This template provides a robust starting point for building full-stack Flask applications with authentication and authorization capabilities powered by Google Firebase and Firestore. Designed to streamline the development process, this template includes pre-built functionalities such as user authentication (login, signup, password reset), session management, and CSRF protection, all optimized for mobile viewing.

• Firebase Authentication Integration: Supports login, signup, and forgot password functionalities.
• Firestore Database Integration: Easy setup to start using Firestore as your application database.
• Secure Cookie Handling: Client-side and server-side setup for secure cookie management.
• Page Authorization: Middleware setup for page-specific authorization to protect routes.
• Responsive Design: A basic responsive navbar and optimized interfaces for mobile and desktop viewing.
• Pre-built Pages: Pre-configured pages for authentication processes including login, signup, and password recovery.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8 or later
• pip (Python package installer)

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

git clone https://github.com/adjdunn/simple_firebase_app cd flask-firebase-auth-template

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Create Firebase account (https://firebase.google.com/)
• Go to the Firebase Console.
• Add a new project.
• Add web app to project.
• Go to "Project Settings" > Scroll to "SDK setup and configuration" > Select "Config" radio button and copy "firebaseConfig" data.
• Paste "firebaseConfig" data into firebase-config.js file.
• Paste "firebaseConfig" data into firebase-config.py file (adjust format to make it a valid python dict).
• Navigate to the "Firestore Database" section and create your database.
• Go to "Project Settings" > "Service accounts" > "Firebase Admin SDK" > Python option and click on the "Generate new private key" button Download the JSON file.
• Place the downloaded JSON file in your project directory and rename it to firebase_auth.json.
• Navigate to the "Authentication" section > click "Sign-in Method" and enable sign-in for Email/Password and Google options.
• Inside the "Autentication" section > click "Settings" > "Authorized Domains" and add your website domain to allow it to use the Google sign in (localhost is authorized by default).

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add the following environment variables:

SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here

python app.py

This will start the Flask application on http://localhost:5000 by default.
