firebase-token-verifier v0.1.0

firebase-token-verifier

Firebase JWT verifier, implements Verify ID tokens using a third-party JWT library. Use as a lightweight alternative to the Firebase Admin SDK if all you need to do is verify or validate a Firebase JWT.

Install

npm install --save firebase-token-verifier

Usage

firebase-token-verifier can be used with Promises, async, or callbacks.

validate() is just a wrapper around verify() that also checks the project ID (audience/issuer), and optionally the user ID (subject).

const verifier = require('firebase-token-verifier');
const token = 'eyJhb...';

Promise

verify

verifier.verify(token)
.then((verified) => {
  console.log('Verified!');
  console.log(JSON.stringify(verified, null, 2));
})
.catch((err) => {
  console.log('Error!');
  console.log(err);
});

validate

// userId is optional
// verifier.validate(token, projectId)
verifier.validate(token, projectId, userId)
.then((validated) => {
  console.log('Validated');
  console.log(JSON.stringify(validated, null, 2));
})
.catch((err) => {
  console.log('Error!');
  console.log(err);
})

async

verify

try {
  let verified = await verifier.verify(token);
  console.log('Verified!');
  console.log(JSON.stringify(verified, null, 2));
} catch(err) {
  console.log('Error!');
  console.log(err);
}

validate

try {
  // userId is optional
  // verifier.validate(token, projectId)
  let validated = await verifier.validate(token, projectId, userId);
  console.log('Validated!');
  console.log(JSON.stringify(validated, null, 2));
} catch(err) {
  console.log('Error!');
  console.log(err);
}

callback

verify

verifier.verify(token, (err, verified) => {
  if(err) {
    console.log('Error!');
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Verified!');
    console.log(JSON.stringify(verified, null, 2));
  }
})

validate

// userId is optional
// verifier.validate(token, projectId, callback)
verifier.validate(token, projectId, userId, (err, validated) => {
  if(err) {
    console.log('Error!');
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Validated!');
    console.log(JSON.stringify(validated, null, 2));
  }
})
