Issues withs Nextjs and Appwrite Client.subscribe() method using appwrite-sdk
I'm attempting to setup a realtime chat component in my nextjs app, but I'm getting module not found errors when using the .subscribe() function on the client-side of the application. I'm getting the following error from node:
TypeScript
⨯ ./node_modules/node-appwrite/lib/inputFile.js:2:0
Module not found: Can't resolve 'fs'
https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/module-not-found
Import trace for requested module:
./node_modules/node-appwrite/index.js
./src/config/appwrite.ts
./src/pages/account/support-chat.tsx
When looking and documentation and tutorials, it looks like things are being done on the client-side so I'm not sure why I would be getting this error from the appwrite sdk. i'm using appwrite version 1.1.1 (planning an upgrade to 1.4 very soon) self-hosted
TL;DR
I'm having module not found errors when using the .subscribe() function in Nextjs with the appwrite-sdk. The error message mentions 'fs' module not found. I've checked the documentation and tutorials, but it should be happening on the client-side. I'm using appwrite version 1.1.1.
Solution: Upgrade to appwrite version 1.4.
