graphene-django-firebase-auth 0.0.22

# graphene-django-firebase-auth

Authentication provider for graphene-django and Firebase’s Authentication service.

Note this is a WIP and abandoned project since I never ended up using Firebase. But the code is still a good starting point as of writing this.

Partially inspired by [django-firebase-auth](https://github.com/fcornelius/django-firebase-auth) for Django REST framework.

This app is used with [Firebase Authentication](https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/) on a client.

## Compatibility

This code has only been tested with Python 3.7.0 and Django 2.1.2.

## Installing

1. Install the app:

`sh pipenv install graphene-django-firebase-auth `

2. Download the JSON file from your [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) with your account’s credentials.

3. Set FIREBASE_KEY_FILE in your project’s settings to the path of the credentials file:

`python import os FIREBASE_KEY_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'path/to/firebase-credentials.json') `

4. Add the authentication backend to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS:

`python AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ['firebase_auth.authentication.FirebaseAuthentication'] `

5. Add firebase_auth to INSTALLED_APPS:

`python INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'firebase_auth', ] `

6. Add FirebaseAuthMixin to your AUTH_USER_MODEL:

`python class User(PermissionsMixin, FirebaseAuthMixin): `

7. Build and run your DB migrations to add the changes:

`sh ./manage.py makemigrations ./manage.py migrate `

## Sending tokens on the client

Your client will need to send an Authorization: Bearer token on each request. How you do this depends on your client and is outside the scope of this documentation.

## Developing

### Setting up your environment

1. Install the dependencies:

`sh pipenv install -d `

2. Download the JSON file from your [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) with your account’s credentials.

3. Create an .env file using .env.example as a template. Make sure to specify the path to the file in the previous step.

4. Enter the virtual environment:

`sh ./manage.py shell `
