User object empty preferences is an array instead of an object

According to the docs, the prefs field should be an object but when I get it from functions it's an array

Hey 👋

What SDK are you using?

Dart server SDK

Weird can't see any obvious reason for this in the code.

What version of dart and dart SDK are you running?

Dart 2.17
SDK 8.0.0

To give you some context, this is the function it's triggered by an users.*.delete event

Future main(final context) async { final client = Client() .setEndpoint(Platform.environment['APPWRITE_ENDPOINT']!) .setProject(Platform.environment['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID']) .setKey(Platform.environment['API_KEY']); try { final user = User.fromMap(context.req.body); await Databases(client).deleteDocument( databaseId: Platform.environment['DATABASE_ID']!, collectionId: Platform.environment['USERS_COLLECTION_ID']!, documentId: user.$id, ); return context.res.empty(); } on Exception catch (e, stack) { context.error('$e \n $stack'); return context.res.send('Server error', 500); }

Sorry I can't format it on mobile

Users.FromMap() fails because the user object from context.req.body preferences is an array instead of an object

FYI, it's best to wrap code in backticks to format a bit nicer. You can use 1 backtick for inline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#code) and 3 backticks for multiline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting.

weird....we should be converting it if it's empty...but maybe the bug is somewhere else. Would you be able to create a GitHub issue for this?

Done
