I have updated the question as found the root cause of the issue.
As I have hosted my React SSR app which uses firebase database in the client serving by one of the cloud function named app
throwing an error of Error: FIREBASE FATAL ERROR: Database initialized multiple times. Please make sure the format of the database URL matches with each database() call.
. When I comment out one by one and deploy, works perfectly. But when I deploy together doesn't work. How do I separate these two keeping both at the same repo?
ORIGINAL Question: Why firebase cloud function throwing an error of 'The default Firebase app does not exist.'?
So I am trying out firebase function for the first time. admin.messaging() throwing me the following error. Help me figure out why?
If I look at the console I get results till console.log('deviceToken', deviceToken);
so whats wrong in const messageDone = await admin.messaging().sendToDevice(deviceToken, payload);
?
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
exports.updateUnreadCount = functions.database.ref('/chats/{chatId}/{messageId}')
.onCreate(async(snap, context) => {
const appOptions = JSON.parse(process.env.FIREBASE_CONFIG);
appOptions.databaseAuthVariableOverride = context.auth;
const adminApp = admin.initializeApp(appOptions, 'app');
const { message, senderId, receiverUid } = snap.val();
console.log(message, senderId, receiverUid);
console.log('------------------------');
const deleteApp = () => adminApp.delete().catch(() => null);
try {
const db = adminApp.database();
const reciverUserRef = await db.ref(`users/${receiverUid}/contacts/${senderId}/`);
console.log('reciverUserRef', reciverUserRef);
const deviceTokenSnapshot = await reciverUserRef.child('deviceToken').once('value');
const deviceToken = await deviceTokenSnapshot.val();
console.log('deviceToken', deviceToken);
const payload = {
notification: {
title: 'Test Notification Title',
body: message,
sound: 'default',
badge: '1'
}
};
const messageDone = await admin.messaging().sendToDevice(deviceToken, payload);
console.log('Successfully sent message: ', JSON.stringify(messageDone));
return deleteApp().then(() => res);
} catch (err) {
console.log('error', err);
return deleteApp().then(() => Promise.reject(err));
}
});
Update1: According to this https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/send-message#send_to_a_topic, admin.messaging().sendToDevice(deviceToken, payload)
APIs are only available in the Admin Node.js SDK?
So switched to
const payload = {
data: {
title: 'Test Notification Title',
body: message,
sound: 'default',
badge: '1'
},
token: deviceToken
};
const messageDone = await admin.messaging().send(payload);
Which is not working either. Getting an error Error: The default Firebase app does not exist. Make sure you call initializeApp() before using any of the Firebase services.
Any lead will be helpful.
EDIT: Finally got the function working. My index.js is exporting to functions, follwoing
exports.app = functions.https.onRequest(app); //React SSR
exports.updateChat = functions.database.ref('/chats/{chatId}/{messageId}').onCreate(updateChat);
exports.app
is a react ssr function, which I am using to host my site. This uses database too. and throwing error of multiple database instance
.
When I comment out one by one and deploy, works perfectly. But when I deploy together doesn't work. How do I separate these two keeping both at the same repo? Any suggestions, please?
You can initialise db outside export function.
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const adminApp = admin.initializeApp(appOptions, 'app')
//continue code
Update:
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const adminApp = admin.initializeApp(options);
async function initialize(options, apps = 'app') {
try {
const defaultApp = adminApp.name
if(defaultApp) {
const adminApp1 = admin.initializeApp(apps);
}else {
const adminApp1 = admin.initializeApp(options, apps);
}
}catch(err) {
console.error(err);
}
}
Modify this snippet as per your need and try it out
It abstracts initialize of app in another function. Just call this function at appropriate place in your code.
