Firebaseui-web: [Feature Request] Support Email Link auth

[Tsuki]

Please support using sendSignInLinkToEmail authentication

[bojeil-google]

Thank you for your request, @Tsuki. This is definitely a feature we need to support.

Any updates on when this will be supported?

[bojeil-google]

Hey @lanman2000, we don't have a specific date but this is on our roadmap. We have had some urgent features to release dealing with privacy policies and terms of service. We also have some features that were requested by developers in our pipeline that we are wrapping up.

[sean-m-oleary]

No worries. Could you ballpark it? 2018? 2019?

We would definitely like to support it this year.

Is this feature imminent?

[bojeil-google]

It should be coming soon. We are trying to align FirebaseUI Android, iOS and web on this.

@bojeil-google I see that the recently released version 3.5 has support for email links but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've spun up the demo locally (as the demo site is not updated with 3.5) and hooked it up to an account of mine and all methods work other than email link which gets suck at a blank page with no message and no email sent either:

I directly compare this on the same project to calling firebase.auth.sendSignInLinkToEmail() which works well.

I made sure to add the emailLinkSignIn function in the configuration but it doesn't seem to get called.

Thanks

@salmoro Can you post the error you've seen in console? Also, make sure to import the latest css files since we've added new UI for email link sign in flow.

[salmoro]

@wti806 That's the thing, there are no errors. CSS is latest. In my project it's from 3.5 and also for the demo I've run it was a clone from the current master and just npm i && npm run demo.

[salmoro]

After I enter the email and click next the firebase-container just empties out:

[wti806]

It's weird. I just tried to clone the repo and run the demo and it works fine for me. Did you change the code in demo directory by any chance?

[salmoro]

No I have not.

[wti806]

Could you please post the index.html file in the demo app here?

[salmoro]

See this zip. I can't find a better way to post it.

[salmoro]

I think I found the issue

[wti806]

For now, please use the gstatic version of firebaseUI. We need to fix the issue with CDN and npm.

[wti806]

V3.5.1 has been released which includes the fix.

[salmoro]

That was quick.
Seems to have fixed some other things I didn't realized were missing (confirmation screen after email-link send).
@wti806 Thanks for the fantastic support
