Login with Google Auth

[fabiobeoni]

Hello adasq,
thanks for this module, really nice and interesting.

I'm wondering if it is possible to skip login with password if the user is already logged with Google Auth.

Thanks, cheers.

You can always pass cookies string instead of email/password pair.

Hi,

using alerts.configure({cookies:xxxxxx}) I get a JSON parsing error into api.js file:

function parseCookies(cookies) {
    const str = new Buffer(cookies, 'base64').toString('ascii');
    return JSON.parse(str);  **<===== PARSE ERROR HERE**
}

The cookie is generated by Firebase Admin SDK (since I use Firebase with Google Auth to login users), as described here.

alerts.configure({cookies:xxxxxx}) requires cookie generated from the lib, retrived using alerts.generateCookies. You can not pass there any other cookies, including side services such as Firebase.

Unfortunately there is no other way to authenticate.
