Additional features and improvements?

[nicolasgarnier]

Hey @THPubs !

I'm Nicolas and I work on the Firebase team.

I just noticed your middleware. It's nice work! :)

I was wondering if you would be willing to implement additional features? I was about to release a Firebase Middleware myself but we'd rather build on top of the community's work if it exists :)

Here is the improvements that would be awesome:

• Allowing The ID Token to be passed in Cookies too (rather than just auth headers).
• Configurable Cookies names.
• Requires the keyword Bearer in the Authentication header since that's more consistent with ID Token authentication specs.
• If no Service accounts file is passed then instantiate a Firebase admin instance using the default app credentials (available in Google Cloud Environment) automatically.
• Option to generate Custom auth tokens for the authenticated User.

I have implemented all these features in this file: https://github.com/nicolasgarnier/friendlypix-web-react/blob/master/microservices/firebase-express-middleware.js feel free to check it out!

Would you be willing to implement these or opened to contribution for me (I could send a Pull Request with this code)?

I'd like to use these in some blog post/article I will write up later on and in some official Firebase sample which is why I'm looking for all these features :)

Cheers!
