[silent meteor]

Afaik, the return value might be a String. You'll have to convert it into an array first.

[quasi light]

it is an array

Is there anything wrong

[idle bone]

show your code

[quasi light]

This is appwrite file

[idle bone]

what does cartItem attribute say?

also, can you tell me if cartItem is always a number?

[quasi light]

It returns all the document from addtocart collection

[quasi light]

cartitems are array list

[idle bone]

well cartitems is expecting a string and you're not giving that

[quasi light]

how do i do that

cartitems is string

[idle bone]

so cartItem is an array in your code right?

[quasi light]

yes

[idle bone]

why is it a string

shouldn't it be []

[quasi light]

line 288 returns this data

[quasi light]

.

[idle bone]

could you send an image of all attributes in there?

[idle bone]

this

[quasi light]

This is addtocart collection

[idle bone]

your browser array console.log

i need that

[idle bone]

expand this

[quasi light]

which attribute

[idle bone]

just the first object in that array

[idle bone]

not in your appwrite instance

in your browser console

[quasi light]

okay

[quasi light]

This data returned by line 288

[idle bone]

this is from createDocument yeah?

[quasi light]

no

[idle bone]

from where then?

[quasi light]

listdocument

can i call you and explain all this

[idle bone]

huh

i mean no need, but listDocuments shouldn't give you this error

are you sure it's from listing?

[quasi light]

yes

[idle bone]

could you lower this size?

[quasi light]

u mean array size

[idle bone]

the size, yes

in the appwrite attribute

[idle bone]

In the appwrite instance :/

[quasi light]

Let me explain u the code

[idle bone]

You see this?
Go here, delete the attribute and recreate it with a lower size

[silent meteor]

deleting would cause the attributes data to be lost, right?

[idle bone]

correct

[quasi light]

yes

[idle bone]

but his listing does not work at all, so my guess is it's empty

[quasi light]

it is not empty

[idle bone]

you could male a second collection

[quasi light]

inside the array there is data

[idle bone]

in appwrite?

[quasi light]

yes

[idle bone]

do you need that data? or can you recreate it

[quasi light]

i dont need the data but

deleting the attributes might cause the issue

[idle bone]

then just delete that attribute and recreate it with a lower size

[quasi light]

the n what will be the further process

[idle bone]

why?

[quasi light]

i need to do that again

that's why

let me send you my code screenshot okay

okay or not

[idle bone]

I mean, sure, but i doubt i can do anything with it

[quasi light]

and this is appwrite config

[idle bone]

cannot do anything with this

[idle bone]

i think you need to do this, try it out

make a new collection with dummy documents also works

[quasi light]

bro you messing thing up

[silent meteor]

assuming you are getting the error here?

[quasi light]

you cannot come with proper solution

[idle bone]

he said listDocuments

is giving him the error lol

[idle bone]

.

[quasi light]

only the issue is that when i try to place the cartitem parameter value
and the error occur

[idle bone]

so his entire code does not matter, just that aopwrite has a connection and it's fetching

[idle bone]

so it's when creating a document then?

[quasi light]

yes

[idle bone]

bro

why did you say listdocuments then

[silent meteor]

exactly

[quasi light]

due to cartItem value

[idle bone]

[quasi light]

the error is occuring

due to cartItem value

[silent meteor]

a get method has nothing to do with what the type is as long as the data type matches the attribute type.

[quasi light]

which is in the form of an array

[idle bone]

apparently it's his createdocument.. bruh

[quasi light]

that causing the issue

else everything works fine

[idle bone]

i don't think he knows himself 😂

[silent meteor]

yupp. my man said listDocs as issue hence this lot of confusion.

[idle bone]

yep

[silent meteor]

let me see the screenshots.

[quasi light]

which one

[silent meteor]

hang on a minute.

[silent meteor]

i'll check all uploaded here, wait a few mins. pl.

[quasi light]

okay

[silent meteor]

cartItem is an array in your code, right?

[quasi light]

yes

[silent meteor]

and it seems its an Object of a custom type and not string.

[quasi light]

and just need that array list to orderItem database collection

[quasi light]

how do I do that

guide me through solution

please

[silent meteor]

each object inside your array must be converted to a string I guess.

[atomic carbon]

Where you're using createDocument the value for cartItem needs to look something like this:
cartItem: [JSON.stringify(cartItem)]

[idle bone]

the stringify might actually be it

[atomic carbon]

From what I can tell, it looks like you're trying to insert an entire object into a string[], you'll just need to remember to use JSON.parse() when fetching that cartItem data later

[silent meteor]

yess

If the cart item objects are more than just strings, OP is better off using relations.

atleast the exact structure would be maintained.

[atomic carbon]

Relationships could work here as well, definitely! Could even just reference an ID of another document if you wanted to wait until relationships were out of beta

[silent meteor]

This is true, referencing the ID is a go to as I've had the whole collection freezing sometimes when an item with relations is deleted.

[idle bone]

lol

[atomic carbon]

Yeah, I've had some performance issues with relationships in the past so I tend to stick with just using IDs until it's out of beta

[idle bone]

same

[idle bone]

@quasi light Did Ryan's fix resolve your issue?

[quasi light]

Yes it worked

[idle bone]

Great!

Would you mind marking it as solved by adding [SOLVED] to the beginning of the title?

Have an appwrite day!

[quasi light]

but one issue is there

[idle bone]

What's up?

[quasi light]

the data is saved in incorrect form

not in proper json file

[idle bone]
