Tiny bootstrap to create API RESTs with Firebase.
Initial configuration.
You need to make a .env with the following fields to be able to use this:
FIRESTORE_API_KEY=
FIRESTORE_AUTH_DOMAIN=
FIRESTORE_PROJECT_ID=
FIRESTORE_STORAGE_BUCKET=
FIRESTORE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=
FIRESTORE_APP_ID=In order to obtain this data you need to create a new Firebase app and init it for web dev.
Then you need to create a service user in Settings->Service Accounts->Create.
This will yield a .json file with the credentials, you need to put this file in the root and call it serviceAccountKey.json
Authentication
Only email and password authentication is enabled (you can add other methods if you want), and 3 endpoints are initially provided:
- /auth/login: Email and password are required in the body, it will return a JWT token from Firebase.
- /auth/create: Email and password are required in the body, it will return a JWT token from Firebase.
- /auth/logout: It will read the token from the authentication header and revoke the user session.
Note: you should store the token somewhere and set it as Bearer ${TOKEN} in the authentication header, else other endpoints besides login and create will fail.
