📋 Issue Description
Problem Statement
Currently, AuthKit only supports Google OAuth for social authentication. While Google OAuth is excellent for simple authentication, many developers want the flexibility to choose between:
- Google OAuth - Lightweight, focused authentication
- Firebase Auth - Full-featured auth with additional Firebase ecosystem benefits
This limitation forces developers to choose between AuthKit's simplicity or Firebase's comprehensive auth features.
Proposed Solution
Implement a provider selection system that allows users to choose between Google OAuth and Firebase Auth during setup, with:
- Configuration-time provider selection
- Seamless switching between providers
- Unified API regardless of backend provider
- Migration tools for existing installations
🎯 Use Cases & Benefits
When to Choose Google OAuth
- ✅ Simple auth needs - Just need user login/signup
- ✅ Minimal dependencies - No Firebase SDK overhead
- ✅ Fast setup - Quick configuration
- ✅ Cost-effective - No Firebase billing complexity
- ✅ Lightweight - Smaller bundle size
When to Choose Firebase Auth
- ✅ Firebase ecosystem - Already using Firestore, Storage, etc.
- ✅ Advanced features - Phone auth, anonymous auth, custom claims
- ✅ Real-time features - Firebase real-time database integration
- ✅ Analytics - Built-in user analytics and insights
- ✅ Scalability - Firebase's global infrastructure
- ✅ Enterprise features - SAML, multi-tenancy, custom domains
Business Value
- 📈 Broader adoption - Appeal to both simple and complex use cases
- 🎯 Market positioning - "One auth system, multiple backends"
- 🚀 Competitive advantage - More flexible than competitors
- 👥 User choice - Let developers pick what fits their stack
