Auto/self delete or mark deleted to 1minute old data in real-time firebase database

Question

I am trying to make auto/self delete or mark data with deleted of 1 minute old data. But I failing to make it in firebase realtime database.

Can anyone help me to make it in firebase nodejs app.

I am trying to create nodejs function as Time-To-Live(TTL) functionality.

Appreciate your help.

This topic has been covered quite regularly before like in https://stackoverflow.com/q/32004582, which even led to a Cloud Functions example here: https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/master/delete-old-child-nodes. I'd recommend reading some of those approaches and trying this yourself. If you get stuck along the way, post back with what you tried and we can probably help better. — Frank van Puffelen, Jun 04 '20 at 15:49

Realtime Database doesn't have a TTL feature. You will have to build this yourself. One approach is to use Cloud Functions in tandem with Cloud Tasks to schedule a task to run 1 minute after you write a child in the database, which would invoke the function to delete it.

I have a more complete and detailed explanation of how that works with Firestore, but you will have to substitute Realtime Database for Firestore.

As I said, you can adapt the strategy to work with Realtime Database instead of Firestore. Everything else stays the same. – Doug Stevenson Jun 04 '20 at 16:03
