How do I get the current user's access token in AngularFire2?

Question

In AngularFire you were able to access the providers (e.g Google) accessToken for the authenticated user.

There does not seem to be a way to access this with AngularFire2?

On initial login say like this:

this.af.auth.subscribe(user=> {
  if (user) {
    console.log(user.google);
  }
});

It will log out the idToken, accessToken, provider, But (on a page refresh) subsequently will log out the standard details (uid, displayName etc....) And the accessToken is not an accessible property?

Is there a way to access the current users accessToken?

Answer 1

With AngularFire2, you can get the token like this :

this.af.auth.getToken() // returns a firebase.Promise<any>

If you want to get an ES6 Promise instead, just use

Promise.resolve()
  .then(() => this.af.auth.getToken() as Promise<string>)
