Authenticate existing rails users on Firebase using one of it's auth method

[malav desai]

Can anyone help me to use AngularFire with Rails 4? I have an existing application running on rails 4 and I have implemented "Devise" authentication and users can sign up using Google Auth, Facebook Auth, and Normal Email-Password. Now want to implement Chat feature using Firebase. How am I going to authenticate my existing and new users on Firebase? Do I have to Authenticate Users on Firebase or directly access Real-time Database?

Hi Malav,

Firebase auth is primarily client side. The simplest answer here is to use the JS SDK on the client to authenticate, rather than trying to do this in Rails on the server. If your app is structured that you need the auth in Rails to render pages, you might need to try sending some data back and forth with the server (i.e. sending the auth id token to the server and using verifyIdToken() from the admin sdk). Note that you can also Auth via REST, but that's a whole other can of worms, since you likely need client interaction to complete Auth, which is tricky in RoR.
