:fire: Express middleware for your Firebase applications

Express Firebase Middleware

Express middleware for your Firebase applications.

Starting new express firebase project? try out Express Firebase starter

Minimum requirements

• Node 6 or later
• npm 3 or later
• Firebase account

How to use

1. Install the packages using npm

   npm install express firebase-admin express-firebase-middleware

   Both express and firebase-admin are peerDependencies.

2. Require it in your express routes

   var firebaseMiddleware = require('express-firebase-middleware');
   
   router.use('/api', firebaseMiddleware.auth);

3. Now make sure the client's requests have Authorization header like

   Authorization: Bearer <your-client-token>
   

   The client can get the token from their client SDK (Web, Android, iOS Firebase SDK)

4. When requesting, and token is valid, you can get the user object from response

   router.get('/api/hello', (req, res) => {
       res.json({
           message: `You're logged in as ${res.locals.user.email} with Firebase UID: ${res.locals.user.uid}`
       });
   });

Debug mode

By default, the middleware will log and output to console, you can disable them by setting your environment variable for APP_DEBUG to false

express-firebase-middleware's Issues

It alwys return "Unauthorized"?

Hello there, first of all thank you so much for this great middleware.

I followed your guide. but i always get Unauthorized, why?

i am using postman to check. i send request with this header 'Authorization': 'Bearer ASDKFJHASDKFJH5

but still got the same error.

I don't understand this

There needs to be some docs, because i'm completely clueless on what to do after to routers.

token ID vs custom token

Hi there Anthony! Love the repo and using it in a personal project at the moment.

Wondered if you had any pointers on this question?

On the 3rd step, where to put the authorization token

The 3rd step is unclear. it would be great if you can elaborate it a bit.

koa firebase middleware

Error: The default Firebase app does not exist. Make sure you call initializeApp() before using any of the Firebase services.

How can I fix this error?
