How can I delete an image's file from the server using Parse Cloud Code. I am using back4app.com
I am getting the images urls, then calling a function to delete the image using its url
Parse.Cloud.afterDelete("Image", function(request) {
// get urls
var imageUrl = request.object.get("image").url();
var thumbUrl = request.object.get("thumb").url();
if(imageUrl!=null){
//delete
deleteFile(imageUrl);
}
if(thumbUrl!=null){
//delete
deleteFile(thumbUrl);
}
});
function deleteFile(url){
Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
url: url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/")+1),
method: 'DELETE',
headers: {
'X-Parse-Application-Id': 'xxx',
'X-Parse-Master-Key': 'xxx'
}
}).then(function(httpResponse) {
console.log(httpResponse.text);
}, function(httpResponse) {
console.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
});
}
for security reasons, not is posible to delete directly the image from Back4App, using DELETE from SDK or REST API. I believe that you can follow the guide below:
