So somewhat generic question, I was wondering how would you handle friend system with option to send friend request with Accept/Reject, also viewing profile of another user and so on. What I have in mind is 2 ways. Creating a table user and when user register it populated that custom table as well to later use for relation purposes and.
or by storing sender user id and receiver userid with status. And viewing profile via Id by using custom appwrite function.
Or using table with only public data that will get populated on register. what approach would you take since app is heavily related around user interaction with each other, chat , calls, channels and so on. Thank you !
TL;DR
Design a friend system by creating a table that stores sender and receiver user IDs with status (accept/reject). Use custom appwrite functions for viewing profiles via ID. Populate a separate table with public user data on registration for easier access. This will help facilitate user interaction features like chats, calls, and channels within the app.
