I have appwrite function where I want to create a user.
Payload I am sending via console custom data interface
"{\"email\": \"user@example.com\",\"password\": \"example\",\"name\": \"User example\"}"
My code
if (req.payload) {
const payload = JSON.parse(res.payload);
console.log('PAYLOAD PARSED');
console.log(payload);
try {
const promise = await users.create(node_appwrite_1.ID.unique(), payload.email, payload.password, payload.name);
response.body = promise;
response.statusCode = 200;
}
catch (error) {
response.body = error;
}
}
It fails on JSON.parse from what I can tell ...
SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0
at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
at module.exports (/usr/code-start/src/index.js:31:30)
at /usr/local/src/server.js:68:19
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
But if I would do this in a javascript file
console.log(JSON.parse("{\"email\": \"user@example.com\",\"password\": \"example\",\"name\": \"User example\"}"))
I would get this in the console
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"password": "example",
"name": "User example"
}
Am I doing something wrong here? Isn't the payload format correct?
TL;DR
The user is encountering an error with JSON parsing in their Appwrite function. They are trying to create a user using custom data. The error occurs when using `JSON.parse` on `req.payload`. The error message suggests that there is an unexpected token 'u' at position 0. The user shares their code and payload. Another user suggests that there might be a typo and recommends using `req.payload` instead of `res.payload`.
