Firebase Auth module has a different structure with Firebase-Admin Auth module

[johnkingzy]

Description

You all did a great job with mocking two modules which are

• firebase &
• firebase-admin

KUDOS 👍 🏆

However, there is an assumption that the Auth module in the firebase module would be the same as the Auth module in firebase-admin but they are different i.e with different methods and properties

For more clarity: This is the Auth module for Firebase Admin This is the Auth module for Firebase

if you scroll to methods, you will see that the method list is different.

Steps to reproduce

Try to use the auth module from firebase-admin, e.g

import * as admin from 'firebase-admin';
admin.initializeApp();

const auth = admin.auth();

auth.createUser({ email: 'test@example.com', password: 'password', displayName: 'john doe' })

Expected result

• Have createUser built-in as part of the FakeAuth class OR
• Create the flexibility to pass it in as a property in the overrides object

Actual result

TypeError: firebase_1.auth.createUser is not a function

Here is a link to a possible workaround solution https://gist.github.com/johnkingzy/9097b5b65fc8a472ed51a35d7a0aba45 TLDR: I redefined the FakeAuth class to match the module structure for firebase-admin
