# httpauth-firebase
Firebase-backed HTTP middleware for authentication, identity enrichment, and
role-based access control.
## Purpose
`httpauth-firebase` provides three composable `net/http` middleware functions that
implement the full auth stack: JWT verification via Firebase, app-specific identity
enrichment via a caller-supplied `IdentityEnricher`, and permission enforcement via
`rbac`. The output contract is always `rbac.Identity` — downstream code and business
logic are decoupled from Firebase types entirely.
## Tier & Dependencies
**Tier:** 4 (transport auth layer; depends on Tier 0 `rbac` and external Firebase SDK)
**Module:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth-firebase`
**Direct imports:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/rbac`, `firebase.google.com/go/v4/auth`
`httpauth-firebase` does not import `logz`, `httpmw`, or `httputil`. It has no
logger parameter — errors are returned as HTTP responses, not logged here.
## Key Design Decisions
- **Provider-specific naming** (ADR-001): The module is named `httpauth-firebase`
because it imports Firebase directly. Other providers live in sibling modules
(`httpauth-auth0`, etc.). All converge on `rbac.Identity`. The `TokenVerifier`
interface is retained for unit-test mockability only.
- **rbac.Identity as output contract** (ADR-002): `EnrichmentMiddleware` stores the
final identity with `rbac.SetInContext`; `AuthzMiddleware` reads it with
`rbac.FromContext`. Downstream handlers only need to import `rbac`. Global ADR-003
applies: `rbac` owns its context helpers.
- **Composable three-middleware stack** (ADR-003): `AuthMiddleware`,
`EnrichmentMiddleware`, and `AuthzMiddleware` are separate functions. Each can be
applied independently; each returns 401 if its upstream dependency is missing from
context.
## Patterns
**Full stack (most routes):**
```go
r.Use(httpauth.AuthMiddleware(firebaseAuthClient, []string{"/health", "/metrics/*"}))
r.Use(httpauth.EnrichmentMiddleware(userEnricher, httpauth.WithTenantHeader("X-Tenant-ID")))
// Per-route RBAC:
r.With(httpauth.AuthzMiddleware(permProvider, "orders", rbac.Write)).
Post("/orders", httputil.Handle(v, svc.CreateOrder))
```
**Token-only (webhook verification):**
```go
r.Use(httpauth.AuthMiddleware(firebaseAuthClient, nil))
// No enrichment, no authz — just verify the token is valid
```
**Reading identity in a handler:**
```go
identity, ok := rbac.FromContext(r.Context())
if !ok {
// should not happen if EnrichmentMiddleware is in the chain
}
fmt.Println(identity.UID, identity.Role, identity.TenantID)
```
**Public paths (bypass token check):**
```go
// path.Match patterns — supports * wildcard
publicPaths := []string{"/health", "/ready", "/metrics/*"}
r.Use(httpauth.AuthMiddleware(firebaseAuthClient, publicPaths))
```
**Interfaces the application must implement:**
```go
// IdentityEnricher: called by EnrichmentMiddleware
type MyEnricher struct{ db *sql.DB }
func (e *MyEnricher) Enrich(ctx context.Context, uid string, claims map[string]any) (rbac.Identity, error) {
user, err := e.db.LookupUser(ctx, uid)
if err != nil { return rbac.Identity{}, err }
return rbac.NewIdentity(uid, user.DisplayName, user.Email).WithRole(user.Role), nil
}
// PermissionProvider: called by AuthzMiddleware
type MyPermProvider struct{}
func (p *MyPermProvider) ResolveMask(ctx context.Context, uid, resource string) (rbac.PermissionMask, error) {
return rbac.ReadWrite, nil
}
```
## What to Avoid
- Do not use `AuthMiddleware` alone and assume the request is fully authorised.
Token verification only confirms the token is valid; it does not enforce
application-level roles or permissions.
- Do not put `AuthzMiddleware` before `EnrichmentMiddleware` in the chain.
`AuthzMiddleware` reads `rbac.Identity` from context; if enrichment has not run,
it will return 401.
- Do not read `firebase.Token` fields directly in business logic. The token UID and
claims are stored under unexported context keys and are not part of the public API.
Use `rbac.FromContext` to read the enriched identity.
- Do not store application-specific data in Firebase custom claims and bypass the
`IdentityEnricher`. Claims are read by `EnrichmentMiddleware` and passed to
`Enrich`, but the enricher is the correct place to resolve application identity —
not raw Firebase claims spread across handlers.
- Do not import `httpauth-firebase` from service or domain layers. It is a transport
package. Dependency should flow inward: handler → service, never service →
handler/middleware.
## Testing Notes
- `compliance_test.go` verifies at compile time that `*mockVerifier` satisfies
`TokenVerifier`, `*mockEnricher` satisfies `IdentityEnricher`, and `*mockProvider`
satisfies `PermissionProvider`.
- `AuthMiddleware` can be tested by injecting a `mockVerifier` that returns a
controlled `*auth.Token`. No real Firebase project is needed.
- `EnrichmentMiddleware` can be tested by pre-populating the request context with
`uid` via an upstream `AuthMiddleware` using a mock verifier.
- `AuthzMiddleware` can be tested by pre-populating the request context with an
`rbac.Identity` via `rbac.SetInContext` — no auth or enrichment middleware needed.
- Use `httptest.NewRecorder()` and `httptest.NewRequest()` for all HTTP-level tests.
