How to get cloud function URL link?

This is my code of cloud function. I'm using it if data in Firebase changes it notify users. I have already deployed the cloud function but it is not giving me any cloud function URL.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
exports.userStatusChange = functions.database.ref('/PatientReading/{$patient}/Humidty')
.onWrite(event => {
const original = event.data.val();
const previous = event.data.previous.val();
if (event.data.exists()) {
var title = "User Signed IN";
var body = "User " + original + " signed in";
}
var payload = {
notification: {
title: title,
body: body
}
};
var topic = "OnlineUsers";
return admin.messaging().sendToTopic(topic, payload)
.then(function(response) {
console.log("Successfully sent message:", response);
return true;
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log("Error sending message:", error);
return true;
});
});

Your code is defining a Realtime Database trigger. These functions only run in response to changes in the database at the path you specify. These functions never have a URL - they can't be invoked directly.
If you need an URL to invoke some code in Cloud Functions, you will have to write an HTTP trigger.

Send notifications to android app using Firebase Functions

I am developing a chat app and so, I need to send notifications that new messages have been received.
For that, I am using Firebase Functions.
I'm using the sendToDevice function, that needs a token to send a notification. The problem is, I can't seem to retrieve token of the user that sent the message.
This is my .js code:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
exports.sendNotification = functions.database.ref("/chats/{id}/messages/{messageId}/content")
.onWrite((change,context) => {
var content = change.after.val();
var payload = {
data:{
title: "Stranger has sent you a message",
text: content
}
};
// Here I need to the ID of the person who sent the message
// And then compare this Id with the two Ids of the to users that are in the conversation
// If the two Ids are different, then save the other Id as the token
// So that I can send a notification to the other user.
const senderId = database.ref("/chats/{id}/messages/{id}/sender/{senderId}");
admin.messaging().sendToDevice(senderId, payload)
.then(function(response){
console.log("Successfully sent message: ", response);
return null;
})
.catch(function(error){
console.log("Error sending message: ", error);
})
});
As you can see, I am checking for any changes in the messages/content child.
That as the content of my notification.
Then, I am trying to retrieve the message sender ID so I can know who sent the message and retrieve the other user Id to notify him.
This might be a little confusing so here is my Firebase Realtime Database:
What am I doing wrong so this piece of code works as it should? This is the activity I have in android to receive the message:
class MyFirebaseInstanceId : FirebaseMessagingService() {
override fun onMessageReceived(p0: RemoteMessage) {
if(p0.data.size > 0){
val payload :Map<String, String> = p0.data
sendNotification(payload)
}
}
private fun sendNotification(payload: Map<String, String>) {
val builder = NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_disabled)
builder.setContentTitle(payload.get("username"))
builder.setContentText(payload.get("email"))
val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
val stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this)
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(intent)
val resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)
builder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent)
val notificationManager = (getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE)) as NotificationManager
notificationManager.notify(0, builder.build())
}
}

Following our comments above, here is how to use the once() and val() methods in your Cloud Function:
//.....
const refSenderId = database.ref("/chats/{id}/messages/{id}/sender/{senderId}");
return refSenderId.once('value')
.then(dataSnapshot => {
const senderId = dataSnapshot.val();
return admin.messaging().sendToDevice(senderId, payload)
})
.then(function(response){
console.log("Successfully sent message: ", response);
return null;
})
.catch(function(error){
console.log("Error sending message: ", error);
return null; // <- Note the return here.
})
//.....

Firebase cloud message not sending to device

I am trying to allow users to receive push notifications if an action happened ( like, comment, etc). In the log I sometimes get sucesscount: 1 however device does not receive a notification. But most of the time it is faliurecount:1 the second time. Regardless I am not getting the push notification. When I deployed my functions there was no errors.
When I do send myself a test message from Firebase cloud messaging, that however does work correctly and sends a push notification to everyones devices successfully.
Here is observing likes for example
exports.observeLikes = functions.database.ref('/user-likes/{uid}/{postId}').onCreate((snapshot, event) => {
var uid = event.params.uid;
var postId = event.params.postId;
return admin.database().ref('/users/' + uid).once('value', snapshot => {
var userThatLikedPost = snapshot.val();
return admin.database().ref('/posts/' + postId).once('value', snapshot => {
var post = snapshot.val();
if(uid === post.ownerUid) {
return Promise.resolve();
}
return admin.database().ref('/users/' + post.ownerUid).once('value', snapshot => {
var postOwner = snapshot.val();
var payload = {
notification: {
body: userThatLikedPost.username + ' liked your post ',
sound: 'default'
}
};
admin.messaging().sendToDevice(postOwner.fcmToken, payload)
.then((response) => {
// Response is a message ID string.
console.log('Successfully sent message:', response);
return response;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('Error sending message:', error);
throw new Error('Error sending message:', error);
});
})
})
})
})
Log

So I found the issue. I deleted the app from my device and created a new account ( and it created a new FCM token for the account) and push notifications does work. I did another check and manually changed the FCM token on another device to a new one it registered with , and push notifications are successful. It appears I now need to find a way to update every current test users FCM token because their current devices aren't receiving notifications.

Trying to subscribe to topic on Firebase Cloud Messaging gives Error

When i try to subscribe to a topic i get the following error:
.subscribeToTopic is not a function
const messaging = firebase.messaging();
messaging
.requestPermission()
.then(() => {
return messaging.getToken();
})
.then(token => {
messaging
.subscribeToTopic(token, 'allUsers')
.then(response=> {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log('Error subscribing to topic:', error);
});
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('Unable to get permission to notify.', err);
});
If I remove that line of .subscribeToTopic and add a POST call via http it works using the following url:
https://iid.googleapis.com/iid/v1/TOKEN/rel/topics/TOPIC_NAME
I took a look to this question and the docs
Cloud Messaging in Cloud Functions: admin.messagin(...).send is not a function
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/js/topic-messaging

ah i solved it by handling on backend side ( nodeJS ) where the documentation is easy to handle topic.
so in this case we have alr generate token on frontend side then in backend (nodeJS) we tried to subscribe to topic by the token.
so in frontend end when we stream or firebase.messaging().onMessage(payload => { would like to trigger and show the message by topic.
FYI : https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/5289#issuecomment-899542765
so from the link we know that
Notification.vue
// these from frontend side ( for example vueJS )
import firebase from 'firebase/app'
import 'firebase/messaging'
// firebase only for get token, onMessaging, request permission check, there is no function to subscribe topic by the token, so we handle on backend side my alternative
then in server.js
// these from backend side ( for examle nodeJS )
const { admin } = require('./firebase-config');
// admin.messaging().sendToTopic()
// admin.messaging().subscribeToTopic()
// admin.messaging().sendToDevice()
if you are looking for the firebase-config.js here is
/*
* Initialize firebase
*/
var admin = require("firebase-admin");
var serviceAccount = require("./firebase.json"); // you can get the .json file on firebase service account .
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: "https://project-xxxxxxx.firebaseio.com"
});
module.exports.admin = admin
my implementation :
app.get('/firebase/notification', (req, res)=>{
const registrationToken = req.body.registrationToken;
admin.messaging().subscribeToTopic(registrationToken, 'myTopic')
.then(response => {
console.log('Successfully subscribed to topic:', response)
const options = notification_options;
const message_notification = {
notification: {
title: 'Yogi Arif Widodo',
body: '2 10 pm',
url: 'https://localhost:8080',
other: 'other data',
}
};
admin.messaging().sendToTopic('myTopic', message_notification, options).then( response => {
so when i tested on firebase console send by topic myTopic my Notification.vue trigger these code
firebase.messaging().onMessage(payload => {
.....console.log
}

You need to use the method send not sendToTopic:
// The topic name can be optionally prefixed with "/topics/".
var topic = 'highScores';
var message = {
data: {
score: '850',
time: '2:45'
},
topic: topic
};
// Send a message to devices subscribed to the provided topic.
admin.messaging().send(message)
.then((response) => {
// Response is a message ID string.
console.log('Successfully sent message:', response);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('Error sending message:', error);
});
send() was released and replaced sendtotopic/sendtodevice in version FCM v1

firebase functions push Notifications to specific user

i want to send Push notification via firebase functions to the user who posted the post when some other user likes his/her post.
i want to get the highlighted user-id in the image to get fcm token of this user id stored in other tree.
here is my firebase function code below.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
exports.sendNotification = functions.database.ref('/user-posts/{userID}/{pushId}/stars/')
.onWrite(event=> {
var request = event.data.val();
console.log("request",request);
console.log("key",Object.keys(request)[0]);
var key = Object.keys(request)[0];
var token;
const payload = {
notification: {
title: 'You have a new follower!',
body: 'is now following you.'
}
};
const getDeviceTokensPromise = admin.database()
.ref(`/users-notifications/${key}`)
.once('value').then(function(snapshot) {
console.log("val",snapshot.val());
token= snapshot.val();
admin.messaging().sendToDevice(token,payload)
.then(response=>{
console.log("Successfully sent message:", response);
})
.catch(function(error){
console.log("error sending message",error);
})
})
}, function(error) {
// The Promise was rejected.
console.error(error);
});

You can backwards traverse the DB tree by using the event ref's parent property.
userID = event.data.ref.parent.parent.parent.key
parent of event.data.ref is "stars"
parent of "stars" is your pushID
parent of pushID is userID

Try extracting it from the uri with event.params.userID
