Create User with function

I try to dev a function for creating a new user. There is my function :

TypeScript

const sdk = require("node-appwrite");

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();
  const account = new sdk.Account(client)
  const teams = new sdk.Teams(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    console.warn("Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.");
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }
  const user = JSON.parse(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_DATA"]);
  try {
    console.log('step1')
    const {$id} = await account.create('unique()', user.email, user.password, user.name)
    console.log('step2')
    await databases.createDocument(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_DATABASE_ID"], req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_COLLECTION_ID"],$id, {
      "userId": $id,
      "username": username
    });
    console.log('step3')
    await account.createVerification(user.redirectURL)

  } catch (error) {
    console.log('error', error)
    res.json({ error: 'Error creating user', error: error});
  }
};

But the console stop at console.log('step1'). There is an example of data that I pass to the function :

TypeScript

{
    "email": "name@example.com",
    "password":"password",
    "name":"myname",
    "username": "myusername",
    "redirectURL":"http://localhost:3000/verifyEmail"
}

TL;DR

The user is trying to create a function for creating a new user. They are encountering an error when trying to use the `account.createVerification` function. They are also unsure about how to handle user authentication after signup. The suggestion is to manually make an API call to create the email verification. Additionally, the user is using the wrong endpoint (`account.create` instead of `users.create`) in their function. Solution: 1. Manually make an API call to create the email verification. 2. Use the correct endpoint `users.create` instead of `account.create` in the function.

My Function API got this permissions

You need to use User endpoint : https://appwrite.io/docs/server/users?sdk=nodejs-default#usersCreate

arhh im dumbb

Well everything work except the .createVerification function in my function :

TypeScript

const sdk = require("node-appwrite");

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();
  const account = new sdk.Account(client);
  const users = new sdk.Users(client)
  const databases = new sdk.Databases(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    console.warn("Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.");
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }
  const user = JSON.parse(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_DATA"]);
  try {
    const {$id} = await users.create('unique()', user.email, undefined, user.password, user.name)
    await databases.createDocument(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_DATABASE_ID"], req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_COLLECTION_ID"],$id, {
      "userId": $id,
      "username": user.username
    });
    await account.createVerification(user.redirectURL)
  } catch (error) {
    res.json({ error: 'Error creating user', error: error})
    throw error
  }
};

Ive got a role error : {"error":{"code":401,"type":"general_unauthorized_scope","response":{"message":"app.648cd565d979363284c1@service.cloud.appwrite.io (role: applications) missing scope (account)","code":401,"type":"general_unauthorized_scope","version":"0.10.42"}}}

The account.createVerification requires a user session which doesn't really exist server side. You'll need to manually make an API call to create an email session and create the email verification

Okay so I cant createVerification without being connected ? What can I do if I don't want a user to be connected after signup ? I guess that I have to connect it automatically after the signup

I've never used a JWT, but with this kind of token can't we authorize the function to create a verification email?

Like in this docs example :

TypeScript

const sdk = require('node-appwrite');

// Init SDK
const client = new sdk.Client();

const account = new sdk.Account(client);

client
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
    .setJWT('eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ...') // Your secret JSON Web Token
;

const promise = account.createVerification('https://example.com');

promise.then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
}, function (error) {
    console.log(error);
});

Well in any case I compared the speed of registration via an Appwrite function against the client-side, is a few seconds ago (about 5sec via the function) while it is instantaneous from the client-side. So if I have to log in to start an email check, I might as well stay on the client side

5s might be a cold start. It should be faster after that

There's nothing wrong with allowing users to log in after creating an account

Yeah I just see a lot of website that doesnt log after signup ahah but ty a lot !

I would suggest restricting access to resources to verified users

Yeah ive got 2 functions :

user_create : add each new user in the userteam
user_verified: add role verified when user verify his email address (but isnt working for now ahah)
