Firebase Custom Auth idToken Retriever

Read https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/custom-auth for context.

This is a plugin for the Insomnia REST client to retrieve idToken from Firebase. Firebase requires first acquiring custom token and uses it to generate idToken.

Usage

Create a login request to your custom authentication service. Set header X-Insomnia-Firebase-Custom-Token-Path to dot-notation path to the Firebase Custom Token in the response. The plugin automatically stores it and uses it to retrieve idToken.

If login response is

{
    "myData": {
        "customToken": "<jwt custom tokem>"
    }
}

Use myData.customToken.
