Note: There is a lot of information here, but if I have provided a link, it is probably something you should click on and read. OAuth is a complex enough subject on it's own, and hacking these two services together only adds to it.

Even so, I have found Firebase's API to be simpler than almost any other OAuth solution I have explored. When all is said and done, the important bits of code related to authentication is actually less than 10 lines. If you have ever tried to implement your own OAuth flow before, you know how amazing that is.

In the end, it may be worth using Firebase for authentication, even if that's the ONLY thing you use it for.

Why

Doing require extensions correctly is essential, because:

1. Users should be able to install multiple extensions in succession, and have them work together.
2. Coverage tools like nyc need it to reliably supply coverage information that takes into account sourcemaps from upstream transforms.
3. Because non-standard, un-predictable behavior causes hard to solve bugs, and major headaches for project maintainers.

What is a require extension anyways?

Q: How much faster is AVA than Mocha (tap, tape, ...).

A: It depends.

First things first:

I should start by saying there are lots of reasons to choose AVA, and I don't think speed is (necessarily) the most import one. Other good reasons include:

Between babel-plugin-espower#12 and ava#466 we are starting to see some pretty good performance compared to mocha:

I used emoji-aware for the benchmarks, it's a real life test suite with 4,300+ tests. It's a good candidate for benchmarking the efficiency of AVA's test Runner because:

1. All the tests are synchronous. AVA is at an incredible advantage when it comes to async tests. If your tests need to interact with the disk or network, then AVA is almost guaranteed to be faster - simply because it allows concurrent execution of tests.
2. 1 or 2 simple assertions per test. (The goal of this exercise was to measure test runner performance, not assertion libraries).
3. Multiple test files. This allows AVA to flex it's process forking muscle.
4. Lots of tests per file. Even with the multi-proces
