<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$client = new \Appwrite\Client();
$client->setEndpoint($_ENV['APPWRITE_ENDPOINT'])
->setProject($_ENV['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
->setKey($_ENV['APPWRITE_API_KEY']);
$databaseId = $_ENV['APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID'];
$databases = new \Appwrite\Services\Databases($client);
$databases->createCollection($databaseId, 'regions', 'regions');
$databases->createStringAttribute($databaseId, 'regions', 'name', 64, true);
$databases->createStringAttribute($databaseId, 'regions', 'designation', 64, true);
$databases->createIndex($databaseId, 'regions', 'index_name', \Appwrite\Enums\IndexType::UNIQUE(), ['name']);
