All my functions used to be in a single index.js file, and everything worked properly. Now, I have divided up my functions into different files for the different functions, but one function is not working.

My index file begins like this:

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');

The file for the function that is not working begins like this:

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const index = require('./index')

exports.deleteOtherData = functions.firestore
    .document('attempts/{attemptId}')
    .onDelete((snapshot, context) => {

    const rawVideoBucket = index.admin.storage().bucket('my-bucket-name');

I am now getting this error:

"TypeError: Cannot read property 'storage' of undefined"

Why? Can't I reference the admin property from the index file?

    I'm not good at all in NodeJS, but are you sure that you haven't to export the admin variable to be able to use it in subsequent file? – guillaume blaquiere Aug 14 '22 at 18:42

  • @guillaumeblaquiere Yes, you are right. In this particular case, I found it simplest to make the admin variable a global variable accessible in all files, since I use it in all files. – TrotterDown Aug 18 '22 at 19:05
