First function help

Hey team sorry for the unnecessary support req but this is the first time am write a cloud function as I start to learn python I just want to know if this function is correct if not can someone help on what I should change.

from appwrite.client import Client from appwrite.services.database import Database

//Initialize the Appwrite client client = Client() client.set_endpoint('https://YOUR_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT') client.set_project('YOUR_APPWRITE_PROJECT') client.set_key('YOUR_APPWRITE_API_KEY')

//Initialize the database service database = Database(client)

//Define the function to auto-populate profile collection def populate_profile(document): //Extract the necessary fields from the user's payload userId = document['$id'] email = document['email'] name = document['name']

TypeScript

# Create a new document in the profile collection
profileDocument = database.create_document(
    collectionId='YOUR_PROFILE_COLLECTION_ID',
    data={
        'userId': userId,
        'email': email,
        'name': name,
        # Add additional fields as needed
    }
)

//Log the newly created profile document ID
print('Profile document created:', profileDocument['$id'])

//Call the function when a user is created populate_profile(event['payload'])

TL;DR

The user is asking for help with their first cloud function using Appwrite. They are unsure if their code is correct and would like recommendations on what to change. Another user suggests using the Appwrite cli or starting with one of the function starters available on GitHub. The code provided by the user is outdated and won't work, so the recommended solution is to use the updated code provided in the support thread. The updated code includes setting the Appwrite project, key, collection ID, and database ID. It also includes initializing the Appwrite client and database service, defining the function to auto-populate the profile collection, and calling the function when

To easily create a function for Appwrite

Appwrite cloud function

So for that you'll need to put your code in the starter function, like the link above. It will look something like this

TypeScript

from appwrite.client import Client
from appwrite.services.databases import Databases

def main(req, res):
  client = Client()

  client.set_endpoint('https://your_appwrite_endpoint/')
  client.set_project('YOUR_APPWRITE_PROJECT')
  client.set_key('YOUR_APPWRITE_API_KEY')

  database = Databases(client)
  populate_profile(req.payload) 


  return res.json({
    "areDevelopersAwesome": True,
  })

def populate_profile(document):
    userId = document['$id']
    email = document['email']
    name = document['name']

    # Create a new document in the profile collection
    profileDocument = database.create_document(
        collectionId='YOUR_PROFILE_COLLECTION_ID',
        data={
            'userId': userId,
            'email': email,
            'name': name,
            # Add additional fields as needed
        }
    )
