Firebase Simple Login is a simple, easy-to-use authentication service built on top of Firebase Custom Login, allowing you to authenticate users without any server code.
Enable authentication via a number of third-party providers, anonymous login, or email / password authentication without having to manually store authentication credentials or run a server.
To install in your application, load from the Firebase CDN, or install with Bower:
$ bower install firebase-simple-loginThe only dependencies are firebase.js, the Firebase web client.
See https://www.firebase.com/docs/security/simple-login-overview.html for complete documentation and API reference.
Firebase Simple Login supports email & password, Facebook, Google, GitHub, Twitter, and anonymous authentication methods. Before adding to your application, you'll need to first enable these auth. providers in your app.
To get started, visit the Simple Login tab in Firebase Forge, at
https://<YOUR-FIREBASE>.firebaseio.com. There you may enable / disable auth.
providers, setup OAuth credentials, and configure valid OAuth request origins.
Note: Persona was removed as an authentication provider in Firebase Simple Login as of version 1.5.0.
Start monitoring user authentication state in your application by instantiating the Firebase Simple Login client with a Firebase reference, and callback.
This function(error, user) callback will be invoked once after instantiation,
and again every time the user's authentication state changes:
var ref = new Firebase('https://<YOUR-FIREBASE>.firebaseio.com');
var auth = new FirebaseSimpleLogin(ref, function(error, user) {
if (error) {
// an error occurred while attempting login
console.log(error);
} else if (user) {
// user authenticated to Firebase reference
console.log('User ID: ' + user.id + ', Provider: ' + user.provider);
} else {
// user is logged out
}
});If the user is logged out, try authenticating using the provider of your choice:
auth.login('<provider>'); // 'password', 'facebook', 'github', 'google', etc.Interested in manually debugging from source, or submitting a pull request? Don't forget to read the Contribution Guidelines in addition to following the steps below.
