Trying to send html to client from server using appwrite function not working...
Hi, my problem is that this code works:
TypeScript
import { Client, Account } from 'node-appwrite';
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1')
.setProject(PROJECT_ID)
const account = new Account(client);
export default async ({ req, res, log, error }) => {
// get the query parameters, userId and secret from the url
const { userId, secret } = req.query
const result = await account.updateVerification(userId, secret)
// Respond with success or failure
if (result.userId === userId) {
// if the verification is successful
return res.send('Verification successful')
} else {
// if the verification fails
return res.send('Verification failed', 400)
}
}
but if I want to respond with styled html by replacing the if condition content with the following:
TypeScript
if (result.userId === userId) {
// If the verification successful, send HTML
const htmlContent = `
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Verification Success</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>Verification Successful!</h1>
<p>Your account has been successfully verified.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
`;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html');
return res.send(htmlContent);
I don't get the html, and instead just get:
This page isn’t working ********************.appwrite.global is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500
Note, the verification does still work, its just the webpage that isn't displaying.
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR
The developers are trying to send HTML from server to client using an Appwrite function but facing issues. The solution involves setting headers and using the correct format for sending the HTML content in the response. Instead of just setting the header, they should use `res.send(htmlContent, 200, { "content-type": "text/html" })`. 
It should be
TypeScript
return res.send(htmlContent, 200, {
"content-type", "text/html"
}
Appwrite doesn't set headers like that
