NodeJS Window not defined
I'm trying to subscribe to changes in a collection but im getting ReferenceError: window is not defined.
Here's the code i'm using
TypeScript
const { Client } = require("appwrite");
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint("https://aor.rxserver.net/v1")
.setProject("gate-api");
client.subscribe("collections.gates.documents", (payload) => {
console.log(payload);
});
TL;DR
Developer encountering 'ReferenceError: window is not defined' when attempting to subscribe to changes in a collection using NodeJS. The issue is that realtime/websocket connections are only supported in browser environments, not in NodeJS. Solution: Consider using a different method for real-time updates in a NodeJS environment.
Currently Realtime/websocket connection are only supported in browser environments 👍
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa shet
whats your use case? 🙂
I'm making a "Stargate Network" in a game called Resonite, I want to listen to changes for specific columns for when stargates are connecting to eachother so it plays the right animation in-game
It uses websockets to connect to the game itself
guess i'll just have to constantly check the state
