Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

passport-firebase-jwt

Based on passport-jwt

A Passport strategy to authenticate with Firebase Auth.

This module lets you authenticate endpoints when using Firebase Auth in a Node.js application.

Install

npm install passport-firebase-jwt

Usage

NestJS TypeScript usage example:

Strategy name is: firebase-jwt.

index.ts

Make sure firebase is initialized before starting NestJs

import { credential, initializeApp } from 'firebase-admin';
import * as express from 'express';
import * as serviceAccount from './serviceAccountKey.json';

const config = {
    apiKey: '***',
    authDomain: '***.firebaseapp.com',
    databaseURL: 'https://***.firebaseio.com',
    projectId: '***',
    storageBucket: '***.appspot.com',
    messagingSenderId: '***',
    credential: credential.cert(***)
};
initializeApp(config);

firebase-auth.strategy.ts

import { PassportStrategy } from '@nestjs/passport';
import { Injectable, UnauthorizedException } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Strategy, ExtractJwt } from 'passport-firebase-jwt';
import { auth } from 'firebase-admin';

@Injectable()
export class FirebaseAuthStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy) {

    constructor() {
        super({
            jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken()
        });
    }

    validate(token) {
        return auth()
            .verifyIdToken(token, true)
            .catch((err) => {
                console.log(err);
                throw new UnauthorizedException();
            });
    }
}

auth.module.ts

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PassportModule } from '@nestjs/passport';
import { FirebaseAuthStrategy } from './firebase-auth.strategy';

@Module({
    imports: [
        PassportModule.register({ defaultStrategy: 'firebase-jwt' })
    ],
    providers: [
        FirebaseAuthStrategy
    ],
    exports: [
        PassportModule
    ]
})
export class AuthModule {}

Extracting the JWT from the request

There are a number of ways the JWT may be included in a request. In order to remain as flexible as possible the JWT is parsed from the request by a user-supplied callback passed in as the jwtFromRequest parameter. This callback, from now on referred to as an extractor, accepts a request object as an argument and returns the encoded JWT string or null.

Included extractors

A number of extractor factory functions are provided in passport-jwt.ExtractJwt. These factory functions return a new extractor configured with the given parameters.

  • fromHeader(header_name) creates a new extractor that looks for the JWT in the given http header
  • fromBodyField(field_name) creates a new extractor that looks for the JWT in the given body field. You must have a body parser configured in order to use this method.
  • fromUrlQueryParameter(param_name) creates a new extractor that looks for the JWT in the given URL query parameter.
  • fromAuthHeaderWithScheme(auth_scheme) creates a new extractor that looks for the JWT in the authorization header, expecting the scheme to match auth_scheme.
  • fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken() creates a new extractor that looks for the JWT in the authorization header with the scheme 'bearer'
  • fromExtractors([array of extractor functions]) creates a new extractor using an array of extractors provided. Each extractor is attempted in order until one returns a token.
