# 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 3 `httpauth` and external Firebase SDK)
**Module:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth-firebase`
**Direct imports:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth`, `firebase.google.com/go/v4/auth`
**Transitive:** `code.nochebuena.dev/go/rbac` (indirect, pulled in by `httpauth`)
`httpauth-firebase` does not import `logz`, `httpmw`, or `httputil`. It has no
logger parameter — errors are returned as HTTP responses, not logged here.
`EnrichmentMiddleware`, `AuthzMiddleware`, `IdentityEnricher`, `WithTenantHeader`,
`Cache`, and permission providers all live in `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth`.
This module only provides `AuthMiddleware` and the `TokenVerifier` interface.
## 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-jwt`, etc.). All converge on `rbac.Identity` via the shared `httpauth`
contract. The `TokenVerifier` interface is retained for unit-test mockability only.
- **Integration contract via `httpauth.SetTokenData`**: `AuthMiddleware` stores
`uid` and `claims` using `httpauth.SetTokenData`, which writes to context keys
owned by the `httpauth` package. `EnrichmentMiddleware` (from `httpauth`) reads
them. This is the explicit integration point between provider-specific and
provider-agnostic middleware.
- **Single responsibility**: This module only verifies Firebase tokens. Identity
enrichment, RBAC, and caching all live in `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth`.
## Patterns
**Full stack (most routes):**
```go
import (
httpauth "code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth-firebase"
httpauthmw "code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth"
)
r.Use(httpauth.AuthMiddleware(firebaseAuthClient, []string{"/health", "/metrics/*"}))
r.Use(httpauthmw.EnrichmentMiddleware(userEnricher, httpauthmw.WithTenantHeader("X-Tenant-ID")))
// Per-route RBAC:
r.With(httpauthmw.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.DisplayName, 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 (defined in httpauth, not here):**
```go
// httpauthmw.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), 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 in context by `httpauth.SetTokenData` under keys owned by the
`httpauth` package. 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` (from `httpauth`)
and passed to `Enrich` — the enricher is the correct place to resolve identity.
- 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.
- Do not redefine `IdentityEnricher`, `Cache`, or permission providers here. They
live in `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth`.
## Testing Notes
- `compliance_test.go` verifies at compile time that `*mockVerifier` satisfies
`TokenVerifier`. Interface checks for `IdentityEnricher`, `Cache`, and permission
providers live in `code.nochebuena.dev/go/httpauth`'s own compliance test.
- `AuthMiddleware` can be tested by injecting a `mockVerifier` that returns a
controlled `*auth.Token`. No real Firebase project is needed.
- `EnrichmentMiddleware` and `AuthzMiddleware` tests belong in the `httpauth` module,
not here.
- Use `httptest.NewRecorder()` and `httptest.NewRequest()` for all HTTP-level tests.
