Willem - Hello, quick question: is there a way ...
Hello, quick question: is there a way for a plugin to remove outdated data (that was added earlier by app.handleMessage())?
In this case it concerns weather forecast data with a path like 'xxxx.forecast.2024-04-21.temperatureMin'.
After April 21, this data should be purged.
Thanks, Willem

You can update the value to null, but there’s no way to delete the path completely.
I think the solution here would delete by timeout
If you structure your data differently: use path
xxx.forecast and use a value that is an object that has all the data including the timestamp then newer updates will simply replace the previous one
Having said that it seems there’s growing interest in having weather data - something we could or should address on the spec / api level+1 on the spec /api
Thanks for the information, I'll look into restructuring the data at some point (or if memory use becomes an issue).
