I have just implemented the Twitter login to my Firebase web app. When the user successfully login, I'd like to see the user's Twitter ID (to enable Twitter-based communication among users).
According to the document (https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users), the provider specific information is under providerData of the user info.
Under the providerData, I see the following
displayName: "Satoshi Nakajima" (as I expected)
email: null (as I expected)
phoneNumber: null (as I expected)
photoURL: "https://abs.twimg.com/..." (as I expected)
providerId: "twitter.com" (of course)
uid: "1129128..." (what is this?)
The uid seems like a unique id, but it is different from the Twitter ID we usually use, such as #snakajime (which is mine).
I am wondering why I don't see the Twitter id here. Am I missing something? Is there any API to get the Twitter ID from this strange uid?
You can actually get it immediately after sign-in, via AdditionalUserInfo.
Here is an example with the web API:
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(new firebase.auth.TwitterAuthProvider())
.then((userCredential) => {
// Get the Twitter screen name.
console.log(userCredential.additionalUserInfo.username);
})
.catch((error) => {
// An error occurred.
});
As far as I know, the screen name you are looking for is not included as part of the Twitter OAuth provided through Firebase, but the uid that you have found is indeed the user's twitter user ID.
Using this ID you can use the Twitter API to get details about the user by passing it to the twitter API users/show endpoint. Since you plan on providing Twitter based communication, you will likely need to use this API anyway.
e.g.:
GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?user_id={the_uid_from_provider_data}
RESPONSE:
{
"id": {the_uid_from_provider_data},
"id_str": "{the_uid_from_provider_data}",
"name": "Snakajime",
"screen_name": "snakajime", // <--- Here is the screen name you are looking for
...
}

Edited Question :
I have an issue with Firebase Dynamic Links Packag , My goal is getting know if new user installed and opend my app for first time to give him a rewards like 10 point . I tried to search everywhere but no answer,in firebase website there is option to know if user install for first time.
My Goal is : Getting value for first time install & how to debug this code ?
initDynamicLinks when app Lanched :
void initDynamicLinks() async {
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.onLink(
onSuccess: (PendingDynamicLinkData dynamicLink) async {
final Uri deepLink = dynamicLink?.link;
if (deepLink != null) {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, deepLink.path);
}
},
onError: (OnLinkErrorException e) async {
print('onLinkError');
print(e.message);
}
);
final PendingDynamicLinkData data = await FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink();
final Uri deepLink = data?.link;
if (deepLink != null) {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, deepLink.path);
}
}
.
You're mixing two things here.
The First-opens tab gives you the number of unique users who clicked on your Firebase Dynamic Link for the first time.
If you want to know how many unique users used your app, by clicking the Firebase Dynamic Link or not to get to your app, you have to implement the Firebase Analytics plugin to your app.
This way you'll get access to Dashboards showing you how many Unique users you have.
EDIT
Reading your comment, looks like your question is not related to your problem.
What you want here is to attribute rewards for users who invited their friends thanks to a referral link.
Since I never implemented this witout a dedicated backend, the only thing I can share is a use-case I used some time ago explaining the logic to follow to implement it.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/use-cases/rewarded-referral
EDIT 2
The logic explained in the documentation is the following :
1- Generate a Dynamic Link for UserA.
2- UserA sends the Dynamic Link to someone (called UserB).
3- When UserB starts the app from a Dynamic Link, retrieve the referral informations in the app (to retrieve UserA's informations)
4- Call a route on your backend to attribute the reward to UserA (and check if UserB is really a new user in your database).
The point is, you shouldn't manage a referral/referrer relationship on the client's side (it would be way too easily abused/hacked).
It's the job of a backend (or cloud function) to manage this.
Once you have received the link clickthrough in your app use the google_analytics package to log an event.

Flutter log event with google analytics
To be honest i have never used Firebase Dynamic Links , But if your Goal is to Achieve a first open or login token , you can always use the Sharedpreferences package , in my case iam using it to navigate to different pages passed on the first login value .
i think that Sharedpreferences is more reliable and easier than what you are trying to achieve with firebase
UPDATE:
what you actually want to do is make a firebase collection with IMEI numbers , when there is a new IMEI that means a new user , when that IMEI is in your collection that means that the app is not installed for the first time ,
you can use this package imei_plugin to get IMEI number and store it on firebase
According to Meteor's documentation on the Accounts package:
By default, the current user’s username, emails and profile are published to the client.
Is it possible to prevent Meteor from auto-publishing these fields? I know it's just for the user that is logged in, but that user could take a walk or be online somewhere public.
This structure of the code seems to be defined in accounts_server.js (search for autopublish and email - lines 37 and 696).
The most straightforward way to do this is going to be to modify the value of Accounts._defaultPublishFields.projection and remove the emails key. An easy way to do this while keeping the other values is to use a combination of rest and spread like so:
import { Accounts } from 'meteor/accounts-base';
const { emails, ...fields } = Accounts._defaultPublishFields.projection;
Accounts._defaultPublishFields.projection = { ...fields };
Just make sure this runs on the server and you should be good to go.
I have an app with 3 sign in methods: Google, Facebook & mail.
I want to show the users that are signed in with mail a different screen.
Is it possible to get the sign in method form the package firebase authentication?
I know I can fix this by using firestore & checking if a statement is true or false. But that will cost me a read every time a user opens the app...
This seems to be what you want: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseUser.html#getProviderData()
In my app where I use Google logins only, I have firebaseUser.providerData[1].providerId == 'google.com'.
Btw, firebaseUser.providerData[0].providerId == 'firebase'.
I guess you could check them all and look for what providers you get for different kinds of users.
Edit: here's what I get when logging in with e-mail: https://postimg.cc/BXWGGN6h
Firebase has a special property providerId. But, as mentioned #GazihanAlankus it always returns firebase.
And, the property firebaseUser.providerData[1].providerId sometimes not exists (for example when user used anonymous login).
So, we should use appropriate approaches, for example:
FirebaseUser user = await _firebaseAuth.currentUser();
if (user.providerData.length < 2) {
// do something
}
else {
print(res.providerId);
}
The list of values, that are returned by property providerId:
EmailAuthProviderID: password
PhoneAuthProviderID: phone
GoogleAuthProviderID: google.com
FacebookAuthProviderID: facebook.com
TwitterAuthProviderID: twitter.com
GitHubAuthProviderID: github.com
AppleAuthProviderID: apple.com
YahooAuthProviderID: yahoo.com
MicrosoftAuthProviderID: hotmail.com
I got this list from the cool research here What is the full list of provider id's for firebase.UserInfo.providerId?
In my app I used
FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser.providerData[0].providerId == 'google.com'.,
cause providerData[1] doesn't contain any value
For anyone reading this in 2022, Firebase now has nice new docs for Flutter and in it they have this, which I personally found super useful:
if (user != null) {
for (final providerProfile in user.providerData) {
// ID of the provider (google.com, apple.cpm, etc.)
final provider = providerProfile.providerId;
// UID specific to the provider
final uid = providerProfile.uid;
// Name, email address, and profile photo URL
final name = providerProfile.displayName;
final emailAddress = providerProfile.email;
final profilePhoto = providerProfile.photoURL;
}
}
Source: Firebase documentation
But that will cost me a read every time a user opens the app. THIS IS TRUTH!
Alternatively, you can create your own app DB using SQFLite, and create only one table (user) in that, having a field of signUpMethod having possible values are google, facebook and mail. Whenever you opens the app, first check that in your db, if this is mail, redirect to another screen which you want, else call firebase service
Cheers!
First off, thanks for taking the time; this is my first question posted!
I'm in the middle of coding my first mobile application in React Native: a stats managing App for my fraternity. Right now, I would like an admin user to be able to add other users to the app and set their initial profile information (first name, last name, position, dues paid etc).
Once they submit the details, the code below tells firebase to create a new user using the provided email and password, then adds their other profile information under the user parent in the Realtime Database.
firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
.then(() => {
console.log(key);
firebase.database().ref('/ChapterName/users/' + key)
.set({ firstName, lastName, rank, position, goodStanding, dues, communityService, chapters, mixers, brotherhoods });
})
The JSON tree created can be seen here: Firebase Tree
My problem is that when the new user logs in, I cannot find a way to access their profile information...ideally, I would set the key of each child under 'user' to the user's email: that way they could login and I could match their email to the key of their profile info and fetch it that way. Unfortunately, keys must be UTF-8 encoded and don't allow for me to include '# or .'
Does anyone know a way around this? I feel as if the firebase Admin API could be a solution but I can't seem to wrap my head around it.
Inside react-native with firebase, if they user already login and you already integrate firebase with redux, you can access the current user information inside redux using this line
state.firebase.profile
as per my suggestion, I think it's best for to integrate
react-native app + react-native-firebase + react-redux-firebase
thus, you dont have to use web firebase function as it's already exist in props.
if you need to update the profile after user already created you can use something like this
this.props.firebase.auth().createUserAndRetrieveDataWithEmailAndPassword(email, password).then((user) => {
this.props.firebase.updateProfile(
{
name: 'Hazim',
age: 24,
mode: 'Rampage'
}
)
}).catch((error) => {
//Error value
})
and inside any component, you can get current user info with connect function like this.
class Home extends Component {
}
export default compose(
firebaseConnect(),
connect( state => {
profile: state.firebase.profile
})
)(Home)
I am trying to add a referral system to my project, so currently I am basing it off of this package. The issue I am running into is my project only uses accounts-google and not accounts-password. The way this package works is it adds the iron router query parameters for the referrerCode (/register?r=ReferralCodeHere)through a preSignUpHook. I believe this only works with accounts-password wont work when creating an account with an API such as accounts-google.
My idea around this is to use a Meteor.users.before.insert hook to grab the iron router query parameters and insert them into my referrerCode field in Meteor.users since I'm already using Meteor Collection Hooks for a couple of other things.
The issue is I havent been able to find a way to get the query parameters on the server, I was hoping to do something like this:
Meteor.users.before.insert(function(userId, doc) {
doc.referrerCode = Referrer._referrerCode; // Link 1
});
(Link 1)
But this will just come up as undefined.
If I'm at my register page and it has a query like this for example: example.com/register?r=12345 Then I run Router.current().params.query.r on the client it returns 12345. Basically I just need to have that saved to the referralCode field in Meteor.users when a new user creates an account, if a referral code exists in the register URL.
I'm a bit lost with this one. I thought about setting it as a Session variable and then getting that in the before.insert hook, but that again only works on the client side. I'm thinking a meteor method might be best for this, but I'm not exactly sure how I would structure it. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Put the referral token into profile
Use that in your hook
Below I've copied some code that I've used before. It is built around an Invitations collection that tracks who invited who:
client:
var profile = {};
... any other profile settings you've captured
if ( token ) profile.referralToken = token;
Accounts.createUser({ email: email, password: password, profile: profile }, function(err){ ...})
hook:
if ( options.profile.referralToken ){ // referral case
var invitation = Invitations.findOne({ token: options.profile.referralToken });
if ( invitation )
user.invitationId = invitation._id; // the invitation used
user.invitedBy = invitation.userId; // the referring user
}
delete options.profile.referralToken;
}
return user;
