frbs

R wrapper for Firebase Authentication REST API.

Designed to be used on the backend of your R applications & APIs.

{frbs} enables you to integrate Firebase Authentication services seamlessly into your projects, allowing for user authentication, account management, and other authentication-related tasks.

Suitable if you need absolute full control on how you build & customize your login & registration process/pages, while still using Firebase Auth.
