I'm working with Notifications but the Notification is not working and getting this error, I am new to this so i can't fully understand this and getting tilted by the error. Any help would be appreciated, I don't find any related solutions about this
ReferenceError: event is not defined

and Here is my index.js
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
exports.sendNotification =
functions.database.ref('/notifications/{user_id}/{notification_id}')
.onWrite((change, context) => {
const user_id = event.params.user_id;
const notification = event.params.notification;
console.log('We have a notification to send to: ', user_id);
if(!event.data.val())
{
return console.log('A Notification has been deleted from database: ', notification_id);
}
const fromUser = admin.database().ref(`/notifications/${user_id}/${notification_id}`);
return fromUser.then(fromUserResult => {
const from_user_id = fromUserResult.val().from;
console.log('You have new Notification from: ', from_user_id);
const userQuery = admin.database().ref(`Users/${from_user_id}/name`).once('value');
const deviceToken = admin.database().ref(`/Users/${user_id}/device_token`).once('value');
return Promise.all([userQuery, deviceToken]).then(result => {
const userName = result[0].val();
const token_id = result[1].val();
const payload = {
notification: {
title: "Message Request",
body: `${userName} has sent you a Message Request`,
icon: "logo.png",
click_action: "com.example.gab.quadrantms_TARGET_NOTIFICATION"
},
data : {
from_user_id : from_user_id
}
};
return admin.messaging().sendtoDevice(token_id, payload).then(response =>{
console.log('This was the Notification Feature');
return true;
});
});
});
});
Just as the error says, event
isn't defined anywhere. It looks like you should be using context
instead.
const user_id = context.params.user_id;
const notification = context.params.notification;
