Docs
Official library documentation can be found at https://next-firebase-auth-edge-docs.vercel.app
Why
Official firebase-admin
library relies heavily on Node.js internal crypto
library and primitives that are unavailable inside Next.js Edge Runtime.
This library aims to solve the problem of creating and verifying Custom ID Tokens using Web Crypto API available inside Edge runtimes.
Features
next-firebase-auth-edge
is compatible with latest Next.js features, such as App Router or Server Components
To allow gradual adoption of latest Next.js features, next-firebase-auth-edge
works interchangeably with getServerSideProps and legacy Api Routes
- Supports latest Next.js features
- Zero-bundle size
- Minimal configuration: In contrary to other libraries, you don't have to define your own API routes or update your
next.config.js
file. All heavy lifting is done by the middleware. - Secure: Uses jose for JWT validation. Signs user cookies with rotating keys to mitigate the risk of cryptanalysis attacks
What's new in v1.5
Most notable features are:
- Support for domain restricted Firebase API Keys
- Removed APIs deprecated in v1.0
