I am trying to delete a document from firebase firestore collection how can I do that , I tried few things but no success here is my code
here is the Firestore hook
const useFirestore = (somecollection) => {
const [docs, setDocs] = useState([]);
useEffect (() => {
// new collection reference
const newcoll = collection(projectFirestore, somecollection);
const q = query(newcoll, orderBy('createdAt', 'desc'));
const unsub = onSnapshot(q, (snapshot) => {
let documents = [];
snapshot.forEach(doc => {
documents.push({...doc.data(), id: doc.id})
})
setDocs(documents);
});
return () => unsub;
},[somecollection]);
return { docs };
}
the imagegrid where all the images are shown (only the js without the jsx return)
const { docs } = useFirestore('images');
const handleDelete = (e) => {
docs.forEach(doc => {
deleteDoc(doc);
})
now , on the imagegrid jsx I have all the uploaded images that store the document in them.
so I added a button to every image and I want that when I click the button its fires a handleDelete() that delete this specific image document from the firestore
CodePudding user response:
If you are trying to have a button that deletes a single document, you likely do NOT want to be looping over all of the docs and calling deleteDoc()
.
Instead, your UI would likely display each image and include its ID for each button. Something like:
const deleteOneImageDoc = async (docId) => {
try {
let docRef = doc(`images/${docId}`);
await deleteDoc(docRef);
} catch (ex) {
console.error(`Delete FAILED: ${ex.message}`);
throw ex;
}
};
return <div>
docs.map((imgDoc) => {
return (
<div key={imgDoc.id}>
<img src={imgDoc.url}/>
<button onClick={() => deleteOneImageDoc(imgDoc.id)}>
delete {imgDoc.id}
</button>
</div>);
})
</div>;
