I'm trying to do a simple notification function
but every time i fire the function i get ERROR




TypeError: Cannot read property 'params' of undefined
at exports.sendNotification.functions.database.ref.onWrite (/user_code/index.js:23:32)
at cloudFunctionNewSignature (/user_code/node_modules/firebase-functions/lib/cloud-functions.js:105:23)
at cloudFunction (/user_code/node_modules/firebase-functions/lib/cloud-functions.js:135:20)
at /var/tmp/worker/worker.js:758:24
at process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:135:7)




Or i get the error




TypeError: Cannot read property 'user_id' of undefined




I got an answer from here



but i't didn't help at all , and i can't find the problem . this is my code



'use strict'
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();

exports.sendNotification = functions.database.ref('/notifications/{user_id}/{notification_id}').onWrite((change,context) => {

const user_id = event.params.user_id;
const notification_id = event.params.notification_id;

console.log('We have a notification from : ', user_id);

if(!context.data.val()){

return console.log('A Notification has been deleted from the database : ',
notification_id);

}

const fromUser =admin.database().ref(`/notifications/${user_id}/${notification_id}`).once('value');

return fromUser.then(fromUserResult => {

const from_user_id = fromUserResult.val().from;

console.log('You have new notification from : ', from_user_id);

const userQuery = admin.database().ref(`Users/${from_user_id}/name`).once('value');
const deviceToken = admin.database().ref(`/Users/${user_id}/device_token`).once('value');

return Promise.all([userQuery, deviceToken]).then(result => {

const userName = result[0].val();
const token_id = result[1].val();

const payload = {
notification: {
title : "New Friend Request",
body: `${userName} has sent you request`,
icon: "default",
click_action : "none"
},
data : {
from_user_id : from_user_id
}
};

return admin.messaging().sendToDevice(token_id, payload).then(response => {

return console.log('This was the notification Feature');

});

});

});

});

You never defined event, so it's undefined. You're trying to access a property on an undefined variable. Did you mean context.params.user_id?



(You're probably using an out of date tutorial. I see bad "sendNotification" functions like this all the time on Stack Overflow. Let the author know.)
