[SOLVED] ID.unique() use in attributes

Hi all! Can I use ID.unique() for attributes? it returns a string “unique()”, not a unique code Thank you!

TL;DR

The user was asking if they can use `ID.unique()` for attributes in their code. Another user provided a link to the code that generates the ID in Appwrite and clarified that `ID.unique()` returns only the string "unique()", not a unique code. They also mentioned that the generation of the unique ID happens inside Appwrite on the server. The solution provided is to use the `ID.unique()` method that comes with the Appwrite SDK to generate a string of unique and random characters for the documentId when creating a new document with `databases.createDocument()`.

Can you provide some more details?

What SDK are you using?
What's your Appwrite version? Is it on cloud or sel-hosted?

Without any of this info, all I can say is that if you are creating a new document with databases.createDocument(), you can use the ID.unique() method that comes with the Appwrite SDK to generate a string of unique and random characters for the documentId

@safwan hi, thank you for answer.

web sdk (client)
1.3 cloud (aws instance) example: const role_id = ID.unique(); try { let response = await database.createDocument(db_id, db_roles_id, 'unique()', {'role_id':role_id,'role_name':role_name}); …..
