I want to upgrade my old functions to V3. I follwed the tutorial on:
https://appwrite.io/docs/functions-develop#upgrade

But on front its still showing that I need to update the function to V3. Is there any other tutorials?

Summary

The user wants to upgrade their function to V3 but is unsure about some changes. In V3, `req.payload` is no longer supported and should be replaced with `req.body`. The user also needs to add `"commands": "npm install"` in the appwrite.json file for the build command. They are experiencing an issue with package installation and may need to migrate to ES6. The user asks if it only works with ES6 or also with CommonJS, and the response is unclear. They want to upgrade their old functions to V3 but the tutorial they followed is not working. They ask for other tutorials. Solution:

You'll need to recreate the function

do you mean rebuild?

No, either create a new function or delete your existing function and recreate it with the same ID

A function has build commands. You'll need to add npm install for the build command

ahh okay, that is new I guess. I cann add it in appwrite.json

"commands": "npm install",

the idea behind this was to allow anything else you may need as well such as whatever setup needed to install a pivate package or install some chromium driver, etc.

"The req object has been updated to use terminology consistent with typical HTTP concepts. You'll now find familiar concepts like headers, body, HTTP methods, and others."

That means req.payload is not any more supported in V3, right? In the new concept it should be req.body?

yes, req.bodyRaw or req.body. see https://appwrite.io/docs/functions-develop#request
