I have a Cloud Function deployed to Firebase, and my iOS and Android apps use it fine, all works good. Below is the function deployed.
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const firebase_tools = require('firebase-tools');
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
admin.initializeApp();
exports.deleteUser = functions
.runWith({
timeoutSeconds: 540,
memory: '2GB'
})
.https.onCall((data, context) => {
const userId = context.auth.uid;
var promises = [];
// DELETE DATA
var paths = ['users/' + userId, 'messages/' + userId, 'chat/' + userId, 'like/' + userId];
paths.forEach((path) => {
promises.push(
recursiveDelete(path).then( () => {
return 'success';
}
).catch( (error) => {
console.log('Error deleting user data: ', error);
})
);
});
// DELETE FILES
const bucket = admin.storage().bucket();
var image_paths = ["avatar/" + userId, "avatar2/" + userId, "avatar3/" + userId];
image_paths.forEach((path) => {
promises.push(
bucket.file(path).delete().then( () => {
return 'success';
}
).catch( (error) => {
console.log('Error deleting user data: ', error);
})
);
});
// DELETE USER
promises.push(
admin.auth().deleteUser(userId)
.then( () => {
console.log('Successfully deleted user');
return true;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('Error deleting user:', error);
})
);
return Promise.all(promises).then(() => {
return true;
}).catch(er => {
console.error('...', er);
});
});
function recursiveDelete(path, context) {
return firebase_tools.firestore
.delete(path, {
project: process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT,
recursive: true,
yes: true,
token: functions.config().fb.token
})
.then(() => {
return {
path: path
}
}).catch( (error) => {
console.log('error: ', error);
return error;
});
}
// [END recursive_delete_function]
How can I execute this script with a button in javascript? A standard .js file locally? I also need to be able to pass in a userId manually.
In my react native app I call it like:
const deleteUser = async () => {
functions().httpsCallable('deleteUser')()
signOut();
}
But in my javascript file (nothing to do with my react native app), I need to pass in a userId and call that same function to delete the user.
There are a number of ways to go about executing a cloud function within your client side application.
Depending on how you have the function setup, you can either pass in a parameter or data via the body in the request.
For example, using express (similar to other frameworks):
// fetch(‘api.com/user/foo’, {method: ‘DELETE’} )
app.delete(‘/user/:uid’, (req, res) => {
const uid = req.params.uid;
// execute function
})
// fetch(‘api.com/user’, {method: ‘DELETE’, body: { uid: foo } } )
app.delete(‘/user’, (req, res) => {
const uid = req.body.uid;
// execute function
})
// fetch(‘api.com/user?uid=foo’, {method: ‘DELETE’} )
app.delete(‘/user’, (req, res) => {
const uid = req.query.uid;
// execute function
})
Full Example:
<button onclick=“deleteUser(uid)”>Delete Me</button>
<script>
function deleteUser(uid) {
fetch(`api.com/user/${uid}`, { method: ‘DELETE’});
// rest of function
}
</script>
Was able to call my firebase function with the following:
userId was accessible like so const { userId } = data; from my function script
async function deleteAccount(userId) {
const deleteUser = firebase.functions().httpsCallable("deleteUser");
deleteUser({ userId }).then((result) => {
console.log(result.data);
});
}
