How to delete all rows in BigTable GCP using nodejs without prefix

Question

I'm trying to delete all rows without a prefix from bigtable using node js but it keeps on throwing error saying Error: A prefix is required for deleteRows ...

Tried this

table.deleteRows(function(err) {
    if (!err) {
      // All rows were deleted successfully.
    }
  })

Answer 1

Try passing in an empty prefix which would match everything like so:

table
  .deleteRows('')
  .then(result => {
    const apiResponse = result[0];
  })
  .catch(err => {
    // Handle the error.
  });

There is an example in the reference docs, prefix seems required https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/bigtable/latest/Table.html#deleteRows
