Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

firebaseAuthProvider

✓ import { firebaseAuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-firebase'

✗ const firebaseAuthProvider = require('ra-auth-firebase')

ESM-only package; named export.

FirebaseAuthProviderOptions

✓ import type { FirebaseAuthProviderOptions } from 'ra-auth-firebase'

✗ import { FirebaseAuthProviderOptions } from 'ra-auth-firebase'

TypeScript users should import this type separately from the function.

default

✓ import firebaseAuthProvider from 'ra-auth-firebase'

✗ import { default as firebaseAuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-firebase'

Package has a default export that is the same as the named export; both work.

Initializes Firebase app and creates a react-admin auth provider with firebaseAuthProvider.

import { firebaseAuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-firebase'; import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app'; const firebaseConfig = { apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY ?? '', authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN ?? '', projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID ?? '', }; const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig); const authProvider = firebaseAuthProvider(app, { // Optional: specify which providers to enable }); export default authProvider;

Debug

Known issues

gotchafirebaseAuthProvider requires a Firebase app instance initialized with initializeApp; passing a config object directly will fail.

fix

Call initializeApp() and pass the returned app reference to firebaseAuthProvider.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaThe provider only handles authentication; it does not include a Firebase data provider. You must use a separate data provider (e.g., ra-data-firebase) for CRUD operations.

fix

Use ra-data-firebase or another Firebase data provider for data access.

affects: >=1.0

deprecatedFirebase v9+ modular SDK is required; does not support the older namespace-based SDK.

fix

Use firebase v9+ and import from 'firebase/auth' instead of 'firebase'.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaWhen using TypeScript, the FirebaseAuthProviderOptions type must be imported explicitly; it is not re-exported from the default export.

fix

Import type { FirebaseAuthProviderOptions } from 'ra-auth-firebase'.

affects: >=1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: firebaseAuthProvider is not a function

Using CommonJS require() instead of ESM import; package is ESM-only.

fix

Use import { firebaseAuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-firebase' or set type: module in package.json.

Error: Firebase: No Firebase App '[DEFAULT]' has been created

A Firebase app instance was not initialized before calling firebaseAuthProvider.

fix

Call initializeApp(config) and pass the result to firebaseAuthProvider.

Property 'firebaseAuthProvider' does not exist on type 'typeof import(...)'.

TypeScript users may have incorrect import due to missing named export type.

fix

Use import { firebaseAuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-firebase' (named export) and ensure tsconfig allows ESM.
