Algolia: TypeError: Cannot read property 'exists' of undefined at Object.syncAlgoliaWithFirebase

I'm trying to use Algolia with Firebase Functions, but I get this error TypeError: Cannot read property 'exists' of undefined at Object.syncAlgoliaWithFirebase (/workspace/node_modules/algolia-firebase-functions/dist/index.js:79:23) I followed the steps on the npm algolia-firebase-functions library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/algolia-firebase-functions).

This is my Firebase function code:

const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const admin = require('firebase-admin')
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase)
const db = admin.firestore()
const algoliasearch = require("algoliasearch");
const algoliaFunctions = require('algolia-firebase-functions');


const algolia = algoliasearch(functions.config().algolia.app,
                              functions.config().algolia.key);
const index = algolia.initIndex(functions.config().algolia.index);


exports.indexBesedilo = functions.firestore.document('besedila/{document}').onCreate((change, context) =>
    algoliaFunctions.syncAlgoliaWithFirebase(index, change)
)

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error? Any help would be appreciated!

According to the documentation, if you're using Firebase Cloud Firestore, you should use syncAlgoliaWithFirestore instead of syncAlgoliaWithFirebase.

Your function becomes:

exports.indexBesedilo = functions.firestore.document('besedila/{document}').onCreate((change, context) =>
    algoliaFunctions.syncAlgoliaWithFirestore(index, change)
)
