I developing a course app while creating a course I got this following error which appears, I try to change structure of my code but it fails. Using Nextjs
TypeScript
export const createCourse = async (course: Course) => { const {course_id } = course; const now = new Date().toISOString(); const validCourseId = generateValidPostId(course_id); const videoId = generateValidId(); console.log('Creating course', course); try { const { databases, storage } = await createAdminClient(); if (!databases || !storage) { throw new Error("Failed to initialize Appwrite databases or storage clients"); } console.log('Database and storage clients initialized'); if (!course.video) { throw new Error('Course video is required'); }; const courseVideo = await storage.createFile(postAttachementBucket, videoId, course.video); console.log('Course video uploaded', courseVideo); const modules = await databases.createDocument(db, courseCollection, validCourseId, { ...course, user_id: course.user_id, video: courseVideo.$id, created_at: now, update_at: now, }); console.log('Course created', modules); return parseStringify(modules); } catch (error) { console.log('Error creating course', error); }};the following function is parseStringify
TypeScript
export function parseStringify(data: unknown) { if (typeof data === "string") { try { return JSON.parse(data); } catch (err: unknown) { if (err instanceof Error) { console.error("Error parsing JSON:", err.message); } else { console.error("Error parsing JSON: unknown error"); } throw new Error("Failed to parse user data."); // Optional: throw an error if parsing fails } } return data; // Return data as is if already an object}Summary
Developers encountered an error while creating a document in a course app using Node.js SDK in a Next.js project. The code includes a function to create a course document and a helper function called parseStringify. The error could be due to issues within the createCourse function or the parseStringify function.
