firestoreDelete

Usage

You can use the firestoreDelete function to delete a document from a collection. The only required parameter is a function returning the path to the document you want to delete.

const deletePost = firestoreDelete('posts')

// Delete the document
const postId = 'post-id-1'
await deletePost(postId)

Return Value

The return value of firestoreDelete is a function that returns a Promise that resolves to void.

Recursion

When you delete a document, all subcollections are not automatically deleted. You can use the firestoreDelete function to delete a document and all of its subcollections.

// Recursively delete all subcollections
const deletePost = firestoreDelete('posts', { recursive: true })

const postId = 'post-id-1'
await deletePost(postId)

This can be useful if posts have comments and you want to delete all comments when a post is deleted.
