Hi,
I started playing with appwrite today and wanted to build myself a starter kit with stripe and auth via magic link, google and github.
I successfully managed to implement auth via magic links and initiated shadcn after. After that I wanted to restructure my project a little and moved the methods (e.g. createMagicLink) in the actions.ts file but now I get the error: AppwriteException [Error]: User (role: guests) missing scope (account).
I'm calling my action from a clientside form. This is my actions.ts:
TypeScript
"use server";
import { createAdminClient } from "@/lib/server/appwrite";import { ID } from "node-appwrite";import { cookies } from "next/headers";
export async function createMagicLink(formData: { get: (arg: string) => any }) { const email = formData.get("email");
const { account } = await createAdminClient();
try { console.log("createMagicURLToken", email); //todo: remove debug const session = await account.createMagicURLToken( ID.unique(), email, `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_URL}/auth`, );
cookies().set("session-secret", session.secret, { path: "/", httpOnly: true, sameSite: "strict", secure: true, }); } catch (e) { console.error(e); //todo: remove debug return false; } console.log("200"); //todo: remove debug
return true;}and this is my appwrite.ts:
TypeScript
"use server";import { Client, Account } from "node-appwrite";import { cookies } from "next/headers";
const endpoint = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT;const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT;const apiKey = process.env.NEXT_APPWRITE_KEY;
export async function createSessionClient() { if (!endpoint || !projectId) { throw new Error("Appwrite environment variables are missing."); }
const client = new Client().setEndpoint(endpoint).setProject(projectId);
const session = cookies().get("session-secret"); if (!session || !session.value) { throw new Error("No session"); }
client.setSession(session.value);
return { get account() { return new Account(client); }, };}
export async function createAdminClient() { if (!endpoint !projectId !apiKey) { console.log(endpoint, projectId, apiKey); //todo: remove debug throw new Error("Appwrite environment variables are missing."); }
const client = new Client() .setEndpoint(endpoint) .setProject(projectId) .setKey(apiKey);
return { get account() { return new Account(client); }, };}
export async function getLoggedInUser() { try { const { account } = await createSessionClient(); const acc = await account.get(); console.log("acc", acc); //todo: remove debug return await account.get(); } catch (error) { console.log("null", error); //todo: remove debug return null; }}Somebody knows what might be wrong here? Thanks in advance!
Summary
Developers are getting a 'User missing scope' error when trying to use NextJS Server Action with Appwrite. The issue seems to be with using the admin client client-side because it requires an API key. The solution may involve restructuring the project to properly handle creating magic links.
