Hey, I am trying to create a basic server function in nodejs that just makes a collection in the database with a unique id.

How would I import id using the same method i have used to import the other modules that you can see in the attachment.

Thanks

Summary

To import the `ID` module in Node.js, you can use the following code: ``` const { ID } = require('appwrite'); ``` This will allow you to use the `ID.unique()` function to generate a unique ID for your collection. Solution: Import the `ID` module using the provided code and then use `ID.unique()` to generate a unique ID for your collection.

If all you want to do is create a new collection with a unique ID, you can do this

JavaScript

let client = new api.Client();
let database = new api.Databases(client);

client
  .setEndpoint('[ENDPOINT-HERE]')
  .setProject('[PROJECT-ID]')
  .setKey('[API-KEY-HERE]')

const promise = databases.createCollection('[DATABASE_ID]', ID.unique(), '[NAME]');

ID.unique() is a helper function that comes with the appwrite SDK, which generates a unique ID for you.

Reference: https://appwrite.io/docs/server/databases?sdk=nodejs-default#databasesCreateCollection

with your import it would be api.ID.unique()
