Authenticate Shiny users with Google Firebase

Website | Demo | Reference

CAUTION

I sincerely apologise but a grave error on my part led to a grave potential security issue, see #11.

This is fixed in version 0.2.0: update as soon as possible. It is available on CRAN.

Note: You may need to refresh the cache, visit your app and CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + R

Authentication Methods

Currently the following methods from Google Firebase are available in the package:

• Email & Password
• Email Link
• Google
• Github
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Microsoft
• Yahoo!

Example

An application that provides authentication could look like this.

library(shiny)
library(firebase)

ui <- fluidPage(
  useFirebase(), # import dependencies,
  useFirebaseUI()
)

server <- function(input, output){
  f <- FirebaseUI$
    new()$ # instantiate
    set_providers( # define providers
      email = TRUE, 
      google = TRUE
    )$
    launch() # launch
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Install

Install the stable version from CRAN:

install.packages("firebase")

Install the development from Github using remotes:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("JohnCoene/firebase")
