Authentication Methods

Authentication data is attached to auth, profile is attached to profile if you provide a value to the userProfile config option. You can get them within components like so:

import { connect } from 'react-redux'
connect(
  // Map state to props
  ({ firebase: { auth, profile } }) => ({
    auth,
    profile
  })
)

If you need access to methods that are not available at the top level, you can access Firebase's Full Auth API using props.firebase.auth() or getFirebase().auth().

NOTE

All examples below assume you have passed firebase from context to props. Wrapping your component with with the withFirebase or firebaseConnect Higher Order Components will make props.firebase available within your component:

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { withFirebase } from 'react-redux-firebase'

const SomeComponent = (props) => (
  // use props.firebase
)

export default withFirebase(SomeComponent) // or firebaseConnect()(SomeComponent)

Works same with class components (make sure you import Component from react):

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { firebaseConnect } from 'react-redux-firebase'

class SomeComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    // use this.props.firebase
  }
}

export default firebaseConnect()(SomeComponent) // or withFirebase(SomeComponent)

login(credentials)

Parameters
  • credentials (Object)
    • Object - cases:
      • email and password (runs ref.authWithPassword(credentials)) :
        {
          email: String,
          password: String
        }
        
      • provider (runs ref.authWithOAuthPopup(provider) or ref.authWithOAuthRedirect(provider)) :
        {
          provider: "facebook | google | twitter",
          type: "popup | redirect" // popup is default
        }
        
      • credential (runs ref.signInWithCredential(credential)) :
        {
          credential : firebase.auth.AuthCredential // created using specific provider
        }
        
        The credential parameter is a firebase.auth.AuthCredential specific to the provider (i.e. firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(null, 'some accessToken')). For more details please view the Firebase API reference
      • provider and token (runs ref.authWithOAuthToken(provider, token)) NOTE: Deprecated as of v1.5.0 :
        {
          provider: "facebook | google | twitter",
          token : String
        }
        
      • custom token (runs ref.authWithCustomToken(credentials)). profile is required if automatic profile creation is enabled (which it is by default if you are using userProfile). config.updateProfileOnLogin config option can be set to false in order to prevent this behavior.
        {
          token : String,
          profile: Object // required (optional if updateProfileOnLogin: false config set)
        }
        
Returns

Promise that resolves with the response from firebase's login method (an Object). credential property is also included if using oAuth provider.

NOTE: For email authentication in v1.4.* and earlier - The user's UID (a String) is returned instead of an object. This has been changed in v1.5.0 for consistency across all auth types.

Examples

Email

props.firebase.login({
  email: 'test@test.com',
  password: 'testest1'
})

OAuth Provider Redirect

props.firebase.login({
  provider: 'google',
  type: 'redirect'
})

OAuth Provider Popup

props.firebase.login({
  provider: 'google',
  type: 'popup'
})

Credential

// `googleUser` from the onsuccess Google Sign In callback.
props.firebase.login({
  credential: firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token)
})
// or using an accessToken
props.firebase.login({
  credential: firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(null, 'some access token')
})

Token

props.firebase.login({
  token: 'someJWTAuthToken',
  profile: { email: 'rick@sanchez.com' }
})

After logging in, profile and auth are available in redux state:

import { connect } from 'react-redux'

connect((state) => ({
  auth: state.firebase.auth,
  profile: state.firebase.profile
}))(SomeComponent)

createUser(credentials, profile)

Similar to Firebase's ref.createUser(credentials) but with support for automatic profile setup (based on your userProfile config).

NOTE This does not need to be used when using external authentication providers (Firebase creates the user automatically), and is meant to be used with email authentication only.

Parameters
  • credentials Object

    • credentials.email String - User's email
    • credentials.password String - User's password
    • credentials.signIn String - Whether or not to sign in when user is signing up (defaults to true)
  • profile Object

Examples
const createNewUser = ({ email, password, username }) => {
  firebase.createUser(
    { email, password },
    { username, email }
  )
}

// Call with info
createNewUser({
  email: 'test@test.com',
  password: 'testest1',
  username: 'tester'
})
Returns

Promise with userData

logout()

Logout from Firebase and delete all data from the store (state.firebase.data and state.firebase.auth are set to null).

Looking to preserve data on logout? v2.0.0 supports the preserve config option, which preserves data under the specified keys in state on logout.

Examples
// logout and remove profile and auth from state
props.firebase.logout()

resetPassword(credentials)

Calls Firebase's firebase.auth().resetPassword(). If there is an error, it is added into redux state under state.firebase.authError.

Examples
props.firebase.resetPassword({
  email: 'test@test.com',
  password: 'testest1',
  username: 'tester'
})
Parameters
  • credentials Object - Credentials same as described in firebase docs
  • profile Object - if initialized with userProfile support then profile will be saved into ${userProfile}/${auth.uid}
Returns

Promise with user's UID in case of success or the error otherwise. Always authenticate the new user in case of success

confirmPasswordReset(code, newPassword)

Calls Firebase's firebase.auth().confirmPasswordReset(). If there is an error, it is added into redux state under state.firebase.authError.

Examples
props.firebase.confirmPasswordReset('some reset code', 'myNewPassword')
Parameters
  • code String - Password reset code
  • newPassword String - New password to set for user
Returns

Promise

verifyPasswordResetCode(code)

Verify a password reset code from password reset email.

Calls Firebase's firebase.auth().verifyPasswordResetCode(). If there is an error, it is added into redux state under state.firebase.authError.

Examples
props.firebase.verifyPasswordResetCode('some reset code')
Parameters
  • code String - Password reset code
Returns

Promise - Email associated with reset code

signInWithPhoneNumber(code)

Verify a password reset code from password reset email.

Calls Firebase's firebase.auth().signInWithPhoneNumber(). If there is an error, it is added into redux state under state.firebase.authError.

Examples
props.firebase.signInWithPhoneNumber('some reset code')
Parameters
  • code String - Password reset code
Returns

Promise - Email associated with reset code
