Need to mock Firebase Auth but unsure how












2















I use Firebase to manage authentication within my app. This has a singleton object for the logged in user: Auth.auth().currentUser



In part of my code I check that the uid of the logged in user is equal to a userId associated with an object.



I need to test code that uses this check. For this I need to be able to inject a mock Firebase Auth object.



How can I mock the Firebase Auth object? Has anyone had experience with this before?

  • Don't mind me asking - what are you trying to achieve with the mocking?
