Realtime Database triggers with Cloud Functions for Firebase - source

Realtime Database triggers with Cloud Functions for Firebase - source

This gist contains the source code in my video series about Realtime Database triggers. You can watch the three parts here:

  1. Part 1 (intro, onCreate)
  2. Part 2 (onUpdate, infinite loops)
  3. Part 3 (onDelete, transactions)

index.ts contains the Cloud Functions code, and dialog.ts contains the script to run locally that simulates the addition of messages to the chat room.

import * as admin from 'firebase-admin'
const serviceAccount = require('../service-account.json')
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: `https://${serviceAccount.project_id}.firebaseio.com`
})
;(async () => {
await chat('pizzachat', 'Fear', "What the heck is that?!")
await chat('pizzachat', 'Joy', "Who puts broccoli on pizza?!")
await chat('pizzachat', 'Disgust', "That's it. I'm done.")
await chat('pizzachat', 'Anger', "Congratulations, San Francisco! You've ruined pizza!")
process.exit(0)
})()
.catch(err => { console.error(err) })
async function chat(room: string, name: string, text: string) {
const messagesRef = admin.database().ref('rooms').child(room).child('messages')
await messagesRef.push({ name, text })
console.log(`${name}: ${text}`)
await sleep(1500)
}
function sleep(ms: number) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
import * as functions from 'firebase-functions'
export const onMessageCreate = functions.database
.ref('/rooms/{roomId}/messages/{messageId}')
.onCreate(async (snapshot, context) => {
const roomId = context.params.roomId
const messageId = context.params.messageId
console.log(`New message ${messageId} in room ${roomId}`)
const messageData = snapshot.val()
const text = addPizzazz(messageData.text)
await snapshot.ref.update({ text: text })
const countRef = snapshot.ref.parent.parent.child('messageCount')
return countRef.transaction(count => {
return count + 1
})
})
export const onMessageDelete = functions.database
.ref('/rooms/{roomId}/messages/{messageId}')
.onDelete(async (snapshot, context) => {
const countRef = snapshot.ref.parent.parent.child('messageCount')
return countRef.transaction(count => {
return count - 1
})
})
function addPizzazz(text: string): string {
return text.replace(/\bpizza\b/g, '🍕')
}
export const onMessageUpdate = functions.database
.ref('/rooms/{roomId}/messages/{messageId}')
.onUpdate((change, context) => {
const before = change.before.val()
const after = change.after.val()
if (before.text === after.text) {
console.log("Text didn't change")
return null
}
const text = addPizzazz(after.text)
const timeEdited = Date.now()
return change.after.ref.update({ text, timeEdited })
})

Hello,

I was following your instructions in the youtube video. But when using change.after.val() - I am getting error: - Object is possibly 'undefined'.ts(2532) (parameter) change: functions.Change<functions.database.DataSnapshot>

Could you please look into it and let me know what was the issue.

Thanks
Shaun
