[SOLVED] Appwrite function - anonymous user created even with payload present

I am using ID.unique() as I expected it will generate unique ID

Yet this is the declaration of it

Maybe that is the problem

Ok no that is not the issue, I still get anonymous users created

From console logs

"{\"email\": \"user@example.com\",\"password\": \"example\",\"name\": \"User example\"}"
PAYLOAD PARSED
{"email": "user@example.com","password": "example","name": "User example"}
USER_ID
6j4o3p1vi8eqtg6hrxag```

From function response 
```{"response":{"statusCode":200,"body":{"$id":"6j4o3p1vi8eqtg6hrxag","$createdAt":"2023-07-21T12:33:01.097+00:00","$updatedAt":"2023-07-21T12:33:01.097+00:00","name":"","password":"","hash":"argon2","hashOptions":{"memoryCost":2048,"timeCost":4,"threads":3},"registration":"2023-07-21T12:33:01.096+00:00","status":true,"passwordUpdate":"","email":"","phone":"","emailVerification":false,"phoneVerification":false,"prefs":[]}},"payload":"\"{\\\"email\\\": \\\"user@example.com\\\",\\\"password\\\": \\\"example\\\",\\\"name\\\": \\\"User example\\\"}\""}```

Idk why this is happening

I still can't figure out why is it creating anonymous user :x

These are my console log results

PAYLOAD UNPARSED
"{email: \"user@example.com\",\"password\": \"example\",\"name\": \"User example\"}"
PAYLOAD PARSED
{email: "user@example.com","password": "example","name": "User example"}
USER_ID
msm2ajmpvwn3nh7afdj0
USER_EMAIL

USER_PASSWORD

USER_NAME

These are my console logs

      const payload: IUser = JSON.parse(req.payload);
      console.log('PAYLOAD PARSED')
      console.log(payload)
      const userId = ID.custom(generateUniqueId());
      console.log('USER_ID')
      console.log(userId)
      console.log('USER_EMAIL')
      console.log(payload.email)
      console.log('USER_PASSWORD')
      console.log(payload.password)
      console.log('USER_NAME')
      console.log(payload.name)

So for some reason payload variables aren't fetched

in here, don't escape/wrap with quotes. it should be:

{"email": "user@example.com","password": "example","name": "User example"}

This is parsed payload. While I am sending stringified and then parsing it - which is supposedly okay based on the console logs?

And I console.log parsed one, the one you wrote, and it doesn't return property values

no you shouldn't be escaping stuff when putting it in the console

ok, so as I am going to be sending stringified payload from the client, then I can't test stringified payload via console 😦

no, it's because in the console it's already a string...you're so you're stringifying it again by putting:

"{\"email\": \"user@example.com\",\"password\": \"example\",\"name\": \"User example\"}"

I see now, that was really confusing, didn't know it was a string already as I didn't see any note about it. Thanks for helping out, it works fine now

a note...like the example below?

Maybe this? Not sure if it would be helpful to have this note in the console as well. I missed it :X

did you look right under the input box for the custom data in the console?

Yes. But that also didn't indicate I can't really put stringified payload in there 🙂 And as I missed the docs I sent, took a while to figure out.

Another thing that might be good is interlinking appwrite console with the documentation. But that would be to the UI people to decide, I can't really tell where would be good places to do that

if you put a stringified payload, your code would need to parse it twice

Like placing links to docs, or making hover effect labels that would give more information about something in the console

Yeah 😅 Either way, it works now and I can continue working on my app 😄
