Great and useful article. Out of curiosity why did you opt to use the asych/await instead of the following for the checkIfAuthenticated method? Do you see any issues with this alternative?
checkIfAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {
getAuthToken(req, res, () => {
try {
const { authToken } = req;
admin
.auth()
.verifyIdToken(authToken)
.then(userInfo => {
req.authId = userInfo.uid;
next();
})
} catch (e) {
return res
.status(401)
.send({ error: 'You are not authorized to make this request' });
}
});
};
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
