Summary

The user is asking how to pass map data through a string that the createExecution function receives in Flutter. They also shared a traceback error they encountered. Solution: Import the 'dart:convert' package and use the json.encode() method to convert the context.req.body into a JSON string. To access the data sent by the client-side inside the function, use the context.req.body. The 'async' parameter is used to execute the function in the background and fetch results later. The 'method' parameter specifies the HTTP method used for the request. The 'headers' parameter can be used to include custom headers. In Python, the data

Plain text

        functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]',
        body: json.encode({ 'foo': 'bar' }),
        async: false,
        path: '/',
        method: 'GET',
        headers: {
            'X-Custom-Header': '123'
        }
    );```

what is async importance in the function execution?

frankenstein

and method?

Method is relevant only when you want to check it inside the function.
xasync is if you want to execute the function in the background and fetch the results later using the getExecution function. this is probably what you don't want to do so just ignore it or set it as false.

what about getting the data that client side sent inside the function, using dart?

Binyamin

With dart? it's inside the req.body

Dart

import 'dart:convert';

final body = json.encode(context.req.body)

Check here

Have you used the appwrite cli or a python function starter to create your function?
As their is a specific structure for the function

i figured out the issue. i was creating a tar.gz of a folder instead of files
