AppwriteException: Invalid document structure - [For React Native]
I'm trying to update the data which has been stored on a Collection in ENUM Type. I using the user id as document id during it's creation. I have no issues while creating and deleting it, but I'm facing issues when i tried to update the values.
This is the structure of data which has been stored,
TypeScript
{
profile: {
links: {
github: "xxx",
linkedin: "xxxx",
},
about: "",
points: 0,
courseStats: {},
},
}
This is how i tried to update the document,
TypeScript
const updateUserData = async (
fieldToUpdate,
dataToUpdate,
isNested = false,
fieldToInsert
) => {
try {
// Update document
const updatedDocument = await databases.updateDocument(
"DOCUMENT-ID",
"COLLECTION-ID",
user.$id, // Acts as DOCUMENT-ID
isNested
? {
profile: {
...userData,
[fieldToUpdate]: {
...userData[fieldToUpdate],
[fieldToInsert]: dataToUpdate,
},
},
}
: {
profile: {
...userData,
[fieldToUpdate]: dataToUpdate,
},
}
);
// Update state with the new document data
setUserData(updatedDocument.profile);
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error updating document:", error);
}
};
After this function's execution, the backend only returns this error,
TypeScript
Error updating document: [AppwriteException: Invalid document structure: Attribute "profile" has invalid format. Value must be one of (links, about, points, courseStats)]
TL;DR
User is encountering an AppwriteException error while trying to update values in a Collection with nested data. They have no issues with create and delete operations. The error message states that the 'profile' attribute has an invalid format and it should only have values of 'links', 'about', 'points', or 'courseStats'. The user shares the structure of the data they are trying to update and provides the code they are using for the update.
Solution: The user should check if they are updating the 'profile' attribute correctly and ensure that the value being passed is one of the allowed values. They can also inspect the network logs in their
Uhh you can't nest data like that with an enum attribute...would you please share your collection as JSON? If you inspect the network logs in your browser while viewing the loading the collection in the Console, there should be an API call for the collection
