NestJS Passport Strategy for Firebase Auth using Firebase Admin SDK




  

    

  



# Installation

## Install peer dependencies

```bash

npm install passport passport-jwt

npm install --save-dev @types/passport-jwt

```

## Install `@nestjs/passport` for authentication

```bash

npm install @nestjs/passport

```

## Install strategy

```bash

npm install @tfarras/nestjs-firebase-auth

```

# Important

To work with Firebase Auth you need to configure and initialize your firebase app. For this purpose you can use my [module for firebase-admin](https://github.com/tfarras/nestjs-firebase-admin).

# Create strategy

```typescript

import { Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";

import { PassportStrategy } from "@nestjs/passport";

import { ExtractJwt } from 'passport-jwt';

import { FirebaseAuthStrategy } from '@tfarras/nestjs-firebase-auth';

@Injectable()

export class FirebaseStrategy extends PassportStrategy(FirebaseAuthStrategy, 'firebase') {

  public constructor() {

    super({

      extractor: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),

    });

  }

}

```

Note: You should provide an extractor. More information about passport-jwt extractors you can find here: [http://www.passportjs.org/packages/passport-jwt/#included-extractors](http://www.passportjs.org/packages/passport-jwt/#included-extractors)

# Create `AuthModule` and provide created strategy

```typescript

import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";

import { PassportModule } from "@nestjs/passport";

import { FirebaseStrategy } from "./firebase.strategy";

@Module({

  imports: [PassportModule],

  providers: [FirebaseStrategy],

  exports: [FirebaseStrategy],

  controllers: [],

})

export class AuthModule { }

```

# Import `AuthModule` into `AppModule`

```typescript

import { FirebaseAdminCoreModule } from '@tfarras/nestjs-firebase-admin';

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';

import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from 'nestjs-config';

import { AppController } from './app.controller';

import { AppService } from './app.service';

import { AuthModule } from './auth/auth.module';

import * as path from 'path';

@Module({

  imports: [

    ConfigModule.load(path.resolve(__dirname, 'config', '**', '!(*.d).{ts,js}')),

    FirebaseAdminCoreModule.forRootAsync({

      useFactory: (config: ConfigService) => config.get('firebase'),

      inject: [ConfigService],

    }),

    AuthModule,

  ],

  controllers: [AppController],

  providers: [AppService],

})

export class AppModule { }

```

# Protect your routes

```typescript

import { Controller, Get, Inject, UseGuards } from '@nestjs/common';

import { AuthGuard } from '@nestjs/passport';

import { FirebaseAdminSDK, FIREBASE_ADMIN_INJECT } from '@tfarras/nestjs-firebase-admin';

import { AppService } from './app.service';

@Controller()

export class AppController {

  constructor(

    private readonly appService: AppService,

    @Inject(FIREBASE_ADMIN_INJECT) private readonly fireSDK: FirebaseAdminSDK,

  ) { }

  @Get()

  @UseGuards(AuthGuard('firebase'))

  getHello() {

    return this.fireSDK.auth().listUsers();

  }

}

```

# Custom second validation

In cases when you want to validate also if user exists in your database, or anything else after successfull Firebase validation you can define custom `validate` method in your strategy.

## Example

```typescript

import { Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";

import { PassportStrategy } from "@nestjs/passport";

import { FirebaseAuthStrategy, FirebaseUser } from '@tfarras/nestjs-firebase-auth';

import { ExtractJwt } from 'passport-jwt';

@Injectable()

export class FirebaseStrategy extends PassportStrategy(FirebaseAuthStrategy, 'firebase') {

  public constructor() {

    super({

      extractor: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),

    });

  }

  async validate(payload: FirebaseUser): Promise {

    // Do here whatever you want and return your user

    return payload;

  }

}

```
