Is it meant to be a standalone auth or do you still need to load firebase-simple-login.js as well?
A usage example (or docs) would be really handy. Thanks
Gents, this was posted to the mailing list; I think this would be a great place to start:
We have a demo app - Firetube - which some of you may recognize from the Firebase security screencast (https://www.firebase.com/docs/security-quickstart.html), to showcase the new AngularFire Auth API. The (very short) source code can be found here: https://github.com/anantn/firetube/blob/gh-pages/firetube.js and there's also a live version to play with: http://firetube.site44.com/
@anantn Maybe we should add these examples to the readme?
Ah ha, many thanks! Will take a look.
Thanks, I've had a look at the FireTube source code, and it seems to make sense. However, I am struggling with the initialize function - it seems to do a few things, so I am unsure if I need to initialize in every controller or just once. And if once, where in the scope hierarchy?
apologies if this is a dumb question!
Hello again; not a dumb question at all.
Since angularFire controllers (all Anguler services actually) are singletons, the controller function is only invoked once. So initialize() is therefore only called once--and should only ever be called once.
A good place, in my opinion, to handle the initialize, would be in an app.run() function, invoked after creating all the services.
Something like:
var app = Angular.module('app', ... );
/** do all my magic factory, service, controller calls */
app.run([ 'angularFireAuth', function(angularFireAuth) {
angularFireAuth.initialize(...);
}]);
I've been pointing people to the original post on the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/firebase-talk/D6wgBgUtK94/AygqI4oJ7b4J which has an overview of how to use the API along with links to examples.
We're working on a solution for some real angularFire documentation, stay tuned!
Thanks @anantn
thanks for the mailing list link - that has a ton of useful information in there, I'll get to work on hopefully getting auth set up on my app soon :)
Edit - a few teething problems, but I got it working, thanks chaps.
We also have an angularFire-seed now, which provides a great starting app, and implements authentication to all the current Simple Login providers.
Hey for an Update on this, it seems now the best practice is to use $firebaseSimpleLogin
or new FirebaseSimpleLogin
https://www.firebase.com/docs/security/simple-login-email-password.html The thinkster.io fantasy football app using firebase is outdated (issue that brought me here)
I noticed that the auth implementation issue was closed, and I have read the new code. Unfortunately I am not very experienced, I was wondering if / when you intend to update the documentation to describe how to implement the new functionality?
Thanks in advance
