as referenced in firebase cloud firestore Batched writes:
If you do not need to read any documents in your operation set, you can execute multiple write operations as a single batch that contains any combination of set(), update(), or delete() operations. A batch of writes completes atomically and can write to multiple documents.
how to delete all documents in a collection in using angular 5 ?
// Get a new write batch
var batch = db.batch();
// Delete the city 'LA'
var laRef = db.collection("cities").doc("LA");
batch.delete(laRef);
<!-- Delete All Tasks -->
<button
mat-button mat-icon-button
(click)="tasksService.deleteAllTasks(openSnackBar())"
matTooltip="Delete All Tasks"
class="toolbar-btn"
[disabled]="(tasksService.tasks$ | async)?.length == 0">
<i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
</button>
<!-- Delete All Tasks -->
It's so easy, try this!
private async deleteCollection(path: string) {
const batch = db.batch();
const qs = await db.collection(path).ref.get();
qs.forEach(doc => batch.delete(doc.ref));
return batch.commit();
}
