How to create a button to delete a conversation?

[NikV]

What would be the best way to delete an individual chat with a user?

[freekrai]

You can trigger a delete using datamcflyRef.remove('id of document'); to make it work first, you'd have to query all threads that were part of that individual chat then remove it. So since we group the conversation by the initial fromNumber, you could do something like this:

datamcflyRef.where({'fromNumber':NUMBER}).on("value", function(snapshot) {
   snapshot.forEach( function(chat){
      datamcflyFef.remove( chat.value()._id, function( removed ) {
         console.log('Deleted Document : ', removed.value() );
      });
  });
});

Thanks for the function! Where would I put this in the code?

[freekrai]

You could put it into the chatmanager, you may have to make a few changes to it though as the reference is this.datamcflyRef I think

[NikV]

Made the changes, but seems like it gives an error everywhere I put it in chatmanger.

[freekrai]

Can you share your chatmanager and I'll take a look? :)

[NikV]

Right now, it currently looks the same as the one in this github repo :)

Ok, you can take a look at this file and go from there https://gist.github.com/freekrai/71de95a4b05b8a48854f

It may a tad rough as I didn't have a chance to test it as I'm mobile this morning :)

Getting closer! Getting an error though on 113: Cannot read property 'remove' of undefined

[freekrai]

.remove is definitely a function in the library, so try now with the latest push.

Just changed the this.datamcflyRef to _this.datamcflyRef

[NikV]

Where did you change that? No change if I replace the normal this. before the remove()

[freekrai]

Look at the gist...

[NikV]

Woops, sorry, I see that!
