Create collection
In Appwrite, data is stored as a collection of documents. Create a collection in the Appwrite Console to store our ideas.
Create a new collection with the following attributes:
| Field | Type | Required |
| userId | String | Yes |
| title | String | Yes |
| description | String | No |
Ideas context
Now that you have a collection to hold ideas, we can read and write to it from our app. Like we did with the user data, we will create a store hold our ideas. Create a new file src/lib/stores/ideas.js and add the following code to it.
Web
import { ID, Query } from "appwrite";
import { databases } from "../appwrite";
import { reactive } from "vue";
export const IDEAS_DATABASE_ID = "<YOUR_DATABASE_ID>"; // Replace with your database ID
export const IDEAS_COLLECTION_ID = "<YOUR_COLLECTION_ID>"; // Replace with your collection ID
export const ideas = reactive({
current: [],
async init() {
const response = await databases.listDocuments(
IDEAS_DATABASE_ID,
IDEAS_COLLECTION_ID,
[Query.orderDesc("$createdAt"), Query.limit(10)]
);
this.current = response.documents;
},
async add(idea) {
const response = await databases.createDocument(
IDEAS_DATABASE_ID,
IDEAS_COLLECTION_ID,
ID.unique(),
idea
);
this.current = [response, ...this.current].slice(0, 10);
},
async remove(id) {
await databases.deleteDocument(IDEAS_DATABASE_ID, IDEAS_COLLECTION_ID, id);
this.current = this.current.filter((idea) => idea.$id !== id);
await this.init(); // Refetch ideas to ensure we have 10 items
},
});
Note the init function, which uses Query to fetch the last 10 ideas from the database. We will call this function when the app starts to ensure we have some data to display.
