So here is my solution to this exact problem. I am using Firebase, FirebaseAuthClient, and angularFire for my Angular app. I ran into the same situation for my login system where you cannot inject the $scope into the factory and therefore I came up with making a controller that used a factory for it’s methods to retrieve, add, update, and delete things. And in the controller, I have my firebaseAuth stuff going on, the setting of the User values, and references whick I assign to the scope of that. Once the user is logged in, they are redirected to another location, at which point the app.js file takes over with a child controller when at that address location.<\/p>\n
My login also uses localStorage, so logins will persist, you can refresh and not have to keep logging in, and you can change it to be cookies or sessionStorage easy enough.<\/p>\n
This is going to need to be adapted for your needs specifically if you choose to use this method, it’s quite complex no matter what, but this is very solid for me and I’m no longer needing to worry about firebaseAuth or angularFire stuff now that my factories are all setup for passing data back and forth. I’m just doing angularJS stuff mostly with directives. So here’s my code.<\/p>\n
NOTE: This will need modifying, and some things will be pseudo or open-ended for you to figure out for your needs.<\/em><\/p>\n AuthCtrl.js<\/strong><\/p>\n ]);<\/p>\n And now for the nice and simple yet quite reusable factory. You will need to set your Firebase path for your app for the baseUrl variable for it to work.<\/p>\n fireFactory.js<\/strong><\/p>\n ]);<\/p>\n Info<\/strong><\/p>\n You give the factory just a piece of the path reference such as ‘users’ which will be used as part of the full path ref to where you want to store your user data.<\/p>\n Once you have a reference set for a user, they won’t need to be set again it will just use the existing data and .auth() to it. Additionally if there’s an existing ‘token’ in localStorage it will use that to auth() the user too.<\/p>\n Otherwise, it will login() the user and pop open the Oauth windows for them to do so using whatever option you provide them.<\/p>\n I have spent a lot of time, many many hours days and yes even months searching for something better than this when it comes to Firebase\/FirebaseAuthClient and angularFire. With the way the Firebase API and FireAuth API is, it’s very annoying to make them play nicely with each other when using them with angularFire anyways. It’s very frustrating but I’ve gotten past it finally.<\/p>\n If you want to check out the code for my app and see how I’m doing these things more completely, you can find it in this branch of my Webernote github repo.<\/p>\n Feel free to fork it, install and run it locally, or contribute to it even if you like. I could use some help myself \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Hope this helps you!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So here is my solution to this exact problem.
