How to get the database id, collections id and document id in appwrite functions?

[noble rampart]

how can i use something like this?

  Future result = database.getDocument(
    databaseId: '[DATABASE_ID]',
    collectionId: '[COLLECTION_ID]',
    documentId: '[DOCUMENT_ID]',
  );

Check for APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA

Here : https://appwrite.io/docs/functions
Somethings like JSON.parse(req.variables.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA)

[noble rampart]

Do you know any examples of using functions with databases?

You can check some here : https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aappwrite%2Fdemos-for-functions database&type=code

what bout using CRON in functions?

[lofty steeple]

You can set cron either in the function settings screen in the console.
Or, In case you have used Appwrite CLI to create the function, by setting the schedule properly in the appwrite.json file.

I tried functions in settings

but it shows this!

[lofty steeple]

Make sure there is no extra spaces

[noble rampart]

I did but it shows the same warning everytime..

What version of Appwrite it is?
Just ran it in the cloud and seems to work

[vernal viper]

careful about using this repo because it's old and archived

[vernal viper]

i know this was raised and a fix was added so maybe this is only on cloud.

[lofty steeple]

I've tested on the cloud and self hosted. Both worked

[noble rampart]

I'm using cloud version 1.1.2

but i'm still getting this. I couldn't solve it!

Please don't tag the core team.

Something to note is that your exact cron expressions work on my end on cloud and self-hosted. It even works on @lofty steeple's end.

Might sound dumb, but have you tried logging out and back in?

Try the basic things like refreshing your page, etc.

[noble rampart]

Sorry but I had to solve this in order to run my app and i was hoping to get the answer

[noble rampart]

yes tried

[crystal arrow]

Not an issue, please dont do it again though 😄

[crystal arrow]

Weird.
Did you deploy your function with the appwrite cli?

[noble rampart]

this also i tried.. but didn't work

[noble rampart]

yes i did it through cli

was cli developed after version 1.1.2 ?

[crystal arrow]

Okay in that case, you should have a file called appwrite.json. Try setting the cron expression for your function in the appwrite.json file, and redeploy from the cli

Cuz the issue you're getting seems like a frontend validation issue. Doing it through the CLI should fix it

[noble rampart]

Ohh okay will try that!

[crystal arrow]

Let me know how it goes

[noble rampart]

sure will let you know! Thanks alot
