yeah accounts api for the client side access and users for server side with an API key

im on 1.3.1 appwrite version, maybe the 1.3.2 version uses 'ID.unique()'?

safwan

not a 100% sure. I'm away from my laptop so can't check immediately

Function call: ID.unique()

where is that function defined? what should I import from the appwrite node sdk?

i would think that would have to happen on server side to ensure it is unique/valid or a collision would result in an error unless the function just returns the string 'unique()'

Yes it's in the Appwrite node SDK. It's imported the same way you import Client

Ah, thanks, found it

JavaScript
class ID {
    static custom(id) {
        return id;
    }
    static unique() {
        return 'unique()';
    }
}

guess I missed it with my client wrapper

safwan

heyo, is your issue resolved? if it hasn't feel free to ask any more questions, but if it has, let me know so I can mark it as solved 😄 appwritepeepo

well i started on creating a function to do this but now im getting this from the cli

✗ Error Command failed: git clone --depth 1 --sparse https://github.com/appwrite/functions-starter . Cloning into '.'... fatal: cannot change to 'https://github.com/appwrite/functions-starter': No such file or directory error: failed to initialize sparse-checkout

It was the same issue, and updating git fixed it

safwan

also make sure your appwrite CLI is up to date

yup just updated git and worked too, thanks for the help! saved a lot of time there
my next challenge is to see if I can get typescript'd functions

safwan

In that case, I'll mark the issue as solved?

well i guess I will try to get the user creation function working and share it here for others

safwan

alright, that's better

safwan

if you need any help, let me know 🙂

hmm using my host ip from my local network worked, that's not cool, my local network ip isn't static and I don't think my router even allows that..

        }, error?.code || 400);
        return;
    }
