I am working on my first Web App using firebase and I have hit a problem I can't find the solution to. I am trying to delete a document by Id, The function works fine however the document is not deleted. I have set the Firestore rules to allow delete as well. However it's still not working. I'll leave the relevant code and rules here:
Code
function del(x){
console.log("Delete File : "+filesListID[x-1]);
console.log("File : "+fileList[x-1].fileno + " " +decrypt(fileList[x-1].fileno));
deleteDoc(doc(firestore,"property",filesListID[x])).then( function(){
var table = document.getElementById("userlist");
table.innerHTML = "";
userList();
alert("File Deleted Successfully");
}).catch((error) => {
console.log("Error Deleting Property List: "+error);
});
}
Rules
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write, delete: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
I can't figure out what's going wrong here, any suggestions will be helpful, Thanks!
I believe you want to delete filesListID [x-1] but inside deleteDoc() you have mentioned filesListID [x]. And at the top of that, before deleting, you could also check if filesListID [x-1] exists or not.
function del(x) {
console.log("Delete File : " + filesListID[x - 1]);
console.log("File : " + fileList[x - 1].fileno + " " + decrypt(fileList[x - 1].fileno));
deleteDoc(doc(firestore, "property", filesListID[x - 1])).then(function() {
var table = document.getElementById("userlist");
table.innerHTML = "";
userList();
alert("File Deleted Successfully");
}).catch((error) => {
console.log("Error Deleting Property List: " + error);
});
}
