How to remove a child node after a certain date is passed in Firebase cloud functions?

问题

So i have a database structure where i save an event with a timestamp value that dictates when the event will expire and be removed

so i created a firebase cloud function where i compare the time now (Date().now) with the timestamp in the database

the problem is when the code gets run the event gets removed immediately

here is the code:

// // Create and Deploy Your First Cloud Functions
// // https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/write-firebase-functions
//
// exports.helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
//  response.send("Hello from Firebase!");
// });

const admin = require('firebase-admin')
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase)

exports.removeOldMessages = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
    const messagesRef = admin.database().ref('events')
    messagesRef.once('value', (snapshot) => {
        snapshot.forEach((child) => {
            child.forEach((child) => {
                if (Number(child.val()['endDate']) >= new Date().getTime()) {
                   child.ref.set(null)
              }
            })
        })
    })
    return res.status(200).end()
})

{   "events" : {
"N5iTuYzAbJa02RauxCl3uh2Nggz1" : {
  "-LNmIvSdrwK96KCGcmXm" : {
    "addedBy" : "Riyadh Figures",
    "coordinate" : [ 24.70914690943994, 46.78851541131735 ],
    "endDate" : "1538442801.0",
    "imagePath" : "-LNmIvSdrwK96KCGcmXm",

    "title" : "hjihgf",
    "userPicture" : "N5iTuYzAbJa02RauxCl3uh2Nggz1"
  }
}   },   "user_profiles" : {

回答1:

Swift uses intervals/timestamps in seconds with the fractional part indicating the subsecond details. Most other platforms use milliseconds. That means that there is a 1000x difference between the values, which explains why your comparison doesn't work.

The simplest fix is to multiple or divide by 1000. E.g.

if (1000*Number(child.val()['endDate']) >= new Date().getTime()) {
   child.ref.set(null)
}
