Authentication Event Types
onAuthStateChanged
- The onAuthStateChanged event type is triggered whenever the user’s authentication state changes, such as when the user signs in, signs out or the current user changes.
- This event is useful for managing user sessions and providing personalized user experiences based on their authentication state.
Example: Listening for onAuthStateChanged Changes
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function(user) {
if (user) {
console.log("User is signed in:", user);
} else {
console.log("User is signed out");
}
});
Output
Executing the above code will continuously listen for changes to the authentication state and log whether the user is signed in or signed out
