/usr/local/server/src/function/src/main.ts:1 import { Client, Users, Databases } from 'node-appwrite
i tried to switch from js to ts in cloud functions, i've changed the main.js to main.ts and also changed the package.json
{
"name": "starter-template",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "src/main.ts",
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"format": "prettier --write ."
},
"dependencies": {
"node-appwrite": "^9.0.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"prettier": "^3.0.0"
}
}
and also updated the Entrypoint in the function Configuration section src/main.ts but still didn't want to wrok
You won't be able to use typescript like so out of the box in Node fucntion
For this to work change index to js then copy this to your json file
{
"name": "starter-template",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "src/main.js",
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"format": "prettier --write ."
},
"dependencies": {
"node-appwrite": "^11.1.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"prettier": "^3.0.0"
}
}
If you do want to use typescript I'll suggest creating bun function
Check the bun starter code
thank you, will check that! so there is no wy to use typescript in nodejs ?
Not right now, no
But bun offers almost the same features
