Hey @barisatamer,

I hope all is well. As Vapor 4 is new and I am coming from a NodeJS/Go background, I spent the better part of a day figuring out how to get basic Firebase authentication working. After reading through the source code of this package, I was able to isolate my user authentication needs with the following implementation:

struct User: Authenticatable {
    var name: String
}

struct FirebaseJWTAuthenticator: RequestAuthenticator {
    func authenticate(request: Request) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> {
        return request.firebaseJwt.verify().flatMap { (payload) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> in
            request.auth.login(User(name: payload.userID))
            return request.eventLoop.makeSucceededFuture(())
        }
    }
}

Note its similarity to your packages:

open class FirebaseJWTMiddleware: Middleware {
    
    public init() {}
    
    public func respond(to request: Request, chainingTo next: Responder) -> EventLoopFuture<Response> {
        request.firebaseJwt.verify().transform(to: next.respond(to: request))
    }
}

As I was able to register the User as Authenticatable, I was able to guard a group of routes as follows and utilize the user's information in a controller:

app.group(FirebaseJWTAuthenticator(), User.guardMiddleware()) { app in
  app.get("helloworld") { (req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<User> in
    let user = try req.auth.require(User.self)
    return req.eventLoop.makeSucceededFuture(user)
  }
}

Is this worth documenting to clarify the scope of this package in-relationship to other authentication considerations (injecting a user)? This could improve the developer experience as it would have helped me hours ago! ☺️

I found this package, and want to use it in my Vapor project. Unfortunately it can't be added to Package.swift, because I use the new JWT "5.0.0-beta.2" and JWTKit "5.0.0-beta.2.1". I tried to see if I could translate the project myself, but that turned out to be over my head. Is it possible that you could update the package?
