[SOLVED] How to execute a function from another function?

Can i fire a custom event from one function, and then listen to it from another one? and pass data from the caller function to the callee function? I'm using JS

TL;DR

To execute a function from another function in JavaScript, you can use the `createExecution` method. Here's an example of how to do it: ```javascript functions.createExecution('[FUNCTION_ID]','Data'); // OR functions.createExecution('[FUNCTION_ID]',JSON.stringify({object:'value'})); ``` You can pass either a string or a JSON object as the data. However, for now, only strings are supported, so if you want to pass an object, you'll need to stringify it. There are a few options for executing the function: 1. Using the server/client side SDK: You can pass any data you

You have few option to do so:

1. Via server/client side SDK https://appwrite.io/docs/client/functions?sdk=web-default#functionsCreateExecution https://appwrite.io/docs/server/functions?sdk=nodejs-default#functionsCreateExecution In this option you can pass any data you want.

Trigger by event. https://appwrite.io/docs/events#functions-events You can set the event trigger to be the first function. You can see here some example https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1097977347795337318/1097979530943139952 In this option you'll pass only the information that was returned from the first function

so does createExecution fire the function whose id was passed into it? or does it create a custom execution event i can subscribe to

createExecution will trigger direct execution of the function. In the data you can pass whatever you want

When you're listening to function event then your function will execute every time your function do something, and you can check then the data you got from the function

and syntactically, how would i pass the data to functions.createExecution(<function id>)?

Like so

TypeScript

functions.createExecution('[FUNCTION_ID]','Data');
// OR
functions.createExecution('[FUNCTION_ID]',JSON.stringify({object:'value'}));

For now you can pass only string that's why you'll need to stringify your object
