I followed this tutorial step by step https://ionicthemes.com/tutorials/about/ionic-facebook-login
The issue I’m having is that after the login, my app is not redirecting to the page I need it to. No error on the console when testing this on an emulated Pixel 2 device running Android 9 . Here’s the code for handling the authentication:
const permissions = ['public_profile', 'email'];
await this.facebook.login(permissions).then(response => {
this.uid = response.authResponse.userID;
this.facebook.api('/me?fields=name,email', permissions)
.then(user => {
user.picture = 'https://graph.facebook.com/' + userId +
'/picture?type=large';
this.dataService.getUser(this.uid).subscribe((data) => {
if (data.data() !== undefined) {
if (data.data().isNew) {
this.zone.run(() => {
this.router.navigate(['/profile']);
});
} else {
this.zone.run(() => {
this.router.navigate(['/home']);
});
}
} else {
this.dataService.addUser(....)}).then(() => {
this.zone.run(() => {
this.router.navigate(['/profile']);
});
}
});
});
I expect that after login success the app is redirected correctly using the router angular component.
Problem cause
I figured the problem was related to my Angular Fire Auth Observable:
this.afAuth.auth.onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
console.log('user state:', user);
if (user) {
this.fireUser = user;
this.deviceStorage.set('uid', user.uid);
this.dataService.userNewListener(user.uid);
} else {
this.deviceStorage.set('uid', '');
this.router.navigate(['/login']);
}
});
Since I'm using a native solution (facebook cordova plugin) that observable doesn't change, since it was redirecting me back to login.
Solution
The solution was that after I successfully perform the login using the plugin, I could use the response access token as a credential to proceed and sign in with it using AngularFire:
this.facebook.login(permissions).then(response => {
const facebookCredential = firebase.auth.FacebookAuthProvider.credential(response.authResponse.accessToken);
this.afAuth.auth.signInWithCredential(facebookCredential).then(() => {
console.log('navigating profile');
this.router.navigate(['/profile']);
});
});
I would start by unravelling the code.
Check the logs
You can use Chrome to see the output of whats happening and debug it:
Using Chrome DevTools - Android Development - Ionic Documentation
Put some logging in there
Put some console.logs in the code like:
if (data.data() !== undefined) {
if (data.data().isNew) {
this.zone.run(() => {
console.log("routing to profile");
this.router.navigate(['/profile']);
});
} else {
this.zone.run(() => {
console.log("routing to home");
this.router.navigate(['/home']);
});
}
} else {
this.dataService.addUser(....)}).then(() => {
this.zone.run(() => {
console.log("adduser - routing to profile");
this.router.navigate(['/profile']);
});
}
Does the tutorial itself work?
Strip out your Firebase dataService
calls and see if its getting to that point.
Do you need the zone?
I think this was something that was sprinkled into the code for the beta of Ionic4 but mostly it's been resolved. I don't fully understand what it is but maybe you are following an out of date Firebase tutorial.
