Migrating from AngularFire 1.x.x to 2.x.x

This migration document covers all the major breaking changes mentioned in the AngularFire 2.0.0 change log.

Note: If you're using Angular 2 this is not the guide for you! This is for upgrading AngularFire 1.x.x (for classic Angular) to AngularFire 2.x.x. See AngularFire 2 to use Firebase with Angular 2.

Upgrade to the Firebase 3.x.x SDK

Ensure you're using a 3.x.x version of the Firebase SDK in your project. Version 2.x.x of the Firebase SDK is no longer supported with AngularFire version 2.x.x.

SDK Version	AngularFire Version Supported
3.x.x	2.x.x
2.x.x	1.x.x

Consult the Firebase web / Node.js migration guide for details on how to upgrade to the Firebase 3.x.x SDK.

$firebaseAuth Method Renames / Signature Changes

The $firebaseAuth service now accepts an optional Firebase auth instance instead of a Firebase Database reference.

// Old
$firebaseAuth(ref);

// New
$firebaseAuth();
// Or if you need to explicitly provide an auth instance
$firebaseAuth(firebase.auth());

Several authentication methods have been renamed and / or have different method signatures:

Old Method	New Method	Notes
$authAnonymously(options)	$signInAnonymously()	No longer takes any arguments
$authWithPassword(credentials)	$signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
$authWithCustomToken(token)	$signInWithCustomToken(token)
$authWithOAuthPopup(provider[, options])	$signInWithPopup(provider)	options can be provided by passing a configured firebase.database.AuthProvider instead of a provider string
$authWithOAuthRedirect(provider[, options])	$signInWithRedirect(provider)	options can be provided by passing a configured firebase.database.AuthProvider instead of a provider string
$authWithOAuthToken(provider, token)	$signInWithCredential(credential)	Tokens must now be transformed into provider specific credentials. This is discussed more in the Firebase Authentication guide.
$createUser(credentials)	$createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
$removeUser(credentials)	$deleteUser()	Deletes the currently signed-in user
$changeEmail(credentials)	$updateEmail(newEmail)	Changes the email of the currently signed-in user
$changePassword(credentials)	$updatePassword(newPassword)	Changes the password of the currently signed-in user
$resetPassword(credentials)	$sendPasswordResetEmail(email)
$unauth()	$signOut()	Now returns a Promise
$onAuth(callback)	$onAuthStateChanged(callback)
$requireAuth()	$requireSignIn()
$waitForAuth()	$waitForSignIn()

Auth Payload Format Changes

Although all your promises and $getAuth() calls will continue to function, the auth payload will differ slightly. Ensure that your code is expecting the new payload that is documented in the Firebase Authentication guide.
