For Flutter plugins for other Firebase products, see [FlutterFire.md](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blob/master/FlutterFire.md).

*Note*: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. [Feedback](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pulls) are most welcome!

## Usage

### Configure the Google sign-in plugin
The Google Sign-in plugin is required to use the firebase_auth plugin. Follow the [Google sign-in plugin installation instructions](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/google_sign_in#pub-pkg-tab-installing).

### Import the firebase_auth plugin
To use the firebase_auth plugin, follow the [plugin installation instructions](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/firebase_auth#pub-pkg-tab-installing).

### Android integration

Enable the Google services by configuring the Gradle scripts as such.

1. Add the classpath to the `[project]/android/build.gradle` file.
```gradle
dependencies {
  // Example existing classpath
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
  // Add the google services classpath
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
}
```

2. Add the apply plugin to the `[project]/android/app/build.gradle` file.
```gradle
// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
```

*Note:* If this section is not completed you will get an error like this:
```
java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process [package name].
Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.
```

*Note:* When you are debugging on android, use a device or AVD with Google Play services.
Otherwise you will not be able to authenticate.

### Use the plugin

Add the following imports to your Dart code:
```dart
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
```

Initialize `GoogleSignIn` and `FirebaseAuth`:
```dart
final GoogleSignIn _googleSignIn = GoogleSignIn();
final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;
```

You can now use the Firebase `_auth` to authenticate in your Dart code, e.g.
```dart
Future<FirebaseUser> _handleSignIn() async {
  final GoogleSignInAccount googleUser = await _googleSignIn.signIn();
  final GoogleSignInAuthentication googleAuth = await googleUser.authentication;

  final AuthCredential credential = GoogleAuthProvider.getCredential(
    accessToken: googleAuth.accessToken,
    idToken: googleAuth.idToken,
  );

  final FirebaseUser user = await _auth.signInWithCredential(credential);
  print("signed in " + user.displayName);
  return user;
}
```

Then from the sign in button onPress, call the `_handleSignIn` method using a future
callback for both the `FirebaseUser` and possible exception.
```dart
_handleSignIn()
    .then((FirebaseUser user) => print(user))
    .catchError((e) => print(e));
```

### Register a user

```dart
final FirebaseUser user = await _auth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(
      email: 'an email',
      password: 'a password',
    );
```

### Supported Firebase authentication methods

* Google
* Email and Password
* Phone
* Anonymously
* GitHub
* Facebook
* Twitter

### Phone Auth

You can use Firebase Authentication to sign in a user by sending an SMS message to
the user's phone. The user signs in using a one-time code contained in the SMS message.

### After authentication

After a successful authentication, you will receive a `FirebaseUser` object. You can use this object to check if the email is verified, to update email, to send verification email and so on. See the [FirebaseUser](https://pub.dartlang.org/documentation/firebase_auth/latest/firebase_auth/FirebaseUser-class.html) API documentation for more details on the `FirebaseUser` object.


#### iOS setup

1. Enable Phone as a Sign-In method in the [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/authentication/providers)

  - When testing you can add test phone numbers and verification codes to the Firebase console.

1. [Enable App verification](https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ios/phone-auth#enable-app-verification)  

**Note:** App verification may use APNs, if using a simulator (where APNs does not work) or APNs is not setup on the
device you are using you must set the `URL Schemes` to the `REVERSE_CLIENT_ID` from the GoogleServices-Info.plist file.

#### Android setup

1. Enable Phone as a Sign-In method in the [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/authentication/providers)

  - When testing you can add test phone numbers and verification codes to the Firebase console.
