[SOLVED] Share code across multiple functions

I tried it but it didnt work unfortunately

in dart you can have:

In the pubspec.yaml for function1 you would have:

Got you

ya, the Appwrite CLI will resolve the symlink and include it in the tar.gz

That's cool

Ahhh , I was hoping that

dependencies: 
  dart_appwrite: ^7.1.0
  helper:
    path: ../helper

Would work out of the box. Is there a specific reason why it doesnt?

What OS You're using?

what byawitz said:

When deploying function to the cloud only the code inside the function folder will be deployed.

Im using windows

Locally, and linux for prod. Im not sure, are symlinks the same on both systems?

Not exactly.

You'll need to create symlink so for your example

Linux: inside any of your functions run

  ln -s ../helper helper

Windows: inside any of your functions run

  mklink /d helper ../helper

Notice that the target and source folder are the opposite parameter in each OS

That will create an helper folder within your function folder

Then update your yaml to:

dependencies: 
  dart_appwrite: ^7.1.0
  helper:
    path: helper

In linux it will work as Steven suggested, I won't be able to test in Windows dev environment right now, But it should work, try and let us know

What im worried about is, that the symlink I created on a windows machine wont work when pushing it to github and pulling it onto my raspberry pi with linux

I will try it out and let you know

Mmm make sense yes,

That part I've testes and seems to work

The first one created in linux environment and the second in windows

Both seems to be working

It works! To be on the safe side, I created the symlink on my windows machine using WSL

Via the linux command 😄

Great!

FYI: you can also adopt a monorepo/packaged repo vision to facilitate external code injection
