Tiny nodejs based tool to calculate some quick stats based on Firebase Auth.
Because I needed to figure out if my Facebook provider was still worth having in my project or if I could safely just wipe it by looking at the number of users that was registered with Facebook.
Firebase auth is amazing at removing the pain of authentication handling and securing logins. However, when it comes to providing data about who is registered, you need to add some effort yourself.
First, you need to download your auth data. This is most easily done using the firebase cli:
firebase --project <optional> auth:export users.json
Then you run this little tool to get the data out:
npm install -g firebase-provider-stats
firebase-provider-stats users.json
This tool is at the mercy of what data the firebase user export provides. This means, email and phone registrations cannot be easily detected as these simply get added as data to the user object rather than as providers.
In order to count the email and phone logins, the existance of these fields are compared. Email is registered for any provider that is added with email as well, so I consider it a user with email login only if no providers are given.
To install dependencies and run locally:
npm install
npm link
firebase-provider-stats <your-file>
And to test:
npm test
This will use the provided example testfile example.json
.
Publishing to NPM is done automatically by any tag.
- Update version in package.json
- Tag it with
git tag vx.x.x
andgit push origin vx.x.x
- Sit back and let it build
