Listen to function parameter in realtime

When a function is execute from client side with parameters can we listen to those parameters as well in realtime when subscribing?

You mean to know which parameters were sent to thet function?

yes

Mmm, That sounds like something good to have, But, as of now function executions events return Execution object https://appwrite.io/docs/models/execution

It seems like it doesn't contains the sent data.

I read the execute object, I wanted to notify drivers when a client books for a ride

Do you know any approach or I have to save in db for this?

Can you elaborate a bit more?

I was like when a customer books for a ride, I have a function that gets nearby drivers like 5 in a list and we can subscribe to docID for location, then I want to notify the nearest driver, if he accepts or rejects I wanted functions and not saving into db as its too coupled up

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking on something

was like if i had way on getting to know what parameter were sent then in realtime I listen that would solve my issue of not saving in db as it's resource intensive and some hacky way of notifying.

So as of now you can notify a driver?

I can't

Like I want the parameter

I mean listening when function is executed in realtime no issue

So to summarize

1. Client ask for a ride
2. Function will look for 5 near driver
3. The nearest one will ask to take the ride
4. If disagree will go to the next driver

This is the right flow?

Yes

Okay, You can choose one of two approaches.

Using FCM/APNs

Use another service to push notification.

Pure Appwrite

One way is to do it with database - very small - as this will give you the best realtime option.

You won't need to create to many rows as of Appwrite special Realtime permission module.

All subscriptions are secured by the permissions system offered by Appwrite, meaning a user will only receive updates to resources they have permission to access.

Using Role.any() on read permissions will allow any client to receive updates.

You can let all the drivers to subscribe to a channel for __bidRides __collection databases.[ID].collections.bidRides.documents, But in default no-one will have permission to the collection, which means no-one will get notification for a new / updated document.

So when a new ride came to the system you can:

1. Create a new document for it inside the __bidRides __ collection.
2. Give the nearest driver read permission.
3. Update one attribute of the document.
4. If the driver refuse, repeat step 2 and 3
5. Remove the nearest driver permission
6. Give the next nearest driver read permission
7. Update one attribute of the document.

Then, when one driver took the ride, then you can just delete the document.

Hope it makes sense.

Thank you

Regarding APN is appwrite supporting at that the moment?

No

Appwrite doesn't have - right now, as Wess and Steven said last week maybe on that topic - right now PN of it self. But I think you should be able to send APN using the Swift SDK.

Thanks alot
