I'm trying to adapt a React Native project to the new Firebase methods. In it I upload images to Storage and they are added to the App interface. I can also remove these images from the interface as shown in the following code:
const removeImage = (img) => { // delete an image selected by the user
Alert.alert(
"Eliminar imagen",
"¿Estás seguro de eliminar esta imagen?",
[
{
text: "Cancelar",
style: "cancel",
},
{
text: "Eliminar",
onPress: () => {
const result = filter(
formik.values.images,
(image) => image !== img
)
formik.setFieldValue("images", result)
},
},
],
{ cancelable: false }
)
}
The problem is that in this way, they are only removed from my App, while the images are still stored in Firebase. My idea is that when I remove the images from the frontend, they will also be removed from the Firebase Storage.
I have read Firebase documentation, and this would be possible with the deleteObject function
const storage = getStorage();
// Create a reference to the file to delete
const desertRef = ref(storage, 'images/desert.jpg');
// Delete the file
deleteObject(desertRef).then(() => {
// File deleted successfully
}).catch((error) => {
// Uh-oh, an error occurred!
})
I did some test, and I can't get it to work. I don't know exactly how I should add the Firebase instructions shown here.
How should I implement this function in my code to remove images from Storage?
Thank you
import { getStorage, ref, deleteObject, uploadBytes, getDownloadURL } from "firebase/storage"
export function UploadImagesForm(props) {
const { formik } = props
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false) // status for loading
// Function in charge of opening the image gallery
const openGallery = async () => {
const result = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
mediaTypes: ImagePicker.MediaTypeOptions.All,
allowsEditing: true,
aspect: [4, 3],
quality: 1,
})
if (!result.cancelled) {
// console.log('buscando imagenes')
setIsLoading(true) // uploading the image
uploadImage(result.uri)
}
}
// function to upload the images to Firebase
const uploadImage = async (uri) => {
const response = await fetch(uri)
const blob = await response.blob()
const storage = getStorage()
const storageRef = ref(storage, `restaurants/${uuid()}`)
// we go to storage where we want to save the images
uploadBytes(storageRef, blob).then((snapshot) => {
// console.log(snapshot)
updatePhotosRestaurant(snapshot.metadata.fullPath)
})
}
// we take the URL in the previous function and set it in the state of the form
const updatePhotosRestaurant = async (imagePath) => {
const storage = getStorage()
const imageRef = ref(storage, imagePath)
const imageUrl = await getDownloadURL(imageRef) // get the url
// code to upload all images without replacing them
// get the current images and add the new ones with the array
formik.setFieldValue("images", [...formik.values.images, imageUrl])
setIsLoading(false)
}
const removeImage = (img) => { // delete an image selected by the user
Alert.alert(
"Eliminar imagen",
"¿Estás seguro de eliminar esta imagen?",
[
{
text: "Cancelar",
style: "cancel",
},
{
text: "Eliminar",
onPress: () => {
const result = filter(
formik.values.images,
(image) => image !== img
)
formik.setFieldValue("images", result)
},
},
],
{ cancelable: false }
)
}
return (

<ScrollView
