. Requires service account.

const { count, users } = await auth.queryAccounts({ limit: 100 });

setCustomUserClaims (Admin)

Add custom data to a user's token. Requires service account.

await auth.setCustomUserClaims(uid, { role: 'admin', tier: 'premium' });

createCustomToken (Admin)

Generate a custom token for a user. Requires service account.

const customToken = await auth.createCustomToken(uid);

getUserToken (Admin)

Get an ID token for any user. Requires service account.

const idToken = await auth.getUserToken(uid);

Firestore

collection

Get a reference to a collection.

const users = firestore.collection('users');

doc

Get a reference to a document.

const userDoc = firestore.doc('users/user123');

runTransaction

Run multiple operations atomically. Either all succeed or all fail.

await firestore.runTransaction(async () => {
  const doc = await firestore.doc('counters/visitors').get();
  const count = doc.data().count + 1;
  await firestore.doc('counters/visitors').update({ count });
});

batch

Group multiple writes together. More efficient than individual writes.

const batch = firestore.batch();
batch.create(firestore.doc('users/user1'), { name: 'Alice' });
batch.update(firestore.doc('users/user2'), { status: 'active' });
batch.delete(firestore.doc('users/user3'));
await batch.commit();

autoId

Generate a unique document ID.

const id = firestore.autoId();

batchGet

Read multiple documents in one request.

const docs = await firestore.batchGet([
  firestore.doc('users/user1'),
  firestore.doc('users/user2')
]);

Document Operations

get

Read a document.

const doc = await firestore.doc('users/user123').get();
if (doc.exists) {
  console.log(doc.data());
}

create

Create a new document. Fails if it already exists.

await firestore.doc('users/user123').create({ name: 'Alice', email: '[email protected]' });

set

Write a document. Overwrites if it exists.

await firestore.doc('users/user123').set({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 });

Use merge to update specific fields without overwriting the whole document.

await firestore.doc('users/user123').set({ age: 31 }, { merge: true });

update

Update specific fields. Document must exist.

await firestore.doc('users/user123').update({ age: 31, 'address.city': 'New York' });

delete

Remove a document.

await firestore.doc('users/user123').delete();

listCollections

Get all subcollections under a document.

const collections = await firestore.doc('users/user123').listCollections();

Collection Operations

doc

Get or create a document reference. Auto-generates ID if not provided.

const ref = firestore.collection('users').doc(); // auto ID
const ref2 = firestore.collection('users').doc('user123');

add

Create a new document with an auto-generated ID.

const ref = await firestore.collection('users').add({ name: 'Alice' });
console.log(ref.id);

listDocuments

Get all document references in a collection.

const refs = await firestore.collection('users').listDocuments();

Queries

where

Filter results.

const query = firestore.collection('users')
  .where('age', '>', 25)
  .where('status', '==', 'active');

Supported operators: <, <=, ==, !=, >, >=, array-contains, in, not-in, array-contains-any

orderBy

Sort results.

const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('age', 'desc');

limit

Limit number of results.

const query = firestore.collection('users').limit(10);

limitToLast

Get the last N results. Requires orderBy.

const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('createdAt').limitToLast(10);

offset

Skip the first N results.

const query = firestore.collection('users').offset(20);

Pagination

Use cursors to paginate through results.

// Start at a value
const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('name').startAt('Alice');

// Start after a value
const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('name').startAfter('Alice');

// End at a value
const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('name').endAt('Zoe');

// End before a value
const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('name').endBefore('Zoe');

// Or use a document snapshot
const lastDoc = await firestore.doc('users/user123').get();
const query = firestore.collection('users').orderBy('name').startAfter(lastDoc);

get

Execute the query and get results.

const snapshot = await firestore.collection('users').where('age', '>', 25).get();
console.log(snapshot.size);
snapshot.forEach(doc => console.log(doc.data()));
