[SOLVED] Function : globale variable

Hi, Is there a way to define globale variable in a project to use it between multiple functions ? For example the variable APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT need to be available for each function we deploy, but we have to declare it in each function...

TL;DR

The user wanted to know if there was a way to define global variables in a project to use them across multiple functions. The answer is that currently, global variables cannot be defined, but it is planned as a feature in the next iteration of Appwrite. The user will need to define the variables manually in each function for now.

Hey there 👋 As of right now, you will need to define them manually in each function. Thanfully, in next Functions iteration global variables is a planned feature. I would expect this to be out in Appwrite 1.4. No active work is done yet, bit I plan to start it soon

Ok perfect, glad to see it in the next evolution 👍

And is there a way to define the variable in a local file ( for exemple .env), and then when we deploy with the appwrite-cli, it will initialise all variable coming from this file ?

When using Appwrite CLI, it generates appwrite.json. In there, under function, you can add variables key and put key&value pairs of your variables. With that, every deploy will remove all existing variables and apply variables from appwrite.json.

As defined here under variables https://appwrite.io/docs/command-line-deployment#function-options

Nice, thanks for your answer
