[SOLVED] Trying to store user preferences when creating an account

I get an error message when creating an account and attempting to store the role and user id in a database collection. What am i doing wrong in my code? These are the errors I get in the front-end console:

errors:

TypeScript

main.dart.js:45231     POST http://178.128.196.153/v1/databases/64e70d5fb77f8c332745/collections/64e70d954009050a62ec/documents 400 (Bad Request)

"invalid document structure: Missing required attribute: userId"

code:

TypeScript

Future<String> createUser(String name, String email, String password, String role) async {
  try {

  final user = await account.create(
    userId: ID.unique(),
    email: email,
    password: password,
    name: name);
    print("New User created");
    print("Created user ID: ${user.$id}");

  // storing the user role in the database after successful registration
  await databases.createDocument(
    databaseId: '64e70d5fb77f8c332745',
    collectionId: '64e70d954009050a62ec',
    documentId: user.$id,
    data: {
      'userId': user.$id,
      'role': role
    });

    return "success";
    } on AppwriteException catch(e) {
      return e.message.toString();
    }

}

TL;DR

The user is trying to store user preferences when creating an account. They are getting an error message "invalid document structure: Missing required attribute: userId". They are unsure of what they are doing wrong in their code. The solution is to change 'userId' to 'userid' in the code to match the attribute name.

What is the collection structure?

Attributes

its the user id, and a role which can take the value "entrepreneur" or "coach"

Try to log this before sending

TypeScript

 data: {
      'userId': user.$id,
      'role': role
    })

To see that none of these two values are empty, as if it will be send empty and one of them is required then it will be considered as Missing required attribute

So I currently get this error:

"invalid document structure: Missing required attribute: userId"

Am i doing something wrong for the user id?

Can you share screenshot of the attribute screen?

This is how it looks

userid or userId?

userid

Seems like in the create document part/function you're trying to save an attribute that doesn't exists called userId, because your attribute seen in the screenshot is "userid" with the I not in caps letters

How would you suggest I fix this in order to store the attribute? Is there any part of the code I should correct?

Just put the i not in capital letters or change the attribute name by deleting it and adding it again (note, previous data will be lost)

Are you referring to this, and saying make the capital I an i instead?

TypeScript

'userId': user.$id,

This is how will look your code after being modified:

TypeScript


Future<String> createUser(String name, String email, String password, String role) async {
  try {

  final user = await account.create(
    userId: ID.unique(),
    email: email,
    password: password,
    name: name);
    print("New User created");
    print("Created user ID: ${user.$id}");


  // storing the user role in the

//Here the I should not be in caps, fixed in the code below


 database after successful registration
  await databases.createDocument(
    databaseId: '64e70d5fb77f8c332745',
    collectionId: '64e70d954009050a62ec',
    documentId: user.$id,
    data: {
      'userid': user.$id,
      'role': role
    });

    return "success";
    } on AppwriteException catch(e) {
      return e.message.toString();
    }

}

Yes
