Firebase Auth

Learn how to interact with Firebase

Firebase is a development platform from Google that provides a variety of tools and services to help developers build, improve, and grow their apps, with features such as databases, analytics, messaging, and crash reporting. It emphasizes easy integration and real-time updates, enabling developers to create rich, collaborative experiences.

Prerequisites#

Head to your Project Settings in the Firebase Console and grab your Firebase Project ID.

Set up your provider#

To set up Firebase to authenticate players with Openfort, visit your dashboard provider settings.

Client-side Integration#

import {GoogleAuthProvider, getAuth, signInWithPopup} from "firebase/auth";
import Openfort from "@openfort/openfort-js";
  function loginWithGoogle() {
    const googleProvider = new GoogleAuthProvider();
    signInWithPopup(auth, googleProvider)
      .then(async (result) => {
        const idToken = await result.user.getIdToken();
        const openfort = new Openfort(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENFORT_PUBLIC_KEY!);
        const token = await openfort.authenticateWithThirdPartyProvider("firebase", idToken, TokenType.IdToken);
      })
  }

Uppon successful authentication, the SDK will return:

response.json

{
  "id": "pla_cc9ed2b7-c5f5-4c43-8dca-c4b104ba1762",
  "object": "player",
  "createdAt": 1710976453,
  "linkedAccounts": [
      {
          "provider": "firebase",
          "disabled": false,
          "externalUserId": "2"
      }
  ]
}
