Storing Firebase accessToken in Pinia store - Vue3

Viewed 25

I'm fairly new to Vue and it's my first time using Pinia. I'm following this guide to set up Firebase, Pinia and Axios. The app I'm building uses FirebaseUI to sign a user in, via an email link - this all happens in the LoginPage component below:

(Please ignore all incorrectly types variables/functions - I'm just trying to get this working in the first place)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { onMounted } from "vue";
import { EmailAuthProvider } from "firebase/auth";
import { auth } from "firebaseui";
import { auth as firebaseAuth } from "../firebase/config";
import { useUserStore } from "../stores/user"

onMounted(async () => {
  const uiConfig: auth.Config = {
    signInSuccessUrl: "/",
    signInOptions: [
      {
        provider: EmailAuthProvider.PROVIDER_ID,
        signInMethod: EmailAuthProvider.EMAIL_LINK_SIGN_IN_METHOD,
        forceSameDevice: true,
      },
    ],
    callbacks: {
      signInSuccessWithAuthResult: function (authResult) {
        const store = useUserStore();
        store.user = authResult;
        return true;
      },
    },
  };
  const ui = new auth.AuthUI(firebaseAuth);
  ui.start("#firebaseui-auth-container", uiConfig);
});
</script>
<template>
  <div id="firebaseui-auth-container"></div>
</template>

When the user successfully signs in, the app updates the Pinia store user object, with the AuthResult return object from the signInSuccessWithAuthResult function. When debugger, I can see that the object being stored looks like the following:

{
    additionalUserInfo: {...}
    operationType: "signIn"
    user: {
        accessToken: "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1N..."
        auth: {...}
        displayName: null
        ...
    }
}

I.e. the accessToken is being stored. The user store is below:

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

export const useUserStore = defineStore("userStore", {
  state: () => ({
    user: null as any
  }),
  getters: {
    getUser(state) {
      return state.user
    }
  }
})

In the app I have set up an axios interceptor, that appends the accessToken to any Axios request made by the app:

axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  const userStore = useUserStore();
  
  if (userStore) {
    debugger;
    // accessToken is undefined
    config.headers.Authorization = 'Bearer ' + userStore.user.user.accessToken;
  }
  return config;
});

When attempting the retrieve the accessToken from the user store at this point, it's gone. Most (if not all) of the other properties from the user object still exist, but not the access token, therefore I'm pretty sure I'm using the store correctly:

{
    additionalUserInfo: {...}
    credential: null
    operationType: "signIn"
    user: {
        // accessToken is gone
        apiKey: "..."
        appName: "[DEFAULT]"
        email: "..."
        emailVerified: true
        ....
    }
}

Can anybody explain where I'm going wrong with this, and why the accessToken is being removed from the store? It looks to me as though I'm using the Pinia store correctly, and I'm pretty sure that the interceptor is also correct. However it's likely that I'm going about storing the access token in the wrong way. I'd appreciate any help/advice about how to setup Firebase authentication correctly with Vue.

Edited to include value of the user store when debugging inside the interceptor.

It looks like accessToken might be in userStore.user.user.accessToken?
