I am creating an App Where user can buy coins and for that I have been trying to integrate Razorpay into my Android App since a long time now. Razorpay can directly be used in Android. It sends Success or Failure results for payment and I can act accordingly (adding points to database in this case). But the problem with this approach is that I have to write points (after success) to database from the app. Which means I have to give write access for points node to user app which is not a good idea. So I wanted to use Razorpay with Firebase Cloud Functions and searching for a long time I came across this tutorial which is for web. I am quite new to Cloud Functions and hence wanted a little help for Android.
Here is the Index.js code but For Web
const functions = require("firebase-functions");
var express = require("express");
var cors = require("cors");
var request = require("request");
const crypto = require("crypto");
const key = "----insert yout key here----";
const key_secret = "----- insert key secret here ----";
var app = express();
app.use(cors({ origin: true }));
app.post("/", (req, res) => {
const amount = req.body.amount;
//Allow Api Calls from local server
const allowedOrigins = [
"http://127.0.0.1:8080",
"http://localhost:8080",
"https://-------YourFirebaseApp-----.firebaseapp.com/"
];
const origin = req.headers.origin;
if (allowedOrigins.indexOf(origin) > -1) {
res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", origin);
}
var options = {
method: "POST",
url: "https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders",
headers: {
//There should be space after Basic else you get a BAD REQUEST error
Authorization:
"Basic " + new Buffer(key + ":" + key_secret).toString("base64")
},
form: {
amount: amount,
currency: "INR",
receipt:
"----- create a order in firestore and pass order_unique id here ---",
payment_capture: 1
}
};
request(options, function(error, response, body) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
res.send(body);
});
});
app.post("/confirmPayment", (req, res) => {
const order = req.body;
const text = order.razorpay_order_id + "|" + order.razorpay_payment_id;
var signature = crypto
.createHmac("sha256", key_secret)
.update(text)
.digest("hex");
if (signature === order.razorpay_signature) {
console.log("PAYMENT SUCCESSFULL");
res.send("PAYMENT SUCCESSFULL");
} else {
res.send("something went wrong!");
res.end();
}
});
exports.paymentApi = functions.https.onRequest(app);
I think this will help you.
In my case, I am accessing items(Array of Product IDs) from the user's cart and reading the current price of the items then passing it as an argument to SendOrderId function which will return an OrderId to proceed.
The important thing to keep in mind is that you must have added razorpay in your dependencies inside package.json. You can do that by simply running
npm i razorpay
inside your functions folder (Which include index.js) which will automatically add the dependency to your project
const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const Razorpay = require('razorpay')
const razorpay = new Razorpay({
key_id: 'Your_razorpay_key_id',
key_secret: 'your_secret'
})
admin.initializeApp();
function SendOrderId(amountData, response) {
var options = {
amount: amountData, // amount in the smallest currency unit
currency: "INR",
};
razorpay.orders.create(options, function(err, order) {
console.log(order);
response.send(order);
});
}
exports.getOrderId = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
return admin.firestore().collection('Users').doc(req.query.uid).get().then(queryResult => {
console.log(queryResult.data().Cart);
admin.firestore().collectionGroup("Products").where('ProductId', 'in', queryResult.data().Cart).get().then(result => {
var amount = 0;
result.forEach(element => {
amount += element.data().price;
});
SendOrderId(amount * 100, res);
})
})
});
Bear with me. I've spent a month just PHRASING this question: I've been using Firebase Database and Firebase functions for about a year. I've gotten it to work... but only if I sent the text of the message as a STRING. The problem is that now I wish to receive an OBJECT instead but I'm unsure of how to do this in FireBaseMessage.
My previous structure:
messages
T9Vh5cvUcbqC8IEZowBpJC3
ZWfn7876876ZGJeSNBbCpPmkm1
message
"messages": {
".read": true,
"$receiverUid": {
"$senderUid": {
"$message": {
".read": true,
".write": "auth.uid === $senderUid"
And my function for the listener was this:
exports.sendMessage = functions.database.ref('/messages/{receiverUid}/{senderUid}/{message}')
This is problematic... for a variety of reasons. Namely if the old message was "Hey" and then that same person just writes "Hey" again... then the original gets overwritten.
So my NEW structure is more like this:
messages
-LkVcYqJoEroWpkXZnqr
body: "genius grant"
createdat: 1563915599253
name: "hatemustdie"
receiverUid: "TW8289372984KJjkhdsjkhad"
senderUid: "yBNbs9823789KJkjahsdjkas"
Which is written as:
mDatabase.child("messages").push().setValue(message);
...and I'm just unsure about how to write out that function.
I mean... IDEALLY... it would be something like:
exports.sendMessage = functions.database.ref('/messages/{receiverUid}/{senderUid}/{msgID}/{msgOBJECT}')
...but I'm just not sure how Firebase functions is reading this new structure.
Now I'm pushing to the database like so:
mDatabase.child("messages").child(guid).child(user_Id).push().setValue(msgObject).addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(#NonNull Void T) {
Log.d("MessageActivity", "Message Sent");
Basically I would just like to receive the message object... with everything in it... when it arrives from the notification... and be able to easily parse the body, date, userids, etc.
Can someone explain the correct way to go about this?
UPATE By request here's the complete cloud function:
exports.sendMessage = functions.database.ref('/messages/{receiverUid}/{senderUid}/{msgId}/{message}')
.onWrite(async (change, context) => {
const message = context.params.message;
// const messageId = context.params.messageId;
const receiverUid = context.params.receiverUid;
const senderUid = context.params.senderUid;
// If un-follow we exit the function.
if (!change.after.val()) {
return console.log('Sender ', senderUid, 'receiver ', receiverUid, 'message ', message);
}
console.log('We have a new message: ', message, 'for: ', receiverUid);
// Get the list of device notification tokens.
const getDeviceTokensPromise = admin.database()
.ref(`/users/${receiverUid}/notificationTokens`).once('value');
// Get the follower profile.
const getSenderProfilePromise = admin.auth().getUser(senderUid);
// The snapshot to the user's tokens.
let tokensSnapshot;
// The array containing all the user's tokens.
let tokens;
const results = await Promise.all([getDeviceTokensPromise, getSenderProfilePromise]);
tokensSnapshot = results[0];
const sender = results[1];
// Check if there are any device tokens.
if (!tokensSnapshot.hasChildren()) {
return console.log('There are no notification tokens to send to.');
}
console.log('There are', tokensSnapshot.numChildren(), 'tokens to send notifications to.');
console.log('Fetched sender profile', sender);
// console.log('David you're looking for the following UID:', followerUid);
// Notification details.
const payload = {
notification: {
title: `${sender.displayName} sent you a message.`,
body: message,
tag: senderUid
},
// 'data': { 'fuid': followerUid }
data: {
type: 'message',
name: sender.displayName
}
};
console.log('David you are looking for the following message:', message);
// Listing all tokens as an array.
tokens = Object.keys(tokensSnapshot.val());
// Send notifications to all tokens.
const response = await admin.messaging().sendToDevice(tokens, payload);
// For each message check if there was an error.
const tokensToRemove = [];
response.results.forEach((result, index) => {
const error = result.error;
if (error) {
console.error('Failure sending notification to', tokens[index], error);
// Cleanup the tokens who are not registered anymore.
if (error.code === 'messaging/invalid-registration-token' ||
error.code === 'messaging/registration-token-not-registered') {
tokensToRemove.push(tokensSnapshot.ref.child(tokens[index]).remove());
}
}
});
return Promise.all(tokensToRemove);
});
Since you now store the sender and receiver's UIDs inside the message, the declaration of your Cloud Function will need to change.
Instead of this:
exports.sendMessage = functions.database.ref('/messages/{receiverUid}/{senderUid}/{msgId}/{message}').onWrite(async (change, context) => {
You'll need to trigger on:
exports.sendMessage = functions.database.ref('/messages/{messageId}').onWrite(async (change, context) => {
So with this change your code will trigger on each message that is written /messages.
Now you "just" need to get the sender and receiver's UID. And since you no longer can get them from the context, you will instead get them from the change. Specifically change.after contains the data snapshot as it exists in the database after the write has completed. So (as long as you're not deleting the data), you can get the UIDs with:
const receiverUid = change.after.val().receiverUid;
const senderUid = change.after.val().senderUid;
And you'll also get the actual message from there of course:
const message = change.after.val().message;
And just in case you need the message ID (the -L... key that it was written under in the database):
const messageId = change.after.val().messageId;
You need a trigger on just the messageId:
exports.sendMessage = functions.database.ref('/messages/{messageId}').onWrite((change, context) => {
const changedData = change.after.val(); // This will have the complete changed data
const message = change.after.val().message; // This will contain the message value
......
});
Elaborating on Frank's answer:
You can't get the data from context like const message = context.params.message;because those parameters don't exists anymore on the context.
So I have this issue where every time I add a new user account, it kicks out the current user that is already signed in. I read the firebase api and it said that "If the new account was created, the user is signed in automatically" But they never said anything else about avoiding that.
//ADD EMPLOYEES
addEmployees: function(formData){
firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(formData.email, formData.password).then(function(data){
console.log(data);
});
},
I'm the admin and I'm adding accounts into my site. I would like it if I can add an account without being signed out and signed into the new account. Any way i can avoid this?
Update 20161110 - original answer below
Also, check out this answer for a different approach.
Original answer
This is actually possible.
But not directly, the way to do it is to create a second auth reference and use that to create users:
var config = {apiKey: "apiKey",
authDomain: "projectId.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com"};
var secondaryApp = firebase.initializeApp(config, "Secondary");
secondaryApp.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(em, pwd).then(function(firebaseUser) {
console.log("User " + firebaseUser.uid + " created successfully!");
//I don't know if the next statement is necessary
secondaryApp.auth().signOut();
});
If you don't specify which firebase connection you use for an operation it will use the first one by default.
Source for multiple app references.
EDIT
For the actual creation of a new user, it doesn't matter that there is nobody or someone else than the admin, authenticated on the second auth reference because for creating an account all you need is the auth reference itself.
The following hasn't been tested but it is something to think about
The thing you do have to think about is writing data to firebase. Common practice is that users can edit/update their own user info so when you use the second auth reference for writing this should work. But if you have something like roles or permissions for that user make sure you write that with the auth reference that has the right permissions. In this case, the main auth is the admin and the second auth is the newly created user.
Update 20161108 - original answer below
Firebase just released its firebase-admin SDK, which allows server-side code for this and other common administrative use-cases. Read the installation instructions and then dive into the documentation on creating users.
original answer
This is currently not possible. Creating an Email+Password user automatically signs that new user in.
I just created a Firebase Function that triggers when a Firestore document is Created (with rules write-only to admin user). Then use admin.auth().createUser() to create the new user properly.
export const createUser = functions.firestore
.document('newUsers/{userId}')
.onCreate(async (snap, context) => {
const userId = context.params.userId;
const newUser = await admin.auth().createUser({
disabled: false,
displayName: snap.get('displayName'),
email: snap.get('email'),
password: snap.get('password'),
phoneNumber: snap.get('phoneNumber')
});
// You can also store the new user in another collection with extra fields
await admin.firestore().collection('users').doc(newUser.uid).set({
uid: newUser.uid,
email: newUser.email,
name: newUser.displayName,
phoneNumber: newUser.phoneNumber,
otherfield: snap.get('otherfield'),
anotherfield: snap.get('anotherfield')
});
// Delete the temp document
return admin.firestore().collection('newUsers').doc(userId).delete();
});
You can Algo use functions.https.onCall()
exports.createUser= functions.https.onCall((data, context) => {
const uid = context.auth.uid; // Authorize as you want
// ... do the same logic as above
});
calling it.
const createUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('createUser');
createUser({userData: data}).then(result => {
// success or error handling
});
Swift 5: Simple Solution
First store the current user in a variable called originalUser
let originalUser = Auth.auth().currentUser
Then, in the completion handler of creating a new user, use the updateCurrentUser method to restore the original user
Auth.auth().updateCurrentUser(originalUser, completion: nil)
Here is a simple solution using web SDKs.
Create a cloud function (https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions)
import admin from 'firebase-admin';
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';
const createUser = functions.https.onCall((data) => {
return admin.auth().createUser(data)
.catch((error) => {
throw new functions.https.HttpsError('internal', error.message)
});
});
export default createUser;
Call this function from your app
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
const createUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('createUser');
createUser({ email, password })
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
Optionally, you can set user document information using the returned uid.
createUser({ email, password })
.then(({ data: user }) => {
return database
.collection('users')
.doc(user.uid)
.set({
firstname,
lastname,
created: new Date(),
});
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
I got André's very clever workaround working in Objective-C using the Firebase iOS SDK:
NSString *plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"GoogleService-Info" ofType:#"plist"];
FIROptions *secondaryAppOptions = [[FIROptions alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
[FIRApp configureWithName:#"Secondary" options:secondaryAppOptions];
FIRApp *secondaryApp = [FIRApp appNamed:#"Secondary"];
FIRAuth *secondaryAppAuth = [FIRAuth authWithApp:secondaryApp];
[secondaryAppAuth createUserWithEmail:user.email
password:user.password
completion:^(FIRUser * _Nullable user, NSError * _Nullable error) {
[secondaryAppAuth signOut:nil];
}];
Update for Swift 4
I have tried a few different options to create multiple users from a single account, but this is by far the best and easiest solution.
Original answer by Nico
First Configure firebase in your AppDelegate.swift file
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
FirebaseApp.configure()
FirebaseApp.configure(name: "CreatingUsersApp", options: FirebaseApp.app()!.options)
return true
}
Add the following code to action where you are creating the accounts.
if let secondaryApp = FirebaseApp.app(name: "CreatingUsersApp") {
let secondaryAppAuth = Auth.auth(app: secondaryApp)
// Create user in secondary app.
secondaryAppAuth.createUser(withEmail: email, password: password) { (user, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
} else {
//Print created users email.
print(user!.email!)
//Print current logged in users email.
print(Auth.auth().currentUser?.email ?? "default")
try! secondaryAppAuth.signOut()
}
}
}
}
You can use firebase function for add users.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
const cors = require('cors')({
origin: true,
});
exports.AddUser = functions.https.onRequest(( req, res ) => {
// Grab the text parameter.
cors( req, res, () => {
let email = req.body.email;
let passwd = req.body.passwd;
let role = req.body.role;
const token = req.get('Authorization').split('Bearer ')[1];
admin.auth().verifyIdToken(token)
.then(
(decoded) => {
// return res.status(200).send( decoded )
return creatUser(decoded);
})
.catch((err) => {
return res.status(401).send(err)
});
function creatUser(user){
admin.auth().createUser({
email: email,
emailVerified: false,
password: passwd,
disabled: false
})
.then((result) => {
console.log('result',result);
return res.status(200).send(result);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error.message);
return res.status(400).send(error.message);
})
}
});
});
CreateUser(){
//console.log('Create User')
this.submitted = true;
if (this.myGroup.invalid) {
return;
}
let Email = this.myGroup.value.Email;
let Passwd = this.myGroup.value.Passwd;
let Role = 'myrole';
let TechNum = this.myGroup.value.TechNum;
let user = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user'));
let role = user.role;
let AdminUid = user.uid;
let authToken = user.stsTokenManager.accessToken;
let httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders().set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + authToken);
let options = { headers: httpHeaders };
let params = { email:Email,passwd:Passwd,role:Role };
this.httpClient.post('https://us-central1-myproject.cloudfunctions.net/AddUser', params, options)
.subscribe( val => {
//console.log('Response from cloud function', val );
let createdUser:any = val;
//console.log(createdUser.uid);
const userRef: AngularFirestoreDocument<any> = this.afs.doc(`users/${createdUser.uid}`);
const userUpdate = {
uid: createdUser.uid,
email: createdUser.email,
displayName: null,
photoURL: null,
emailVerified: createdUser.emailVerified,
role: Role,
TechNum:TechNum,
AccountAccess:this.AccountAccess,
UserStatus:'open',
OwnerUid:AdminUid,
OwnerUidRole:role,
RootAccountAccess:this.RootAccountAccess
}
userRef.set(userUpdate, {
merge: false
});
this.toastr.success('Success, user add','Success');
this.myGroup.reset();
this.submitted = false;
},
err => {
console.log('HTTP Error', err.error)
this.toastr.error(err.error,'Error')
},
() => console.log('HTTP request completed.')
);
}
On the web, this is due to unexpected behavior when you call createUserWithEmailAndPassword out of the registration context; e.g. inviting a new user to your app by creating a new user account.
Seems like, createUserWithEmailAndPassword method triggers a new refresh token and user cookies are updated too. (This side-effect is not documented)
Here is a workaround for Web SDK:
After creating the new user;
firebase.auth().updateCurrentUser (loggedInUser.current)
provided that you initiate loggedInUser with the original user beforehand.
Hey i had similar problem ,trying to create users through admin , as it is not possible to signUp user without signIn ,I created a work around ,adding it below with steps
Instead of signup create a node in firebase realtime db with email as key (firebase do not allow email as key so I have created a function to generate key from email and vice versa, I will attach the functions below)
Save a initial password field while saving user (can even hash it with bcrypt or something, if you prefer though it will be used one time only)
Now Once user try to login check if any node with that email (generate key from email) exist in the db and if so then match the password provided.
If the password matched delete the node and do authSignUpWithEmailandPassword with provided credentials.
User is registered successfully
//Sign In
firebaseDB.child("users").once("value", (snapshot) => {
const users = snapshot.val();
const userKey = emailToKey(data.email);
if (Object.keys(users).find((key) => key === userKey)) {
setError("user already exist");
setTimeout(() => {
setError(false);
}, 2000);
setLoading(false);
} else {
firebaseDB
.child(`users`)
.child(userKey)
.set({ email: data.email, initPassword: data.password })
.then(() => setLoading(false))
.catch(() => {
setLoading(false);
setError("Error in creating user please try again");
setTimeout(() => {
setError(false);
}, 2000);
});
}
});
//Sign Up
signUp = (data, setLoading, setError) => {
auth
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(data.email, data.password)
.then((res) => {
const userDetails = {
email: res.user.email,
id: res.user.uid,
};
const key = emailToKey(data.email);
app
.database()
.ref(`users/${key}`)
.remove()
.then(() => {
firebaseDB.child("users").child(res.user.uid).set(userDetails);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(() => {
setLoading(false);
setError("error while registering try again");
setTimeout(() => setError(false), 4000);
});
})
.catch((err) => {
setLoading(false);
setError(err.message);
setTimeout(() => setError(false), 4000);
});
};
//Function to create a valid firebase key from email and vice versa
const emailToKey = (email) => {
//firebase do not allow ".", "#", "$", "[", or "]"
let key = email;
key = key.replace(".", ",0,");
key = key.replace("#", ",1,");
key = key.replace("$", ",2,");
key = key.replace("[", ",3,");
key = key.replace("]", ",4,");
return key;
};
const keyToEmail = (key) => {
let email = key;
email = email.replace(",0,", ".");
email = email.replace(",1,", "#");
email = email.replace(",2,", "$");
email = email.replace(",3,", "[");
email = email.replace(",4,", "]");
return email;
};
If you want to do it in your front end create a second auth reference use it to create other users and sign out and delete that reference. If you do it this way you won't be signed out when creating a new user and you won't get the error that the default firebase app already exists.
const createOtherUser =()=>{
var config = {
//your firebase config
};
let secondaryApp = firebase.initializeApp(config, "secondary");
secondaryApp.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).then((userCredential) => {
console.log(userCredential.user.uid);
}).then(secondaryApp.auth().signOut()
)
.then(secondaryApp.delete()
)
}
Update 19.05.2022 - using #angular/fire (latest available = v.7.3.0)
If you are not using firebase directly in your app, but use e.g. #angular/fire for auth purposes only, you can use the same approach as suggested earlier as follows with the #angular/fire library:
import { Auth, getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword } from '#angular/fire/auth';
import { deleteApp, initializeApp } from '#angular/fire/app';
import { firebaseConfiguration } from '../config/app.config'; // <-- Your project's configuration here.
const tempApp = initializeApp(firebaseConfiguration, "tempApp");
const tempAppAuth = getAuth(tempApp);
await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(tempAppAuth, email, password)
.then(async (newUser) => {
resolve( () ==> {
// Do something, e.g. add user info to database
});
})
.catch(error => reject(error))
.finally( () => {
tempAppAuth.signOut()
.then( () => deleteApp(tempApp));
});
The Swift version:
FIRApp.configure()
// Creating a second app to create user without logging in
FIRApp.configure(withName: "CreatingUsersApp", options: FIRApp.defaultApp()!.options)
if let secondaryApp = FIRApp(named: "CreatingUsersApp") {
let secondaryAppAuth = FIRAuth(app: secondaryApp)
secondaryAppAuth?.createUser(...)
}
Here is a Swift 3 adaptaion of Jcabrera's answer :
let bundle = Bundle.main
let path = bundle.path(forResource: "GoogleService-Info", ofType: "plist")!
let options = FIROptions.init(contentsOfFile: path)
FIRApp.configure(withName: "Secondary", options: options!)
let secondary_app = FIRApp.init(named: "Secondary")
let second_auth = FIRAuth(app : secondary_app!)
second_auth?.createUser(withEmail: self.username.text!, password: self.password.text!)
{
(user,error) in
print(user!.email!)
print(FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.email ?? "default")
}
If you are using Polymer and Firebase (polymerfire) see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46698801/1821603
Essentially you create a secondary <firebase-app> to handle the new user registration without affecting the current user.
Android solution (Kotlin):
1.You need FirebaseOptions BUILDER(!) for setting api key, db url, etc., and don't forget to call build() at the end
2.Make a secondary auth variable by calling FirebaseApp.initializeApp()
3.Get instance of FirebaseAuth by passing your newly created secondary auth, and do whatever you want (e.g. createUser)
// 1. you can find these in your project settings under general tab
val firebaseOptionsBuilder = FirebaseOptions.Builder()
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setDatabaseUrl("YOUR_DATABASE_URL")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setProjectId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setApplicationId("YOUR_APPLICATION_ID") //not sure if this one is needed
val firebaseOptions = firebaseOptionsBuilder.build()
// indeterminate progress dialog *ANKO*
val progressDialog = indeterminateProgressDialog(resources.getString(R.string.progressDialog_message_registering))
progressDialog.show()
// 2. second auth created by passing the context, firebase options and a string for secondary db name
val newAuth = FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this#ListActivity, firebaseOptions, Constants.secondary_db_auth)
// 3. calling the create method on our newly created auth, passed in getInstance
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(newAuth).createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email!!, password!!)
.addOnCompleteListener { it ->
if (it.isSuccessful) {
// 'it' is a Task<AuthResult>, so we can get our newly created user from result
val newUser = it.result.user
// store wanted values on your user model, e.g. email, name, phonenumber, etc.
val user = User()
user.email = email
user.name = name
user.created = Date().time
user.active = true
user.phone = phone
// set user model on /db_root/users/uid_of_created_user/, or wherever you want depending on your structure
FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference.child(Constants.db_users).child(newUser.uid).setValue(user)
// send newly created user email verification link
newUser.sendEmailVerification()
progressDialog.dismiss()
// sign him out
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(newAuth).signOut()
// DELETE SECONDARY AUTH! thanks, Jimmy :D
newAuth.delete()
} else {
progressDialog.dismiss()
try {
throw it.exception!!
// catch exception for already existing user (e-mail)
} catch (e: FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) {
alert(resources.getString(R.string.exception_FirebaseAuthUserCollision), resources.getString(R.string.alertDialog_title_error)) {
okButton {
isCancelable = false
}
}.show()
}
}
}
For Android, i suggest a simpler way to do it, without having to provide api key, application id...etc by hand by just using the FirebaseOptions of the default instance.
val firebaseDefaultApp = Firebase.auth.app
val signUpAppName = firebaseDefaultApp.name + "_signUp"
val signUpApp = try {
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(
context,
firebaseDefaultApp.options,
signUpAppName
)
} catch (e: IllegalStateException) {
// IllegalStateException is throw if an app with the same name has already been initialized.
FirebaseApp.getInstance(signUpAppName)
}
// Here is the instance you can use to sign up without triggering auth state on the default Firebase.auth
val signUpFirebaseAuth = Firebase.auth(signUpApp)
How to use ?
signUpFirebaseAuth
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
.addOnSuccessListener {
// Optional, you can send verification email here if you need
// As soon as the sign up with sign in is over, we can sign out the current user
firebaseAuthSignUp.signOut()
}
.addOnFailureListener {
// Log
}
My solution to this question is to store the User Name/Email and password in a static class and then add a new user log out the new user and immediately log in as the admin user(id pass you saved). Works like a charm for me :D
This is a version for Kotlin:
fun createUser(mail: String, password: String) {
val opts = FirebaseOptions.fromResource(requireContext())
if (opts == null) return
val app = Firebase.initialize(requireContext(), opts, "Secondary")
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(app)
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(mail, password)
.addOnSuccessListener {
app.delete()
doWhateverWithAccount(it)
}.addOnFailureListener {
app.delete()
showException(it)
}
}
It uses the configuration from your default Firebase application instance, just under a different name.
It also deletes the newly created instance afterwards, so you can call this multiple times without any exception about already existing Secondary application.
I am trying to make a cloud function that sends a push notification to a given user.
The user makes some changes and the data is added/updated under a node in firebase database (The node represents an user id). Here i want to trigger a function that sends a push notification to the user.
I have the following structure for the users in DB.
Users
- UID
- - email
- - token
- UID
- - email
- - token
Until now i have this function:
exports.sendNewTripNotification = functions.database.ref('/{uid}/shared_trips/').onWrite(event=>{
const uuid = event.params.uid;
console.log('User to send notification', uuid);
var ref = admin.database().ref('Users/{uuid}');
ref.on("value", function(snapshot){
console.log("Val = " + snapshot.val());
},
function (errorObject) {
console.log("The read failed: " + errorObject.code);
});
When i get the callback, the snapshot.val() returns null. Any idea how to solve this? And maybe how to send the push notification afterwards?
I managed to make this work. Here is the code that sends a notification using Cloud Functions that worked for me.
exports.sendNewTripNotification = functions.database.ref('/{uid}/shared_trips/').onWrite(event=>{
const uuid = event.params.uid;
console.log('User to send notification', uuid);
var ref = admin.database().ref(`Users/${uuid}/token`);
return ref.once("value", function(snapshot){
const payload = {
notification: {
title: 'You have been invited to a trip.',
body: 'Tap here to check it out!'
}
};
admin.messaging().sendToDevice(snapshot.val(), payload)
}, function (errorObject) {
console.log("The read failed: " + errorObject.code);
});
})
Just answering the question from Jerin A Mathews...
Send message using Topics:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
//Now we're going to create a function that listens to when a 'Notifications' node changes and send a notificcation
//to all devices subscribed to a topic
exports.sendNotification = functions.database.ref("Notifications/{uid}")
.onWrite(event => {
//This will be the notification model that we push to firebase
var request = event.data.val();
var payload = {
data:{
username: request.username,
imageUrl: request.imageUrl,
email: request.email,
uid: request.uid,
text: request.text
}
};
//The topic variable can be anything from a username, to a uid
//I find this approach much better than using the refresh token
//as you can subscribe to someone's phone number, username, or some other unique identifier
//to communicate between
//Now let's move onto the code, but before that, let's push this to firebase
admin.messaging().sendToTopic(request.topic, payload)
.then((response) => {
console.log("Successfully sent message: ", response);
return true;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log("Error sending message: ", error);
return false;
})
})
//And this is it for building notifications to multiple devices from or to one.
Return this function call.
return ref.on("value", function(snapshot){
console.log("Val = " + snapshot.val());
},
function (errorObject) {
console.log("The read failed: " + errorObject.code);
});
This will keep the cloud function alive until the request is complete. Learn more about returning promises form the link give by Doug in the comment.
Send Notification for a Topic In Cloud function
Topics a basically groups you can send notification for the selected group
var topic = 'NOTIFICATION_TOPIC';
const payload = {
notification: {
title: 'Send through Topic',
body: 'Tap here to check it out!'
}
};
admin.messaging().sendToTopic(topic,payload);
You can register the device for any new or existing topic from mobile side
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
exports.sendNotificationToTopic =
functions.firestore.document('Users/{uuid}').onWrite(async (event) => {
//let title = event.after.get('item_name');
//let content = event.after.get('cust_name');
var message = {
notification: {
title: "TGC - New Order Recieved",
body: "A New Order Recieved on TGC App",
},
topic: 'orders_comming',
};
let response = await admin.messaging().send(message);
console.log(response);
});
For sending notifications to a topic, The above code works well for me, if you have any doubt, let me know.
So I have this issue where every time I add a new user account, it kicks out the current user that is already signed in. I read the firebase api and it said that "If the new account was created, the user is signed in automatically" But they never said anything else about avoiding that.
//ADD EMPLOYEES
addEmployees: function(formData){
firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(formData.email, formData.password).then(function(data){
console.log(data);
});
},
I'm the admin and I'm adding accounts into my site. I would like it if I can add an account without being signed out and signed into the new account. Any way i can avoid this?
Update 20161110 - original answer below
Also, check out this answer for a different approach.
Original answer
This is actually possible.
But not directly, the way to do it is to create a second auth reference and use that to create users:
var config = {apiKey: "apiKey",
authDomain: "projectId.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com"};
var secondaryApp = firebase.initializeApp(config, "Secondary");
secondaryApp.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(em, pwd).then(function(firebaseUser) {
console.log("User " + firebaseUser.uid + " created successfully!");
//I don't know if the next statement is necessary
secondaryApp.auth().signOut();
});
If you don't specify which firebase connection you use for an operation it will use the first one by default.
Source for multiple app references.
EDIT
For the actual creation of a new user, it doesn't matter that there is nobody or someone else than the admin, authenticated on the second auth reference because for creating an account all you need is the auth reference itself.
The following hasn't been tested but it is something to think about
The thing you do have to think about is writing data to firebase. Common practice is that users can edit/update their own user info so when you use the second auth reference for writing this should work. But if you have something like roles or permissions for that user make sure you write that with the auth reference that has the right permissions. In this case, the main auth is the admin and the second auth is the newly created user.
Update 20161108 - original answer below
Firebase just released its firebase-admin SDK, which allows server-side code for this and other common administrative use-cases. Read the installation instructions and then dive into the documentation on creating users.
original answer
This is currently not possible. Creating an Email+Password user automatically signs that new user in.
I just created a Firebase Function that triggers when a Firestore document is Created (with rules write-only to admin user). Then use admin.auth().createUser() to create the new user properly.
export const createUser = functions.firestore
.document('newUsers/{userId}')
.onCreate(async (snap, context) => {
const userId = context.params.userId;
const newUser = await admin.auth().createUser({
disabled: false,
displayName: snap.get('displayName'),
email: snap.get('email'),
password: snap.get('password'),
phoneNumber: snap.get('phoneNumber')
});
// You can also store the new user in another collection with extra fields
await admin.firestore().collection('users').doc(newUser.uid).set({
uid: newUser.uid,
email: newUser.email,
name: newUser.displayName,
phoneNumber: newUser.phoneNumber,
otherfield: snap.get('otherfield'),
anotherfield: snap.get('anotherfield')
});
// Delete the temp document
return admin.firestore().collection('newUsers').doc(userId).delete();
});
You can Algo use functions.https.onCall()
exports.createUser= functions.https.onCall((data, context) => {
const uid = context.auth.uid; // Authorize as you want
// ... do the same logic as above
});
calling it.
const createUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('createUser');
createUser({userData: data}).then(result => {
// success or error handling
});
Swift 5: Simple Solution
First store the current user in a variable called originalUser
let originalUser = Auth.auth().currentUser
Then, in the completion handler of creating a new user, use the updateCurrentUser method to restore the original user
Auth.auth().updateCurrentUser(originalUser, completion: nil)
Here is a simple solution using web SDKs.
Create a cloud function (https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions)
import admin from 'firebase-admin';
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions';
const createUser = functions.https.onCall((data) => {
return admin.auth().createUser(data)
.catch((error) => {
throw new functions.https.HttpsError('internal', error.message)
});
});
export default createUser;
Call this function from your app
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
const createUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable('createUser');
createUser({ email, password })
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
Optionally, you can set user document information using the returned uid.
createUser({ email, password })
.then(({ data: user }) => {
return database
.collection('users')
.doc(user.uid)
.set({
firstname,
lastname,
created: new Date(),
});
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
I got André's very clever workaround working in Objective-C using the Firebase iOS SDK:
NSString *plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"GoogleService-Info" ofType:#"plist"];
FIROptions *secondaryAppOptions = [[FIROptions alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
[FIRApp configureWithName:#"Secondary" options:secondaryAppOptions];
FIRApp *secondaryApp = [FIRApp appNamed:#"Secondary"];
FIRAuth *secondaryAppAuth = [FIRAuth authWithApp:secondaryApp];
[secondaryAppAuth createUserWithEmail:user.email
password:user.password
completion:^(FIRUser * _Nullable user, NSError * _Nullable error) {
[secondaryAppAuth signOut:nil];
}];
Update for Swift 4
I have tried a few different options to create multiple users from a single account, but this is by far the best and easiest solution.
Original answer by Nico
First Configure firebase in your AppDelegate.swift file
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
FirebaseApp.configure()
FirebaseApp.configure(name: "CreatingUsersApp", options: FirebaseApp.app()!.options)
return true
}
Add the following code to action where you are creating the accounts.
if let secondaryApp = FirebaseApp.app(name: "CreatingUsersApp") {
let secondaryAppAuth = Auth.auth(app: secondaryApp)
// Create user in secondary app.
secondaryAppAuth.createUser(withEmail: email, password: password) { (user, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
} else {
//Print created users email.
print(user!.email!)
//Print current logged in users email.
print(Auth.auth().currentUser?.email ?? "default")
try! secondaryAppAuth.signOut()
}
}
}
}
You can use firebase function for add users.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
const cors = require('cors')({
origin: true,
});
exports.AddUser = functions.https.onRequest(( req, res ) => {
// Grab the text parameter.
cors( req, res, () => {
let email = req.body.email;
let passwd = req.body.passwd;
let role = req.body.role;
const token = req.get('Authorization').split('Bearer ')[1];
admin.auth().verifyIdToken(token)
.then(
(decoded) => {
// return res.status(200).send( decoded )
return creatUser(decoded);
})
.catch((err) => {
return res.status(401).send(err)
});
function creatUser(user){
admin.auth().createUser({
email: email,
emailVerified: false,
password: passwd,
disabled: false
})
.then((result) => {
console.log('result',result);
return res.status(200).send(result);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error.message);
return res.status(400).send(error.message);
})
}
});
});
CreateUser(){
//console.log('Create User')
this.submitted = true;
if (this.myGroup.invalid) {
return;
}
let Email = this.myGroup.value.Email;
let Passwd = this.myGroup.value.Passwd;
let Role = 'myrole';
let TechNum = this.myGroup.value.TechNum;
let user = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user'));
let role = user.role;
let AdminUid = user.uid;
let authToken = user.stsTokenManager.accessToken;
let httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders().set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + authToken);
let options = { headers: httpHeaders };
let params = { email:Email,passwd:Passwd,role:Role };
this.httpClient.post('https://us-central1-myproject.cloudfunctions.net/AddUser', params, options)
.subscribe( val => {
//console.log('Response from cloud function', val );
let createdUser:any = val;
//console.log(createdUser.uid);
const userRef: AngularFirestoreDocument<any> = this.afs.doc(`users/${createdUser.uid}`);
const userUpdate = {
uid: createdUser.uid,
email: createdUser.email,
displayName: null,
photoURL: null,
emailVerified: createdUser.emailVerified,
role: Role,
TechNum:TechNum,
AccountAccess:this.AccountAccess,
UserStatus:'open',
OwnerUid:AdminUid,
OwnerUidRole:role,
RootAccountAccess:this.RootAccountAccess
}
userRef.set(userUpdate, {
merge: false
});
this.toastr.success('Success, user add','Success');
this.myGroup.reset();
this.submitted = false;
},
err => {
console.log('HTTP Error', err.error)
this.toastr.error(err.error,'Error')
},
() => console.log('HTTP request completed.')
);
}
On the web, this is due to unexpected behavior when you call createUserWithEmailAndPassword out of the registration context; e.g. inviting a new user to your app by creating a new user account.
Seems like, createUserWithEmailAndPassword method triggers a new refresh token and user cookies are updated too. (This side-effect is not documented)
Here is a workaround for Web SDK:
After creating the new user;
firebase.auth().updateCurrentUser (loggedInUser.current)
provided that you initiate loggedInUser with the original user beforehand.
Hey i had similar problem ,trying to create users through admin , as it is not possible to signUp user without signIn ,I created a work around ,adding it below with steps
Instead of signup create a node in firebase realtime db with email as key (firebase do not allow email as key so I have created a function to generate key from email and vice versa, I will attach the functions below)
Save a initial password field while saving user (can even hash it with bcrypt or something, if you prefer though it will be used one time only)
Now Once user try to login check if any node with that email (generate key from email) exist in the db and if so then match the password provided.
If the password matched delete the node and do authSignUpWithEmailandPassword with provided credentials.
User is registered successfully
//Sign In
firebaseDB.child("users").once("value", (snapshot) => {
const users = snapshot.val();
const userKey = emailToKey(data.email);
if (Object.keys(users).find((key) => key === userKey)) {
setError("user already exist");
setTimeout(() => {
setError(false);
}, 2000);
setLoading(false);
} else {
firebaseDB
.child(`users`)
.child(userKey)
.set({ email: data.email, initPassword: data.password })
.then(() => setLoading(false))
.catch(() => {
setLoading(false);
setError("Error in creating user please try again");
setTimeout(() => {
setError(false);
}, 2000);
});
}
});
//Sign Up
signUp = (data, setLoading, setError) => {
auth
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(data.email, data.password)
.then((res) => {
const userDetails = {
email: res.user.email,
id: res.user.uid,
};
const key = emailToKey(data.email);
app
.database()
.ref(`users/${key}`)
.remove()
.then(() => {
firebaseDB.child("users").child(res.user.uid).set(userDetails);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(() => {
setLoading(false);
setError("error while registering try again");
setTimeout(() => setError(false), 4000);
});
})
.catch((err) => {
setLoading(false);
setError(err.message);
setTimeout(() => setError(false), 4000);
});
};
//Function to create a valid firebase key from email and vice versa
const emailToKey = (email) => {
//firebase do not allow ".", "#", "$", "[", or "]"
let key = email;
key = key.replace(".", ",0,");
key = key.replace("#", ",1,");
key = key.replace("$", ",2,");
key = key.replace("[", ",3,");
key = key.replace("]", ",4,");
return key;
};
const keyToEmail = (key) => {
let email = key;
email = email.replace(",0,", ".");
email = email.replace(",1,", "#");
email = email.replace(",2,", "$");
email = email.replace(",3,", "[");
email = email.replace(",4,", "]");
return email;
};
If you want to do it in your front end create a second auth reference use it to create other users and sign out and delete that reference. If you do it this way you won't be signed out when creating a new user and you won't get the error that the default firebase app already exists.
const createOtherUser =()=>{
var config = {
//your firebase config
};
let secondaryApp = firebase.initializeApp(config, "secondary");
secondaryApp.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).then((userCredential) => {
console.log(userCredential.user.uid);
}).then(secondaryApp.auth().signOut()
)
.then(secondaryApp.delete()
)
}
Update 19.05.2022 - using #angular/fire (latest available = v.7.3.0)
If you are not using firebase directly in your app, but use e.g. #angular/fire for auth purposes only, you can use the same approach as suggested earlier as follows with the #angular/fire library:
import { Auth, getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword } from '#angular/fire/auth';
import { deleteApp, initializeApp } from '#angular/fire/app';
import { firebaseConfiguration } from '../config/app.config'; // <-- Your project's configuration here.
const tempApp = initializeApp(firebaseConfiguration, "tempApp");
const tempAppAuth = getAuth(tempApp);
await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(tempAppAuth, email, password)
.then(async (newUser) => {
resolve( () ==> {
// Do something, e.g. add user info to database
});
})
.catch(error => reject(error))
.finally( () => {
tempAppAuth.signOut()
.then( () => deleteApp(tempApp));
});
The Swift version:
FIRApp.configure()
// Creating a second app to create user without logging in
FIRApp.configure(withName: "CreatingUsersApp", options: FIRApp.defaultApp()!.options)
if let secondaryApp = FIRApp(named: "CreatingUsersApp") {
let secondaryAppAuth = FIRAuth(app: secondaryApp)
secondaryAppAuth?.createUser(...)
}
Here is a Swift 3 adaptaion of Jcabrera's answer :
let bundle = Bundle.main
let path = bundle.path(forResource: "GoogleService-Info", ofType: "plist")!
let options = FIROptions.init(contentsOfFile: path)
FIRApp.configure(withName: "Secondary", options: options!)
let secondary_app = FIRApp.init(named: "Secondary")
let second_auth = FIRAuth(app : secondary_app!)
second_auth?.createUser(withEmail: self.username.text!, password: self.password.text!)
{
(user,error) in
print(user!.email!)
print(FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser?.email ?? "default")
}
If you are using Polymer and Firebase (polymerfire) see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46698801/1821603
Essentially you create a secondary <firebase-app> to handle the new user registration without affecting the current user.
Android solution (Kotlin):
1.You need FirebaseOptions BUILDER(!) for setting api key, db url, etc., and don't forget to call build() at the end
2.Make a secondary auth variable by calling FirebaseApp.initializeApp()
3.Get instance of FirebaseAuth by passing your newly created secondary auth, and do whatever you want (e.g. createUser)
// 1. you can find these in your project settings under general tab
val firebaseOptionsBuilder = FirebaseOptions.Builder()
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setDatabaseUrl("YOUR_DATABASE_URL")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setProjectId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID")
firebaseOptionsBuilder.setApplicationId("YOUR_APPLICATION_ID") //not sure if this one is needed
val firebaseOptions = firebaseOptionsBuilder.build()
// indeterminate progress dialog *ANKO*
val progressDialog = indeterminateProgressDialog(resources.getString(R.string.progressDialog_message_registering))
progressDialog.show()
// 2. second auth created by passing the context, firebase options and a string for secondary db name
val newAuth = FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this#ListActivity, firebaseOptions, Constants.secondary_db_auth)
// 3. calling the create method on our newly created auth, passed in getInstance
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(newAuth).createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email!!, password!!)
.addOnCompleteListener { it ->
if (it.isSuccessful) {
// 'it' is a Task<AuthResult>, so we can get our newly created user from result
val newUser = it.result.user
// store wanted values on your user model, e.g. email, name, phonenumber, etc.
val user = User()
user.email = email
user.name = name
user.created = Date().time
user.active = true
user.phone = phone
// set user model on /db_root/users/uid_of_created_user/, or wherever you want depending on your structure
FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference.child(Constants.db_users).child(newUser.uid).setValue(user)
// send newly created user email verification link
newUser.sendEmailVerification()
progressDialog.dismiss()
// sign him out
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(newAuth).signOut()
// DELETE SECONDARY AUTH! thanks, Jimmy :D
newAuth.delete()
} else {
progressDialog.dismiss()
try {
throw it.exception!!
// catch exception for already existing user (e-mail)
} catch (e: FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) {
alert(resources.getString(R.string.exception_FirebaseAuthUserCollision), resources.getString(R.string.alertDialog_title_error)) {
okButton {
isCancelable = false
}
}.show()
}
}
}
For Android, i suggest a simpler way to do it, without having to provide api key, application id...etc by hand by just using the FirebaseOptions of the default instance.
val firebaseDefaultApp = Firebase.auth.app
val signUpAppName = firebaseDefaultApp.name + "_signUp"
val signUpApp = try {
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(
context,
firebaseDefaultApp.options,
signUpAppName
)
} catch (e: IllegalStateException) {
// IllegalStateException is throw if an app with the same name has already been initialized.
FirebaseApp.getInstance(signUpAppName)
}
// Here is the instance you can use to sign up without triggering auth state on the default Firebase.auth
val signUpFirebaseAuth = Firebase.auth(signUpApp)
How to use ?
signUpFirebaseAuth
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
.addOnSuccessListener {
// Optional, you can send verification email here if you need
// As soon as the sign up with sign in is over, we can sign out the current user
firebaseAuthSignUp.signOut()
}
.addOnFailureListener {
// Log
}
My solution to this question is to store the User Name/Email and password in a static class and then add a new user log out the new user and immediately log in as the admin user(id pass you saved). Works like a charm for me :D
This is a version for Kotlin:
fun createUser(mail: String, password: String) {
val opts = FirebaseOptions.fromResource(requireContext())
if (opts == null) return
val app = Firebase.initialize(requireContext(), opts, "Secondary")
FirebaseAuth.getInstance(app)
.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(mail, password)
.addOnSuccessListener {
app.delete()
doWhateverWithAccount(it)
}.addOnFailureListener {
app.delete()
showException(it)
}
}
It uses the configuration from your default Firebase application instance, just under a different name.
It also deletes the newly created instance afterwards, so you can call this multiple times without any exception about already existing Secondary application.
