Firebase Email Link Authentification with react-redux-firebase auth methods

[wissile]

I'm checking in reference to a post in June 2018 about creating a new authentication method: 'EmailAuthProvider' in react-redux-firebase for developers using Firebase with Email Link in JavaScript: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/email-link-auth

I'm wondering if it is still on the roadmap?
or is there any other alternative solutions to sync Firestore user auth data with the redux state?

I'm on a react-native and expo platform
Trying to implement react-redux-firebase to auth user and sync with the redux state

I'm sorry in advance if this has already been tackled but I have done a lot of research and couldn't find much about this topic.

Post reference:
That said, there have been recent changes in Firebase's v5 SDK that are starting to be handled with the pull request for v2.1.5. If the existing methods don't work for your use case it would be good for us to try to get something in there for EmailAuthProvider.

@wissile Syncing firestore user data with redux state can be done with the following config:

// react-redux-firebase config
const rrfConfig = {
  userProfile: 'users',
  useFirestoreForProfile: true // Firestore for Profile instead of Realtime DB
}

This is described in the firestore section of the react-redux-firebase docs - that said, I think I'm also going to add a section in the profile recipes so it is even easier to find.

As for "auth" data - that is separate from the databases all together and is written into state.firebase.auth regardless of which database you are using. Let me know if I am missing anything and we can reopen or create a new issue

@prescottprue Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
I have already configured the rrfConfig as you mentioned above and everything else according to your documentation. Perharps, I haven't formulated my question clearly:

1. How to log in users with firebase.login({params}) that are signed up with email link (passwordless) using the methods you have outlined in the auth section?

This one of your example:

firebase.login({
  email: 'test@test.com',
  password: 'testest1'
})

Using your example, the user does not have a password, or credential or accessToken since he signed up using email link firebase.auth().signInWithEmailLink(email, window.location.href) but this wouldn't work:

firebase.login({
  email: 'test@test.com',
  url: 'http://someurl.com' // should I add the auth url provided by firebase here?
})

2. Similarly, how to create users with createUser(credentials, profile) using email link (passwordless) auth?

const createNewUser = ({ email, password, username }) => {
  firebase.createUser( // should password be replaced by url?
    { email, password },
    { username, email }
  )
}

Sorry I'm coming back with this question but it is very critical for me to understand the best implementation with your package module as this is a huge help with the project I'm trying to build.
Thank you in advance for helping out :)
