Hi everyone, sorry for asking a simple question here. I'm building a blog website with Appwrite, and I want to increment the like count stored in the database.
In MongoDB, I can use $inc, and in SQL-based databases, I can use an UPDATE query to achieve this.
My question is: how can I do this in Appwrite? The only workaround I can think of right now is to retrieve the count from the database, increment it in my code, and then update the database. However, I feel this might not be ideal for performance.
Summary
To increment integers in Appwrite, you can use the $inc operation. This is similar to how you would do it in MongoDB. It's recommended to avoid retrieving the count from the database and instead perform the increment operation directly.
