To delete images from firestore using a Vue.js component, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary Firestore and Firebase libraries in your Vue.js component:

2
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/firestore';


  1. Add a method in your component to delete the image from Firestore. In this method, you will need to perform the deletion operation by accessing the Firestore database, finding the image document, and deleting it.

methods: {
  deleteImage(imageId) {
    const db = firebase.firestore();
    
    db.collection('images').doc(imageId).delete()
      .then(() => {
        console.log("Image deleted successfully");
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.error("Error deleting image: ", error);
      });
  }
}


  1. Call the deleteImage method in your template when you want to delete an image. Pass the id of the image you want to delete as a parameter to the method.

<button @click="deleteImage(image.id)">Delete Image</button>


Make sure to replace 'images' with the name of the collection where your images are stored and adjust the document structure in the doc(imageId) call based on your Firestore data structure.


By following these steps, you should be able to delete images from Firestore in your Vue.js component.
