React Native third-party auth

[Cem Turan]

Is it in any way possible to do third-party auth for firebase on react-native? 

I've tried embedding the .js library in a webview, but the webview does not seem to support authWithOAuthPopup?

So far the only solution I've found is using Auth0 for oauth, but i'd rather rely on as few providers as possible:

Hey Cem,

It's certainly possible though not as easy as we'd like. :-) 

The basic approach would be to do a normal native login (e.g. using the iOS Facebook SDK) and then pass the resulting oauth token to ref.authWithOAuthToken().

If you're interested in Facebook specifically, this blog post walks you through using facebook login in a react-native app.  So I'd follow through that procedure.  In their example, they have:

    FacebookLoginManager.newSession((error, info) => {

      if (error) {

        this.setState({result: error});

      } else {

        this.setState({result: info});

      }

    });

If I'm reading the code right, I think the info object will contain a .tokenString property which you would then pass to ref.authWithOAuthToken() to authenticate to Firebase using that token.

Sorry I don't have a complete example to share, but hopefully this gets you going down the right track.

Holler if you have questions or get something working!

Best regards,

-Michael
