[SOLVED] Add a default team for new User and adding verified role for verified email account | Appwrite | Page 1

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

My goal is to create a function which give a default team for new user call 'user' Team. And when the user verify his email, another function gave him the role 'verified'

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 3:35 PM

#

You'll need to create two functions.

On user create
On user verified

If you look here
https://appwrite.io/docs/functions#functionVariables
You can see the list of all the variables that can be sent to your function.

Additionally, you can add custom variables like APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID for example in your function Settings page.

What is the function api key ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 3:41 PM

#

When accessing Appwrite
You can do it in one of two ways:

Server side
Client side
https://appwrite.io/docs/sdks

In function you'll usaully use the Server side.
The server side has much more capabilities and no rate-limit on number of requests.

But, for that you'll need to create an Api key in the project overview page.
https://appwrite.io/docs/keys

Okay I understand the benefit of using server side against client side. So I have to create an API KEY with Function permissions right ? Like this ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

In your case you'll need the Auth one.
As you want the function to have access to some Auth functions.

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

Okay well only Auth ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

Seems like it, yes.

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

Probably a stupid question but there is a way to try locally the function ? I guess I dont have to deploy the function each time right ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

For now, there's no direct way.
You can upvote this one
https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/5425

#

What I'm doing is creating a file named local-server and run it each time with mocked variables, etc.

Okay np but I guess my function will be very simple so

#

Well something like that should work (for the function who add the default Team for new user) ?

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();
  const teams = new sdk.Teams(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    console.warn("Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.");
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }

  const teamId = 'APPWRITE_FUNCTION_TEAM_ID';
  const user = JSON.parse(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA"]);

  try {
    await teams.createTeamMember(teamId, user.$id, ['MEMBER']);
    res.json({ success: `User ${userId} added to the team successfully` });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error adding user to the team:', error);
    res.json({ error: 'Error adding user to the team' });
  }
};

#

But do I have to add the MEMBER rôle ? Or I can leave blank ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

I think the function name is createMembership instead of createTeamMember, like so:

const r = await teams.createMembership(teamID, email, [], 'url');

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

unborn goblet But do I have to add the `MEMBER` rôle ? Or I can leave blank ?

You can leave it empty

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

rich socket You can leave it empty

If I got that :

await teams.createMembership(teamId, user.$id, [], 'url');

How Appwrite gonna know if user.$id its an email or an id ? How can I gave him the two like that :

await teams.createMembership(teamId, user.email, user.$id, [], 'url');

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

Oh, you're right
You'll need to use the email
But you have it

#

So just like this

await teams.createMembership(teamId, user.email, [], 'url');

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

but I have to add the id no ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

No..

#

I know it sounds a bit confusing but it works that way

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

Appwrite gonna make the link between email and the corresponding user id ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

Yes

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

But I can add the user id anyway no (to be sure ahah) ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

The order is a bit different
Check here
https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/5676

#

This is the function declaration.

createMembership(teamId: string, email: string, roles: string[], url: string, name?: string):

#

You don't even have the userId field over there.

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

okay strange. So Im gonna try without

#

There is a way to delete a function with APpwrite CLI ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

delete from the console?

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

I delete a function directly from the web ui of Appwrite but still on my console (on my laptop)

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

rich socket delete from the console?

Yup

#

ohh appwrite.json

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

unborn goblet I delete a function directly from the web ui of Appwrite but still on my console...

Yes,

#

But you mean that is still in your console

#

After you have deleted it?

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

I delete on the APpwrite Web UI. So the solution its go to appwrite.json and delete manually the section of the function

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

Okay

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

unborn goblet Yup

In the folder of your appwrite.json run

appwrite functions delete --functionId FUNCTION_ID

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

ohh that what I was looking for

#

Now I add the user verified function so I just have to add the 'verified' role right ? Like this

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();
  const teams = new sdk.Teams(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    console.warn("Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.");
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }

  const teamId = req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_TEAM_ID"];
  const user = JSON.parse(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA"]);

  if (!user.emailVerification) {
    try {
      await teams.createMembership(teamId, user.email, ['verified'], 'url');
      res.json({ success: `User ${user.name} added to the Verified Role successfully` });
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error adding user to the role:', error);
      res.json({ error: 'Error adding user to the role' });
    }
  }
};

#

Something wrong. When I add this update event :
users.*.verifications.*.update
I got that :

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

Set events like so

  "events" : [
    "users.*.verifications.*.update"
  ]

#

The users.*.verification.*.update returns a Token Object https://appwrite.io/docs/models/token so you need to get the user other way.
Also, you'll need to get the current user membershipId.
And you'll need to use the updateMembershipRoles function.

So in this function you'll need to something like this.

module.exports = async function(req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();
  const teams  = new sdk.Teams(client);
  const users  = new sdk.Users(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    console.warn('Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.');
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }

  const teamId = req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_TEAM_ID'];

  // Getting Token
  const token = JSON.parse(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_EVENT_DATA']);
  // Getting user
  const user  = await users.get(token.userId);

  if (user.emailVerification) {
    try {
      // Getting membership
      const members = teams.listMemberships(teamId, [
        Query.equal('userId', user.$id)
      ]);

      // We have members? we can have only one as we are searching by user ID.
      if (members.total === 1) {
        await teams.updateMembershipRoles(teamId, members.memberships[0].$id, ['verified'], 'url');
        res.json({ success: `User ${user.name} added to the Verified Role successfully` });
      } else {
        throw 'Error looking for a membership user.';
      }

      
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error adding user to the role:', error);
      res.json({ error: 'Error adding user to the role' });
    }
  }
};

If I try to manually verify an account (with Web UI) like that. Do the function gonna be launched ?

#

BEcause there is no execution

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

I'm not sure

#

But looks like it should

#

Have you gave it a try?

#

Sorry,

#

I see that it won't propagate any events, as this will use the Users SDK.

#

When using the client Account SDK then you can see the events being sent
https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/master/app/controllers/api/account.php#L2382

The Users one on the other side just change the value in the DB
https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/master/app/controllers/api/users.php#L959

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

Okay Im gonna chck that. For the function 'user_created', she's executed but there is a problem with this line :
await teams.createMembership(teamId, user.email, [], 'url');
Because ive got this error :
Error adding user to the team

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 5:42 PM

Change to this, so we can get the full error

  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    console.error('Error adding user to the team:');
    res.json({ error: 'Error adding user to the team' });

Maybe the user is already in the team.

#

rich socket Btw what are the specs for the server?

I just wanted some advice. I saw that APpwrite offered a Cloud option in Beta, which may be easier. For now I have a VPS with these specs (Ive take the minimum for the development):
CPU :1 vCore
RAM :0.5 Go
SSD :10 Go

#

Idk what do I need for my app

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

I'm afraid that the 512mb of RAM will hold your Appwrite back, specially when running functions.
Appwrite itself recommend having at least 2GB or RAM, https://appwrite.io/docs/self-hosting
I my self, got really good results with a 1 vcpu 1 gm ram 25 ssd, so maybe this could be a good start for your project.

P.s. at https://www.hetzner.com/cloud you can get really good servers for less the most providers.

And, in many use-cases Appwrite cloud will be the best solution.

We cant know the power of APpwrite cloud right ?

#

I mean specs for each isntance

#

Like that ?

rich socket Jun 16, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

Appwrite cloud uses Docker Swarm (on DigitalOcean) for their stack deployment,
This means that there's no way to know, and even more it's irrelevant, as in Docker Swarm the power is shared among the server in the load balancers.

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 8:33 PM

Okay I just ask because I dont know the good way to launch an app ahah (im student) so if paying a VPS is the best option, Im gonna take a vps

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 8:41 PM

Well this is the first time I've developed an app, I don't necessarily know the possible improvements. But I would tend to say to have only one server for appwrite. And if I need other software or application, I would rent another server, right?

#

Right now the arm server are way more cheaper than the x86

Yes, that sounds right.

Yes, you can try and go ahead with it.

unborn goblet Jun 16, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

rich socket Yes, you can try and go ahead with it.

Finally I have just inquired and the x86 cores are more efficient and powerful than the arm so the number of cores does not mean much I believe

#

There is estimation price of Appwrite Cloud ? Because if is cheaper or evne little expensive, maybe is the best because power adapts to consumption, right?

yeah

#

Because idk yet how add an email verification with smtp provider etc...

#

And I assume you didn't set SMTP, so you can fully test it?

Besides, what the best option for email sending ? Sendgrid ?

SendGrid or https://www.brevo.com/pricing/

#

Bravo gives 300/Free/Daily

#

So either you can configure one of those options.

#

Or
You'll need to do it manually like so:
Create Another function, make it trigger on users.*.verification.*.create, this will run when a verification token is created. log the token.

Using this method https://appwrite.io/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountCreateVerification
Create the verification token.

Now, use the token you have logged and use the 2-step of the verification process https://appwrite.io/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountUpdateVerification
Like so

await account.updateVerification('[USER_ID]', '[SECRET]');

Remember that you'll need to login the user before running any one of those two function.

Now you will trigger the users.*.verification.*.update
