Introduction
How many times have you struggled with setting up security in your Spring Boot API? Well those days are over now that you can use the firebaseauth library to take care of that.
By following a simple set of steps you can have an API secured with Firebase in a matter of minutes! You won't have to deal with custom filters, exceptions or the Firebase SDK for that matter.
Why?
When I first started to develop APIs with Firebase I struggled on how to set it up within Spring Boot since the documentation available was a little obfuscted, with this library I hope to help anyone that may have the same problems that I had. The project's README file has all you need to do in order to have a working, secured Spring Boot API.
If you are interested I would gladly appreciate that you leave a star in the project's repo here:

If you need to protect your Spring Boot API with the help of Firebase quickly and stress-free then this is the library for you It will provide you with a simple yet powerful implementation to receive and decode a Firebase token and to put that information available in Spring's own security context.
