08/15/2022, 7:12 AMHi! I have a question about the docs...
I have successfully (thanks to your help) been able to create Firebase sessions via SuperTokens. Now I want to ensure that I am properly handling signout and token refreshes as well.
I assume that I need to override some existing methods, for instance in the way that is shown on this page: https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/advanced-customizations/backend-functions-override/usage
That page has a link:
Copy code
See all the functions that can be overrided here: https://supertokens.com/docs/nodejs/modules/recipe_thirdpartyemailpassword.html#RecipeInterfacer

Yes.
So before seeing what to override, what do you want to do in those functions? Do you want to refresh the firebase token when the supertokens session is refreshed?
And in sign out, do you want to revoke the firebase token when sign out is called? Since firebase issues a JWT, how will that be revoked from Firebase's side exactly - do they have a function in the admin SDK for that?

Yes, precisely.

Yes, just like the token was created by the Firebase admin SDK, the token can also be revoked.

Copy code
ts
Session.init({
override: {
functions: (oI) => {
return {
...oI,
refreshSession: async function (input) {
let session = oI.refreshSession(input);
// TODO: update firebase token in session...
return session;
}
}
},
apis: (oI) => {
return {
...oI,
signOutPOST: async function (input) {
let session = await Session.getSession(input.options.req, input.options.res, input.userContext);
// TODO: revoke firebase session..
return oI.signOutPOST!(input);
}
}
}
}
})d
