Add storage to notification bot - teams-toolkit

I followed this tutorial to create a Teams notification bot with Teams Toolkit: (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/sbs-gs-notificationbot?tabs=vscode&tutorial-step=3)
To store the channels where the bot is installed in a persistent way, I tried to add a custom blob storage. But the documentation was not really clear for me.
In initialize.js I added
const { BlobsStorage } = require("botbuilder-azure-blobs");
const myStorage = new BlobsStorage(
config.blobConnectionString,
config.blobContainerName
);
and
notification: {
enabled: true,
storage: myStorage,
},
In the config.js I added
blobConnectionString: process.env.BLOB_CONNECTION_STRING,
blobContainerName: process.env.BLOB_CONTAINER_NAME,
and in .env.teamsfx.local I added
blobConnectionString=<my connection string>
blobContainerName=<my container name>
But it is not working. The Azure function fails. How should I add a blob storage for this purpose?

For additional information on how to incorporate notification storage into your application, you can review the following document which includes a sample implementation available on GitHub:

Redirect to a specific screen from React Native Firebase Push Notifications based on a Deeplink

I got a problem,
1 ) I'm using Firebase to send remote Push Notifications, i test by sending from FCM tester.
2 ) I've activated Deep-Linking in my project and started to use it.
3 ) In FCM tester i pass this key value into "notifications.data" :
{ "link" : "MY_LINK" }
Now i want my app to be able to recognize there is a deepLink in it & read it.
Which i achieved to do somehow but not the way i was looking for.
What i did :
NotificationContextProvider.ts
useEffect(() => {
const unsubscribeClosedApp = messaging().onNotificationOpenedApp(
remoteMessage => {
addNotification(remoteMessage);
console.log(
'Notification caused app to open from background state:',
remoteMessage.notification,
);
redirectFromKey(remoteMessage.data?.redirection);
console.log(remoteMessage.data, 'remote message data');
console.log(remoteMessage, 'remote message full');
console.log(remoteMessage.notification?.body, 'remote message body');
console.log(remoteMessage.notification?.title, 'remote message title');
if (remoteMessage.data?.link === 'https://[MY-LINK]/TnRV') {
console.log(remoteMessage.data?.link, 'Deeplink detected & opened');
navigation.navigate({
name: 'Logged',
params: {
screen: 'Onboarded',
params: {
screen: 'LastAnalyse',
},
},
});
}
},
);
And it's working fine but it's not based on reading a link, but by comparing a value and it's not what i'm trying to achieve.
Firebase Doc' give us a way to do this : https://rnfirebase.io/dynamic-links/usage#listening-for-dynamic-links
This is what Firebase suggests :
import dynamicLinks from '#react-native-firebase/dynamic-links';
function App() {
const handleDynamicLink = link => {
// Handle dynamic link inside your own application
if (link.url === 'https://invertase.io/offer') {
// ...navigate to your offers screen
}
};
useEffect(() => {
const unsubscribe = dynamicLinks().onLink(handleDynamicLink);
// When the component is unmounted, remove the listener
return () => unsubscribe();
}, []);
return null;
}
And i have no clue how to make it works.
I got to mention that deep-links are correctly setup in my project and working fine, my code is in Typescript.
Basicaly you can find on this web page what i'm trying to achieve but i want to use Firebase/messaging + Dynamic links. My project don't use local notifications and will never do : https://medium.com/tribalscale/working-with-react-navigation-v5-firebase-cloud-messaging-and-firebase-dynamic-links-7d5c817d50aa
Any idea ?
I looked into this earlier, it seems that...
You can't send a deep link in an FCM message using the firebase Compose Notification UI.
You probably can send a deep link in an FCM message using the FCM REST API. More in this stackoverflow post.
The REST API looks so cumbersome to implement you're probably better off the way you're doing it: Using the firebase message composer with a little data payload, and your app parses the message data with Invertase messaging methods firebase.messaging().getInitialNotification() and firebase.messaging().onNotificationOpenedApp().
As for deep linking, which your users might create in-app when trying to share something, or you might create in the firebase Dynamic Links UI: For your app to notice actual deep links being tapped on the device, you can use Invertase dynamic links methods firebase.dynamicLinks().getInitialLink() and firebase.dynamicLinks().onLink().

Firebase: Delete user analytics data - userdeletionRequests:upsert - GDPR

My question is, how can I delete a users analytics data from firebase using "Google User Deletion API" and its method: userdeletionRequests:upsert? This is important for me to fully fulfill GDPR.
I tried searching for this, but didn't a solution for using it in combination with "NodeJS" and "firebase-cloud-functions".
My biggest problem is, how I get the access, token, this is what I have for now:
const accessToken = (await admin.credential.applicationDefault().getAccessToken()).access_token;
return ky.post(constants.googleUserDeletionURL, {
body: JSON.stringify({
kind: "analytics#userDeletionRequest",
id: {
type: "USER_ID",
userId: uid,
},
propertyId: constants.googleUserDeletionPropertyId,
}),
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
},
}).catch((err) => {
functions.logger.log(`An Error happened trying to delete user-anayltics ${(err as Error).message}`);
});
But I always get An Error happened trying to delete user-anayltics Request failed with status code 403 Forbidden
Okay, after some painful and long days (literally took me like >20 hours), I've figured out how to achieve this request. Here is a step for step guide:
Step 1 - Needed Dependencies
To send a post-request to google, we need a http-client-library. I've choosen "ky", so we need to install it first with:
npm install ky
Furthermore, we need to create or OWN oAuth2 token, otherwise the post request will be denied with "error 403". To create our own oAuth token, we need another dependency:
npm install #googleapis/docs
Step 2 - Needed Google Property ID
With your request, Google needs to know which property-id / project you are targeting (where it should later delete the user-analytics-data). To get this property-id, we need to log in into GCP via Firebase (not the "real" GCP, the one via Firebase).
For this, go into your "console.firebase.google.com" → Select your project → Analytics Dashboard → "View more in Google Analytics (button at the right corner)"
Write "property-id" into the search field and then save it somewhere (we need it later)
Step 3 - Creating Client-Secret
The third step is to create a service-account, which we will later add into our functions-folder, in order to create our oAuthClient (don't worry, you will see what I mean to a later point)
To create your new service.json, log in to google cloud platform via "https://cloud.google.com/" and then follow the pictures:
FIRST:
SECOND:
THIRD:
FOURTH:
FIFTH
Step 4 - Download JSON
After we created our "oAuth-Deleter service-account", we need to manually download the needed JSON, so we can paste it into our functions-folder.
For this, select "oauth-deleter#your-domain.iam.gserviceaccount.com" under "Service Account"
Then click on "Keys" and "Add key", which will automagically download you a service-json (SELECT Key type → JSON → Create).
Step 5 - Paste JSON file into your functions-folder
To loosen up the mood a bit, here is an easy step. Paste the downloaded JSON-File into your functions-folder.
Step 6 - Grant Access to our new created oAuth-Delelter-Account
Creating the service-account and giving it access in the normal GCP is not enough for Google, so we also have to give it access in our Firebase project. For this, go back into your "GCP via Firebase (see Step 2)" → Click on Setting → "User Access for Account" → Click on the "plus"
Then click on "Add user" and write the email we copied before into the email field (the email from Step 3, Picture FOURTH "Service-Account ID). In our case, it is "oAuth-Deleter#your-domain.iam.gserviceaccount.com". Furthermore, it needs admin-access:
Step 6 - The code
Now, after these million unnecessary but necessary steps, we get to the final part. THE DAMN CODE. I've written this in typescript with "compilerOptions" → "module": "esnext", "target": "esnext". But I am sure that you are smart enough to change the code after completing this many steps :)
import admin from "firebase-admin";
import functions from "firebase-functions";
import ky from "ky";
import docs from "#googleapis/docs";
import { UserRecord } from "firebase-functions/v1/auth";
export const dbUserOnDeleted = functions.
.auth
.user()
.onDelete((user) => doOnDeletedUser(user))
----------------------------
export asnc function doOnDeletedUser/user: UserRecord) {
try {
const googleDeletionURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/userDeletion/userDeletionRequests:upsert"
// Step 1: Paste propertyID: (See Step 2)
const copiedPropertyID = "12345678"
// Step 2: Create oAuthClient
const oAuthClient = new docs.auth.GoogleAuth({
keyFile: "NAME-OF-THE-FILE-YOU-COPIED-INTO-YOUR-FUNCTIONS-FOLDER",
scopes: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.user.deletion"]
});
// Step 3: Get user uid you want to delete from user-analytics
const uid = user.uid
// Step 4: Generate access token
// (this is the reason why we needed the 5 steps before this)
// yup, a single line of code
const accessToken = await oAuthClient.getAccessToken() as string;
// Step 5: Make the request to google and delete the user
return ky.post(googleDeletionURL, {
body: JSON.stringify({
kind: "analytics#userDeletionRequest",
id: {
type: "USER_ID",
userid: uid
},
propertyId: copiedPropertyID
}),
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + accessToken,
}
});
} catch (err) {
functions.logger.error(`Something bad happened, ${(err as Error).message)`
}
}
Afterthoughts
This was and probably will be my longest post at stack overflow forever. I have to say that it was a pain in the a** to get this thing to working. The amount of work and setup that is needed to simply delete a data from one endpoint is just ridiculous. Google, please fix.

How do I use cordova firebase.dynamiclinks plugin in Ionic 4?

I want to use Cordova Firebase Dynamiclinks plugin : https://github.com/chemerisuk/cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks#installation in my Ionic 4 App.
There is an Ionic-native-plugin usage for this too : npm install #ionic-native/firebase-dynamic-links and usage :
import { FirebaseDynamicLinks } from '#ionic-native/firebase-dynamic-links/ngx';
constructor(private firebaseDynamicLinks: FirebaseDynamicLinks) { }
...
this.firebaseDynamicLinks.onDynamicLink()
.subscribe((res: any) => console.log(res), (error:any) => console.log(error));
Issue is : I want to use createDynamicLink(parameters) method available in Cordova Firebase Dynamiclinks plugin but Ionic-native-plugin says
Property 'createDynamicLink' does not exist on type 'FirebaseDynamicLinks'.
Therefore, I need to use Cordova Firebase Dynamiclinks directly and I tried doing using it like
import { cordova } from '#ionic-native/core';
...
cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.createDynamicLink({
link: "https://google.com"
}).then(function(url) {
console.log("Dynamic link was created:", url);
});
But got error
Property 'plugins' does not exist on type '(pluginObj: any, methodName: string, config: CordovaOptions, args: IArguments | any[]) => any'.
Also tried removing import
cordova.plugins.firebase.dynamiclinks.createDynamicLink({
link: "https://google.com"
}).then(function(url) {
console.log("Dynamic link was created:", url);
});
And got this
Property 'firebase' does not exist on type 'CordovaPlugins'.
What is the correct usage of cordova plugins?
Update
Ionic-native-plugin now contains all the methods available in Cordova Firebase Dynamiclinks plugin.
I believe this is more fitting of a comment, but I don't quite have the reputation for it yet.
Currently, there is a PR open in the #ionic-team/ionic-native repo (here). This exposes the extra methods, but until then you can use the original repo here to get your desired effect. In order to install the repo you will have to follow the directions in the Developer guide here. Cheers!
I have developed an ionic 5 app that uses Firebase Dynamic Links and it works great but it took some effort. I watched videos to understand how Firebase Dynamic Links work but there is certainly much that is not shown.
To answer the original question you can always manually create a dynamic link which is what I do in our solution. We created a dynamic link that would help users onboard (register an account). Our dynamic link has custom onboardingId which originates from the backend process and the link is presented to the user via SMS text message.
This is in app.component.ts constructor
Here is some code that happens when the user clicks the dynamic link:
// Handle the logic here after opening the app (app is already installed) with the Dynamic link
this.firebaseDynamicLinks.onDynamicLink().subscribe((res: any) => {
console.log('app was opened with dynamic link');
console.log(res);
/* This only fires on subsequent calls and not on app start 20220208 STR
console.log(JSON.stringify(res)); //"{"deepLink":"https://localhost/onboard?onboardingId=8ed634b0-53b7-4a0f-b67e-12c06019982a","clickTimestamp":1643908387670,"minimumAppVersion":0}"
var dynamicLink = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res));
var deepLink = dynamicLink.deepLink;
console.log(deepLink);
if (deepLink.indexOf("onboard")>=0){
this.isOnboarding = true;
}
alert("deepLink ="+ deepLink);
*/
}, (error:any) => {
console.log(error)
});
I originally thought that Firebase handles all of the magic if the user doesn't have the app installed. I was wrong! You MUST also handle the code to pickup the dynamic link after the app is installed.
The code below will read the dynamic link from the clipboard and survives the app install process. Placed in app.component.ts ngOnInit().
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
this.firebaseDynamicLinks.getDynamicLink().then((data) => {
//added 20220208 STR try to help open the deep link if app is just installed
if (data != null) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
//alert("initializeApp():"+JSON.stringify(data));
var dynamicLink = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
var deepLink = dynamicLink.deepLink;
console.log("initializeApp():"+deepLink);
if (deepLink != "") {
if (deepLink.indexOf("onboard")>=0){
this.isOnboarding = true;
this.deepLinkToOnboard(deepLink);
}
}
}
});}
So to handle dynamic links after you have the Firebase plugin installed, you must have two sections of code; one for handling if the app is already installed and another for handling the dynamic link if the app is not installed.

firebase auth token from Graphcool

can I generate a custom auth token, for use with a third party, with a resolver in graph.cool? something like this??
type FirebaseTokenPayload {
token: String!
}
extend type Query {
FirebaseToken(userIdentifier: String!): FirebaseTokenPayload
}
const fb = require('myNodeFirebaseAuthLib')
module.exports = event => fb.generateTokenWithPayload({ id: event.data.userId })
Authentication required - restrict who can read data in fields: Permission query:
query ($user_id: ID!, $node_firebaseIdentifier: String) {
SomeUserExists(filter: {
id: $user_id ,
firebaseIdentifier: $node_firebaseIdentifier
})
}
--
I think this question boils down two parts
"is it possible to install node modules in the graph.cool instance -- or for that sort of thing do we need to use a webhook" -- if it must be a webhook, what is the flow of identity verification and how do I pass the payload parameters ?
"can we add permissions queries and authentication to resolvers?"
notes, addendums:
according to this alligator.io blog post, it seems that using the Graphcool framework, you can install node modules! So, I wouldn't need to use a webhook. -- However, that is with an ejected app. I lose auth0 authentication that way -- the template does not produce a createUser and singinUser that works with the same auth0 data that the integration offers.
I forgot to post the answer to this - I had to eject graphcool, I could not use any node_modules I thought to try in my custom functions.

Firebase - Saving data

I have a question regarding the firebase.
I'm developing an app where there are three screens: the 'registration screen' where the user will create an account with email and password. The 'building profile screen', where the user will answer some questions to be implemented in his profile, (such as "What's your name?"). And finally the 'profile screen', where the user information will be displayed, such as the user name.
On the 'registration screen' I'm having no problem, the user fills in the email input and password input, and by clicking "create account", calling .createUserWithEmailAndPassword, the user account is created and it is taken to the 'building profile screen'. The question I'm having is in the 'building profile screen'. My question is: How can I save the user name and other data?
I read some articles on the subject but I had difficulty understanding. Can any of you guys help me with this?
You're going to want to create a node or multiple nodes in firebase for each user to hold their user-specific information. The database structure could be uniform like so:
users: {
uid_a: {
username: 'uid_as_username',
email: 'uid_as_email',
name: 'uid_as_name',
other_attribute: 'uid_as_other_attribute_value'
[,...]
},
uid_b: {
username: 'uid_bs_username',
email: 'uid_bs_email',
name: 'uid_bs_name',
other_attribute: 'uid_bs_other_attribute_value'
[,...]
}
[,...]
}
or split up like so:
usernames: {
uid_a: 'uid_as_username',
uid_b: 'uid_bs_username'
[,...]
},
emails: {
uid_a: 'uid_as_email',
uid_b: 'uid_bs_email'
[,...]
},
names: {
uid_a: 'uid_as_name',
uid_b: 'uid_bs_name'
[,...]
},
other_attribute: {
uid_a: 'uid_as_other_attribute_value',
uid_b: 'uid_bs_other_attribute_value'
[,...]
}
Which you choose is a design choice, but thats the idea.
Just complementing #Vincent answer, by default you can store the user name, email and photoUrl within firebase auth (read get user profile: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users).
If you need to store more info, like postal address, phonenumbers, and so on, you can create a node in your database like users and store all the data you need. You can even use the same UID created for auth as the ID of your database. This way it would be easier for you to get user infos in the future.
When you just create the user with email and password, you can return the user and add it to your database with a script like this
firebase.database.ref(`Users/${user.uid}`).set({
name: this.state.name,
email: this.state.email,
});
Consider the code above just as an example.
Prefer to use .set() instead of .push(). If you use .push() firebase will create a random id which you will not be able to change. Using .set() you can determine the value of your node.
Hope it helps.
This is taken from the official documentation that might give you clue how to update and fetch data from database.
Set up Firebase Realtime Database for Android
Connect your app to Firebase
Install the Firebase SDK. In the Firebase console, add your app to
your Firebase project. Add the Realtime Database to your app
Add the dependency for Firebase Realtime Database to your app-level
build.gradle file:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.2.2'
Configure Firebase Database Rules
The Realtime Database provides a declarative rules language that
allows you to define how your data should be structured, how it should
be indexed, and when your data can be read from and written to. By
default, read and write access to your database is restricted so only
authenticated users can read or write data. To get started without
setting up Authentication, you can configure your rules for public
access. This does make your database open to anyone, even people not
using your app, so be sure to restrict your database again when you
set up authentication.
Write to your database
Retrieve an instance of your database using getInstance() and
reference the location you want to write to.
// Write a message to the database
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference("message");
myRef.setValue("Hello, World!");
You can save a range of data types to the database this way, including
Java objects. When you save an object the responses from any getters
will be saved as children of this location.
Read from your database
To make your app data update in realtime, you should add a
ValueEventListener to the reference you just created.
The onDataChange() method in this class is triggered once when the
listener is attached and again every time the data changes, including
the children.
// Read from the database
myRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
// This method is called once with the initial value and again
// whenever data at this location is updated.
String value = dataSnapshot.getValue(String.class);
Log.d(TAG, "Value is: " + value);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {
// Failed to read value
Log.w(TAG, "Failed to read value.", error.toException());
}
});
