I've searched all over the internet but I'm unable to delete a file from storage using refFromURL in firebase v9. I tried using firebase.storage().refFromURL(url) to fetch the path but its states that firebase.storage is not a function. Is their any work around in firebase v9?
const deleteGalleryImage = (attachment, index) => {
// console.log(getRefFromURL(attachment));
let pictureRef = firebase.storage().refFromURL(attachment);
pictureRef
.delete()
.then(() => {
setAttachments(attachments.filter((image) => image !== attachment));
})
.catch((error) => console.log(error));
}
If you're using v9 then you can't use the namespace refFromUrl method anymore. The equivalent operation is now built into the top-level ref function.
So to get a ref from a URL, you'd do something like:
import { getStorage, ref } from "firebase/storage";
const storage = getStorage();
const storageRef = ref(storage, "your URL here");
