Nuxt 3 Firebase error on SSR

I am trying to solve a firebase error that did not exist 2 days ago but now I am encountering it. As you can see from the image, I am getting this error when I am trying to use firebase when ssr:true. I was previously using custom plugins for firebase but the same error applies to vuefire and nuxt-vuefire. The only solution I have tried and worked so far is to disable ssr. How can I solve this error that did not exist 2 days ago?

Hi @Yazılım Panteri. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears that you're encountering a common issue with Firebase authentication in Nuxt 3 when using server-side rendering (SSR). This problem is related to the interaction between Firebase Auth and Nuxt's SSR capabilities. Let's explore some possible solutions and explanations:

VueFire Session Cookie Issue:The error you're experiencing might be related to the VueFire Session Cookie feature. As mentioned in [this Stack Overflow post](<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78466983>), enabling `sessionCookie: true` along with App Check can cause authentication errors on the server-side. You could try disabling the session cookie feature to see if it resolves the issue.
Firebase Browser API Key Restrictions:If you have set website restrictions for your Firebase Browser API Key, it can cause authentication errors on the server-side. The server doesn't send a referer header that matches the restricted domains, leading to blocked requests. You may need to adjust these restrictions or find a way to handle this server-side.
Temporary Workaround - Disabling SSR:As you've mentioned, disabling SSR (setting `ssr: false` in your `nuxt.config.ts`) works as a temporary solution. This is consistent with the nature of the problem, as it's related to server-side rendering of Firebase auth.
Using `<NuxtClientFallback>` Component:Nuxt provides an experimental feature called `<NuxtClientFallback>` that can help render content on the client if there's an error in SSR. You can enable this by adding the following to your `nuxt.config.ts`:

This might help you handle the Firebase auth errors more gracefully without completely disabling SSR.

Check for Recent Updates:Since you mentioned this error didn't exist two days ago, it's worth checking if there have been any recent updates to Nuxt, VueFire, or Firebase that might have introduced this issue. You may want to try rolling back to previous versions of these dependencies to see if it resolves the problem.
Investigate App Check and Session Cookie Interaction:If you're using both App Check and Session Cookie features, try disabling one or the other to see if it resolves the issue. There seems to be some interaction between these features that can cause authentication problems.

Given that this issue appeared suddenly, it's possible that a recent update or change in your project's configuration triggered this behavior. If none of the above solutions work, you may need to provide more detailed information about your setup, including your

nuxt.config.ts

nuxt.config.ts

, Firebase configuration, and any recent changes to your project.

Stack Overflow - Firebase Error and Stack Overflow - VueFire Session Cookie provide some additional context and potential solutions you might want to explore further.

@kapa.ai it's just happens when i create fresh nuxt project and add nuxt-vuefire module. i've tried to change node version or module version.

kapa.ai•1/26/25, 1:39 AM

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment!

----------------------
Based on your additional information, it seems that the issue occurs even with a fresh Nuxt project when adding the nuxt-vuefire module. This narrows down the problem to a potential compatibility issue or configuration problem with nuxt-vuefire. Let's explore some possible solutions:

Module Configuration:
Make sure you've properly configured the nuxt-vuefire module in your
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
file. According to the Stack Overflow post, you should have a configuration similar to this:

Firebase Configuration:Ensure that your Firebase configuration is correct and that you're using the appropriate API keys and project settings.
Node.js Version:Although you mentioned trying different Node versions, it's worth noting that Nuxt 3 recommends using Node.js version 16.10 or later. Make sure you're using a compatible version.
Dependency Versions:Check the compatibility between Nuxt, nuxt-vuefire, and Firebase versions. You might want to try using specific versions that are known to work together. For example:

Transpiling Libraries:
As mentioned in the Nuxt documentation, you might need to transpile certain libraries. Try adding the following to your
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
:

ESM Issues:
The error you're experiencing might be related to ES Module compatibility. The Nuxt documentation suggests that in some cases, you may need to manually alias the library to the CommonJS version:

Debug Mode:
Enable debug mode for nuxt-vuefire to get more detailed error messages:

If none of these solutions work, it would be helpful to see the exact error message you're receiving and any relevant parts of your configuration. The issue might be specific to the interaction between Nuxt 3, nuxt-vuefire, and your particular setup. Consider opening an issue on the nuxt-vuefire GitHub repository with a minimal reproduction of the problem if it persists.

----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, transpiling can indeed be a solution to some ESM-related issues in Nuxt 3, particularly when working with libraries like Firebase or nuxt-vuefire. Let's explore the transpiling option in more detail:

Transpiling libraries is a technique used to ensure compatibility between different module systems or to process code that may not be fully compatible with the current environment. In the context of Nuxt 3 and Firebase, transpiling can help resolve issues related to ES Modules (ESM) compatibility.

According to the Nuxt documentation on ES Modules, you can tell Nuxt to transpile specific libraries by adding them to the

build.transpile

build.transpile

array in your

nuxt.config.ts

nuxt.config.ts

file. Here's how you can do it:

This configuration tells Nuxt to process these libraries through its build pipeline, potentially resolving ESM-related issues.

Additionally, a similar solution was mentioned in a Stack Overflow post about a Leaflet-related issue in Nuxt. The solution there was to add the problematic libraries to the array:

In your case, since you're working with Firebase and nuxt-vuefire, you might want to try including these in your transpile configuration.

It's worth noting that transpiling should be used judiciously, as it can increase build times and bundle sizes. However, in cases where you're encountering ESM-related errors or compatibility issues, it can be an effective solution.

kapa.ai•1/26/25, 8:51 AM

If you haven't already tried this approach, I recommend adding the transpile configuration to your

nuxt.config.ts

nuxt.config.ts

file and see if it resolves the Firebase error you're experiencing with SSR enabled.
