Separate user name by first and last name?
I'm working on a sign up page where i want to separate the input field for first name and last name. Based on the documentation, it doesn't seem to be possible, so i wanted to check if it is possible in some way/a workaround that isn't mentioned in the documentation?
TL;DR
The user wants to separate the input field for first name and last name on a sign up page using Appwrite. It seems that it is not possible according to the documentation, but there is a workaround:
1. Set the first and last name details in the `user-preferences` object.
2. Alternatively, set the details in a separate collection.
3. Use the `user.name.split(' ')` method to split the user name at runtime.
This should achieve the desired result.
The user part in Appwrite is pretty much done for you, meaning any changes you want to do will usually go outside of the user realm.
For your use-case you can
- ☑️ Set these details in the
user-prefenecesobject https://appwrite.io/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountUpdatePrefs - Set these details in a separate collection
- Set it as the user name and use split it at runtime
user.name.split(' ')
Alright, gonna try this. Thanks @Binyamin !
