increment/ decrement stock or inventory

[white terrace]

is there any updates on how can i increment a specific attribute; i have a list of products and i have a stock/quantity attribut; how can i update it after each order for each product in that order

No, there’s currently no way to increment or decrement an Attribute in a Document. Discussions about how are ongoing

ok i'll be waiting for this, thank you

You can update by using appwrite functions

[white terrace]

can you show a simple example of how can i do so; or is their any links i can refer to ?

I don't think there are any direct examples of doing this but it shouldn't be hard.

Create a function (you can have this trigger on when a new order is put/deleted in the database)
Pull the current stock count
Increment it by one
save the new stock count

There’s not really any way to do it - without having to work around race conditions
