Interface representing Firebase Auth service.

See Firebase Authentication for a full guide on how to use the Firebase Auth service.

Signature:

exportinterfaceAuth

Properties

Methods

Auth.app

The FirebaseApp associated with the Auth service instance.

Signature:

readonlyapp:FirebaseApp;

Auth.config

The Config used to initialize this instance.

Signature:

readonlyconfig:Config;

Auth.currentUser

The currently signed-in user (or null).

Signature:

readonlycurrentUser:User|null;

Auth.emulatorConfig

The current emulator configuration (or null).

Signature:

readonlyemulatorConfig:EmulatorConfig|null;

Auth.languageCode

The Auth instance's language code.

This is a readable/writable property. When set to null, the default Firebase Console language setting is applied. The language code will propagate to email action templates (password reset, email verification and email change revocation), SMS templates for phone authentication, reCAPTCHA verifier and OAuth popup/redirect operations provided the specified providers support localization with the language code specified.

Signature:

languageCode:string|null;

Auth.name

The name of the app associated with the Auth service instance.

Signature:

readonlyname:string;

Auth.settings

The Auth instance's settings.

This is used to edit/read configuration related options such as app verification mode for phone authentication.

Signature:

readonlysettings:AuthSettings;

Auth.tenantId

The Auth instance's tenant ID.

This is a readable/writable property. When you set the tenant ID of an Auth instance, all future sign-in/sign-up operations will pass this tenant ID and sign in or sign up users to the specified tenant project. When set to null, users are signed in to the parent project.

Signature:

tenantId:string|null;

Example

// Set the tenant ID on Auth instance.auth.tenantId='TENANT_PROJECT_ID';// All future sign-in request now include tenant ID.constresult=awaitsignInWithEmailAndPassword(auth,email,password);// result.user.tenantId should be 'TENANT_PROJECT_ID'.

Auth.authStateReady()

returns a promise that resolves immediately when the initial auth state is settled. When the promise resolves, the current user might be a valid user or null if the user signed out.

Signature:

authStateReady():Promise<void>;

Returns:

Promise<void>

Auth.beforeAuthStateChanged()

Adds a blocking callback that runs before an auth state change sets a new user.

Signature:

beforeAuthStateChanged(callback:(user:User|null)=>void|Promise<void>,onAbort?:()=>void):Unsubscribe;

Parameters

Returns:

Unsubscribe

Auth.onAuthStateChanged()

Adds an observer for changes to the user's sign-in state.

To keep the old behavior, see Auth.onIdTokenChanged().

Signature:

onAuthStateChanged(nextOrObserver:NextOrObserver<User|null>,error?:ErrorFn,completed?:CompleteFn):Unsubscribe;

Parameters

Returns:

Unsubscribe

Auth.onIdTokenChanged()

Adds an observer for changes to the signed-in user's ID token.

This includes sign-in, sign-out, and token refresh events.

Signature:

onIdTokenChanged(nextOrObserver:NextOrObserver<User|null>,error?:ErrorFn,completed?:CompleteFn):Unsubscribe;

Parameters

Returns:

Unsubscribe

Auth.setPersistence()

Changes the type of persistence on the Auth instance.

This will affect the currently saved Auth session and applies this type of persistence for future sign-in requests, including sign-in with redirect requests.

This makes it easy for a user signing in to specify whether their session should be remembered or not. It also makes it easier to never persist the Auth state for applications that are shared by other users or have sensitive data.

This method does not work in a Node.js environment.

Signature:

setPersistence(persistence:Persistence):Promise<void>;

Parameters

Returns:

Promise<void>

Example

auth.setPersistence(browserSessionPersistence);

Auth.signOut()

Signs out the current user. This does not automatically revoke the user's ID token.

This method is not supported by Auth instances created with a FirebaseServerApp.

Signature:

signOut():Promise<void>;

Returns:

Promise<void>

Auth.updateCurrentUser()

Asynchronously sets the provided user as Auth.currentUser on the Auth instance.

A new instance copy of the user provided will be made and set as currentUser.

This will trigger Auth.onAuthStateChanged() and Auth.onIdTokenChanged() listeners like other sign in methods.

The operation fails with an error if the user to be updated belongs to a different Firebase project.

Signature:

updateCurrentUser(user:User|null):Promise<void>;

Parameters

Returns:

Promise<void>

Auth.useDeviceLanguage()

Sets the current language to the default device/browser preference.

Signature:

useDeviceLanguage():void;

Returns:

void
