capacitor-firebase-auth

Fork From baumblatt/capacitor-firebase-auth

Trying on Firebase 8

Because of Firebase 8 has many things changes and sometimes no backward compatible This Repository change dependencies of Firebase to more than 8.0.0 and use

import firebase from 'firebase'

instead of

import * as firebase from 'firebase'

as it was on the older version of firebase. I had seen in next branch but this repository build for local package use.

To use in local

I think baumblatt/capacitor-firebase-auth will be released for the next version, when it's stable. So use it but if you want to use this one you can install my version of npm you can install with

npm install --save @theethawat/fb8-capacitor-firebase-auth

or build it with these command show behind

• Clone this Repository
• run npm install to install dependencies
• run npm run prepublishOnly to build the package (after that package file will located in /dist/)
• run npm init --scope=@your-username to make your package
• run npm link

and one your another directory or another project on your computer if you want to install this package run

npm link @your-username/packagename

and working like it is imported from NPM Registry

Thank you @baumblatt a lot for his repository.

Capacitor plugin for Firebase Authentication that handle the authentication on Native layer and propagate the token to the web view layer. After the sign-in process completes, the user will be signed in within both tiers.

The plugin supports Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple and Phone providers in Android, iOS and Web.

✅ - Ready
🚧 - Work in progress
🧠 - Thinking about, date to be defined

Important notes for upgrading between minor or major versions.

from 2.2.x to 2.3.x

Requires Capacitor Framework v2.2.1 or newer. This is another episode of the Capacitor Framework braking changes on Android platform (com.getcapacitor.Config, now com.getcapacitor.CapConfig).

Really sorry about braking changes in minor release, but I want to follow major version of the Capacitor Framework.

from 2.0.x to 2.2.x

You need to use version 2.2.0 of the Capacitor Framework due braking changes on Android platform (com.getcapacitor.Config)

from 0.3.x to 2.0.0

Sorry about that, but there is no path to do it, I my case, me and my team decided to re-build the projects from scratch, this does not mean code rewrite, just a project, configurations and build. The good news is, there is no change on Typescript/Javascript/Java/Swift facades.

Anyway, you can make a try with Capacitor Framework update instructions: From <= 1.5.1 to 2.0.0

from 0.2.x to 0.3.0: esModuleInterop

The firebase import was changed using esModuleInterop, that was a Stencil requirements, please see issue #38.

1 import firebase from 'firebase/app';
         ~~~~~~~~
    8601 export = firebase;
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This module is declared with using 'export =', and can only be used with a default import when using the 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' flag.

If you see the message above, please use esModuleInterop=true in your tsconfig.json file.

from 0.1.x to 0.2.0: GoogleSignIn 5.0.0

Required GoogleSignIn 5.0.0 on iOS platform, run pod update if using lower version.

Next steps

1. Test for Apple provider for Android
2. Apple provider for Web
3. Link social accounts
4. Email/Password Provider

Should we do this? It's very simple to authenticate on WebView without any plugin. For awhile, waiting a good reason to do it. (track interest on Issue #24)

How to Install

Install the plugin into your Capacitor project with npm.

npm install --save capacitor-firebase-auth

Don't forget to run npx cap sync once after the installation to propagate the plugin to native projects.

How to Config

The minimal version of some peer dependencies that breaks with previous versions

• FBSDKCoreKit 5.0.0 (see issue #12)
• FBSDKLoginKit 5.0.0 (see issue #12)
• GoogleSignIn 5.0.0 (see issue #14 and #15)

Capacitor Plugins

1. In file capacitor.config.json config the providers list, language code and native authentication as desired

   [...]
     "plugins": {
       "CapacitorFirebaseAuth": {
         "providers": ["google.com", "twitter.com", "facebook.com", "phone"],
         "languageCode": "en",
         "nativeAuth": false,
         "properties": {
           "google": {
               "hostedDomain": "my-custom-domain.com"
           }
         },
         "permissions": {
              "google": ["profile", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive", ...]
          }
       }
     }
   [...]
   

   Note: nativeAuth is a feature supported for Google, Twitter and Facebook (not Phone or Apple) to sign the user on the native layer too.

   This is useful if you need to handle any feature provided by another plugin that needs authentication.

   Note 2: Don't forget to remove hosted domain properties from Google SignIn in case you don't need it. See more here about this feature.

2. In file android/app/src/main/java/.../MainActivity.java add the reference to the Capacitor Firebase Auth plugin inside the Bridge initialization.

   [...]
   import com.baumblatt.capacitor.firebase.auth.CapacitorFirebaseAuth;
   // Initializes the Bridge
   this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
     // Additional plugins you've installed go here
     // Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
     add(CapacitorFirebaseAuth.class);
   }});
   [...]
   

3. For Typescript users, please, review your tsconfig.json and ensure that you are using esModuleInterop=true.

Firebase

1. Follow instructions to add Firebase to your native project:
   • Add Firebase to your Android project
   • Add Firebase to your iOS project
2. If you haven't yet connected your app to your Firebase project, do so from the Firebase console.

Please, don't forgot your Google Service .json or .plist file or your app will crash on the startup.

Firebase iOS specific configurations

3. Add the pods that you want to install. You can include a Pod in your Podfile like this:

Facebook Android specific configurations

1. Add the dependency for Facebook SDK to your app-level build.gradle file:

   implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:5.15.3'
   

2. In file android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, add the following XML elements under <manifest><application> :

   <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"
       android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>
   
   <activity
       android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
       android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
       android:label="@string/app_name" />
   
   <activity
       android:name="com.facebook.CustomTabActivity"
       android:exported="true">
       <intent-filter>
           <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
           <data android:scheme="@string/fb_login_protocol_scheme" />
       </intent-filter>
   </activity>

3. In file android/app/src/main/res/values/ids.xml add the following lines :

   <string name="facebook_app_id">[APP_ID]</string>
   <string name="fb_login_protocol_scheme">fb[APP_ID]://authorize</string>

   Don't forget to replace [APP_ID] by your Facebook App ID.

Facebook iOS specific configurations

1. Add your your [APP_ID] and [APP_NAME] keys in the file ios/App/App/Info.plist.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
   <plist version="1.0">
   <dict>
       [...]
       <key>FacebookAppID</key>
       <string>[APP_ID]</string>
       <key>FacebookDisplayName</key>
       <string>[APP_NAME]</string>
       [...]
   </dict>
   </plist>

2. Add custom URL schemes to your Xcode project:

   • Open your project configuration: double-click the project name in the left tree view. Select your app from the TARGETS section, then select the Info tab, and expand the URL Types section.
   • Click the + button, and add a URL scheme for the Callback URL of Facebook Kit for iOS. In URL Schemes box on the configuration page use fb[APP_ID]. Leave the other fields blank.

       pod 'Firebase/Auth'
       pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'
       pod 'FBSDKLoginKit'
   end
   

4. Dispatch the designated callback URL to Facebook Kit in your ios/App/App/AppDelegate.swift file.

   Facebook SDK

     import FBSDKCoreKit
   
     ...
   
     func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
       // Called when the app was launched with a url. Feel free to add additional processing here,
       // but if you want the App API to support tracking app url opens, make sure to keep this call
   
       if let scheme = url.scheme, let host = url.host {
           if scheme == "fb\(String(describing: Settings.appID))" && host == "authorize" {
               return ApplicationDelegate.shared.application(app, open: url, options: options)
           }
       }
   
       return CAPBridge.handleOpenUrl(url, options)
     }
   

Don't forget to replace [APP_ID] and [APP_NAME] by your Facebook App ID and App Name respectively.

Apple

Apple global configurations

1. Follow carefully sections: Before you begin, Join the Apple Developer Program and Configure Sign In with Apple of Firebase docs.

2. Enable Apple as a sign-in provider, in the Firebase console, open the Auth section. On the Sign in method tab, enable the Apple provider. If you are only using Sign In with Apple in an iOS app, you can leave the Service ID, Apple Team ID, private key and key ID fields empty.

Apple Android configurations

1. Follow carefully sections: Configure Sign In with Apple

Apple iOs configurations

No additional configurations are required by this plugin.

Don't forget to enable Apple Sign In capability for your App on Xcode.

Usage

Sign in

import {User} from 'firebase/app'
import {cfaSignIn} from 'capacitor-firebase-auth';

cfaSignIn('google.com').subscribe(
	(user: User) => console.log(user.displayName);
)

Sign in mapping User to UserInfo

import { cfaSignIn, mapUserToUserInfo } from 'capacitor-firebase-auth'
import { UserInfo } from 'firebase/app'

cfaSignIn('google.com')
  .pipe(mapUserToUserInfo())
  .subscribe((user: UserInfo) => console.log(user.displayName))

Sign out

import { cfaSignOut } from 'capacitor-firebase-auth'

//[...]

cfaSignOut().subscribe()

Phone Verification

import { cfaSignIn } from 'capacitor-firebase-auth'

cfaSignIn('phone', { phone: [phone] }).subscribe((user) =>
  console.log(user.phoneNumber)
)

On iOS platform the observable will complete without emit (like EMPTY), follow the notifications below to sign on Firebase on Web Layer.

Notification for Phone Verification step

import {
  cfaSignInPhoneOnCodeSent,
  cfaSignInPhoneOnCodeReceived,
} from 'capacitor-firebase-auth'

//[...]

// Android and iOS
cfaSignInPhoneOnCodeSent().subscribe((verificationId) =>
  console.log(verificationId)
)

// Android Only
cfaSignInPhoneOnCodeReceived().subscribe(
  (event: { verificationId: string; verificationCode: string }) =>
    console.log(`${event.verificationId}:${event.verificationCode}`)
)

Suggestion for web authentication code to iOS, the ``verificationCode` must be provided by the user, please see Firebase documentation for better options.

import firebase from 'firebase/app'
import 'firebase/auth'

const credential = firebase.auth.PhoneAuthProvider.credential(
  verificationId,
  verificationCode
)

firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(credential)

Alterantive use of Javascript facade

This implementations of the javascript facade calls, return in addition to the Firebase user the information returned by the plugin from the native layer. For example, in Twitter sign in the token and secret are returned for use with Twitter User API.

Specials thanks for @go-u, by this suggested improvement, more information please see issue #23!

Sign in

import firebase from 'firebase/app'
import { cfaSignIn, SignInResult } from 'capacitor-firebase-auth/alternative'
import { SignInResult } from './definitions'

cfaSignIn('twitter.com').subscribe(
  ({
    userCredential,
    result,
  }: {
    userCredential: firebase.auth.UserCredential
    result: SignInResult
  }) => {
    console.log(userCredential.user.displayName)
    console.log(result) // will print (providerId, idToken and secret)
  }
)

Sign In using direct twitter method

import * as firebase from 'firebase/app'
import {
  cfaSignInTwitter,
  TwitterSignInResult,
} from 'capacitor-firebase-auth/alternative'
import { SignInResult } from './definitions'

cfaSignInTwitter().subscribe(
  ({
    userCredential,
    result,
  }: {
    userCredential: firebase.auth.UserCredential
    result: TwitterSignInResult
  }) => {
    console.log(userCredential.user.displayName)
    console.log(result.idToken)
  }
)

Sign In; Use credentials for something; and map to UserInfo

import { UserInfo } from 'firebase/app'
import {
  cfaSignInTwitter,
  TwitterSignInResult,
  mapUserCredentialToUserInfo,
} from 'capacitor-firebase-auth/alternative'
import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators'

cfaSignInTwitter()
  .pipe(
    tap(({ result }: { result: TwitterSignInResult }) =>
      console.log(result.idToken)
    ),
    mapUserCredentialToUserInfo()
  )
  .subscribe((user: UserInfo) => console.log(user.displayName))

Known limitations

Phone Verification

The user will be signed in only in web layer. This limitation is due to the verification code only works once. So, there is no way to authenticate the user in both layers (native and web) with just one SMS Code.
