Create a Firebase using the REST API

问题:

Is it possible to create new email/password users in Firebase using the REST API?

回答1:

I'm just getting started with Firebase myself. However, couldn't you just use the JavaScrip API to create a new user (https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/api/firebase/createuser.html)? If you fire this each time a user logs into your application, you will migrate your users over and also have the advantage that users won't need to change their password.

Creating users from the server:

You can use the official JavaScript library in Node.js, which will let you create users on the server (in JavaScript at least).

Try:

➤ npm install firebase

And then use it as you would in the browser according to the official documentation. The following straight from the docs:

var Firebase = require('firebase');

var ref = new Firebase("https://<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>.firebaseio.com");
ref.createUser({
  email: "[e-mail]",
  password: "correcthorsebatterystaple"
}, function(error, userData) {
  if (error) {
    switch (error.code) {
      case "EMAIL_TAKEN":
        console.log("The new user account cannot be created because the email is already in use.");
        break;
      case "INVALID_EMAIL":
        console.log("The specified email is not a valid email.");
        break;
      default:
        console.log("Error creating user:", error);
    }
  } else {
    console.log("Successfully created user account with uid:", userData.uid);
  }
});
