I seem to be encountering an issue that I can't quite figure out. Despite my code running smoothly, I am unable to delete a document from Firestore. The document ID definitely exists within the database, and there are no subcollections attached to it (which I know can sometimes complicate deletions).
Below is the code snippet:
Delete Function
export const deletePost = (
docId: string,
community: string
): AppThunk => async (
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
dispatch
): Promise<void> => {
console.log(
await firebase.firestore().collection(community).doc(docId).get()
);
firebase
.firestore()
.collection(community)
.doc(docId)
.delete()
.then(() => {
console.log("Document successfully deleted!");
dispatch(
alertSuccess("post deleted, reverting to community page", "success")
);
dispatch(retrievePostsByCommunity(community));
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error("Error removing document: ", error);
});
dispatch({ type: DELETE_POST });
};
Firebase Rules (simple setup)
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write, update, delete: if
request.time < timestamp.date(2029, 12, 21);
}
}
}
