How can i add labels to users in auth, using User ID?

[analog summit]

This didnt work either

I have looked at https://appwrite.io/docs/products/auth/labels but cant solve it anyways

[analog summit]

(HELP) How can i add labels to users in auth, using User ID?

[peak karma]

How can i add labels to users in auth, using User ID?

[peak karma]

what do you mean it didn't work?

[peak karma]

this is also databases.updateDocument(). not users.updateLabels() like the docs mention

[peak karma]

whne asking for help, it's best to be detailed rather than just saying "it didn't work"

[analog summit]

I have this error when trying to use the users.updateLabels @peak karma

[analog summit]

Or must i use the sdk and some api?

[gilded brook]

Client SDK does not have "users"

You must use the server sdk

[analog summit]

Alright, how would you build the export function? appreciate the help!

[analog summit]

This correct then?

[analog summit]

I made a new sdk.ts like this and it worked once but is it any cooldowns or stuff with appwrite? Sometimes it don't add the label

[peak karma]

im not sure what you mean by cooldowns

[peak karma]

please make sure you are not adding this code client side. an api key should NEVER be used client side because it exposes the api key

so in your case, anyone can give themselves that premium label or remove labels or fetch everyone's user data

[analog summit]

yeah i understand, i have not used 'use client' in any of it

[analog summit]

idk but i tryed to subscribe 10 times and 2 times i got the label

[peak karma]

you're using NEXT_PUBLIC_ so that risks leaking it client side

[analog summit]

Okey, but how can i extract it from .env.local otherwise?

[peak karma]

try adding some logging to try to see what's going on

[peak karma]

https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/configuring/environment-variables

[analog summit]

This is my updateUserLabels.ts according to the docs and i get the message that it works, but the labels in auth is not updating. Any clue? tnx

(all the client info is correct)

Why cant i just add "premium"?(admin and mvp works)

[gilded brook]

Wdym? Premium works for me

[analog summit]

Its so strange and glitchy. Sometimes it updates label and sometimes it just keeps the old one

if i totaly change the label and rerun it, it updates. If u just change 1 character or some it just keeps the old one

and i never get the premium label to apply

only "PREMIUM"

[gilded brook]

Can you try manually via Postman

[analog summit]

Can u see if i made any misstakes?

[analog summit]

and yes "Premium" works but not "premium"

[gilded brook]

What if you do it in the console?

It works for me in all cases and in the database it is also stored correctly.

[analog summit]

i only use Auth atm, removed it from db. Idk this error is so weird

The response also says that it has uppdated correctly and that the label is "premium" but appwrite auth is not uppdated

[gilded brook]

Can you please try it out manually first?

So we can at least single some causes out

[analog summit]

With Postman?

[gilded brook]

Console or/and Postman

[analog summit]

It says in the response that labels is premium

and its localhost

[gilded brook]

What did you screenshot?

[analog summit]

the server side console

[gilded brook]

So it works as expected? But not if you do that via your frontend?

[analog summit]

the console works yes but appwrite don't update

that is the weird part, and i have zero errors

[gilded brook]

???

What is appwrite in this case?

[analog summit]

The Label in Auth dont update sometimes, even if the console says that is has updated

The console has always sad that is worked and the label updated to the new one, but in Auth label it only update sometimes

[gilded brook]

How do you determine that it has not updated?

[analog summit]

I refresh appwrite page and se if the new label is on the profile

[gilded brook]

appwrite page = appwrite console auth tab?

[analog summit]

I am on appwrite-auth and on my profile and looking at the label section

I refresh this side, and only sometimes it has been updated

[gilded brook]

Can you open try again in a new browser? Or private mode?

What browser is this?

[analog summit]

Chrome

[gilded brook]

And that only happens to premium in lowercase?

[analog summit]

i have never got "premium" to be applied. And it never works if you change the label to something similar as you had before, example "Sub" to "Subscription"

it only works then i change label to something totaly diffrent

and in the server console it always says that it worked and the new label is applied, but in reality, its not always applied

its so unpredictable and that is why i cant figure it out

it is just like appwrite is glitching randomly

[gilded brook]

Please provide a step by step guide where you are certain that this always happens

In bulletpoints

Because what you described sounds really weird

[analog summit]

yeah i know

this is my return/page.tsx either way.

import { stripe } from "../utils/stripe";
import { updateUserLabels } from "@/lib/updateUserLabels";

interface SearchParams {
session_id: string;
}

async function getSession(sessionId: string) {
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(sessionId);
return session;
}

export default async function CheckoutReturn({ searchParams }: { searchParams: SearchParams }) {
const sessionId = searchParams.session_id;
const session = await getSession(sessionId);
const userId = session.client_reference_id;

console.log("Retrieved session:", session);

if (session?.payment_status === "paid" && userId) {
console.log("Payment is successful, updating user labels...");
await updateUserLabels(userId, 'premium');
} else {
console.log("Payment is not successful or user ID is missing.");
}

return (
<div className="flex items-center justify-center min-h-screen">
<div className="bg-white p-6 rounded-lg shadow-md w-full max-w-md text-center">
{session?.payment_status === "unpaid" ? (
<div>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Payment Failed</h2>
<p className="text-red-500">Payment did not work. Please try again.</p>
</div>
) : session?.payment_status === "paid" ? (
<div>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Thank You!</h2>
<p className="text-green-500">We appreciate your subscription!</p>
<p>Your Stripe customer ID is: <span className="font-mono">{session.customer as string}</span></p>
<p>Your User ID is: <span className="font-mono">{session.client_reference_id}</span></p>
</div>
) : (
<div>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Processing Payment</h2>
<p>Please wait while we process your payment.</p>
</div>
)}
</div>
</div>
);
}

and updateUserLabels.ts

[analog summit]

Can you show me how you have set up the structure? I give up on appwrite soon, the old database was so stright forward

Really appreciate the effort and support anyways

[gilded brook]

In all honesty this is a really weird issue and I can't pinpoint where the issue is. Your code does not say say much nor does it look wrong on first glance. You have to provide as much information as possible in order to make debugging easier. I can't reproduce this on my end so you have to provide a step for step guide when this error happens.

[peak karma]

What do you mean Appwrite don't update? So you:

1. Went to the user in the Appwrite console
2. Updated labels to be premium
3. Clicked update
4. Refreshed the page and...

[analog summit]

No i run the code to add label to the user i min auth. And after my server side console says that it worked, i go to appwrite and refresh the page, and sometimes there is no label added to the user/or the old label is still there.

[analog summit]

yeah i understand, sry that i cant provide more information

[gilded brook]

So to clarify. This only happens when you run "your" code?

The one you sent in the chat?

[analog summit]

Now i got something intressting, look

This is my console in vscode

And now i tryed something completly diffrent. And the label is uppdated

And now i try "premium" but it has not uppdated in appwrite

• i dont even have admin label

maby the user has old labels that i cant see on appwrite website? is there any way to print all labels added to user?

[gilded brook]

Can you please log the response from users.get as well please

[analog summit]

It seems like that was the problem, i can see admin and premium label already

but i cant see it on appwrite website

can i clear all labels somehow?

[gilded brook]

lmao this is some weird shit

what sdk and skd version is this? let me check the source code of it real quick

[analog summit]

do updateLabels append the new label or removes all old and add one new?

[gilded brook]

Drop all the complexity and start a new project and just execute that flow without anything else

[gilded brook]

It replaces the previous labels.

Like with all arrays in appwrite. In documents or user prefs

It always does a full update

[analog summit]

alright, idk why the admin label is there then

but this process works for you with appwrite?

[gilded brook]

Yes

There should not be admin in the first place when you never gave the user that value

[gilded brook]

Can you please answer my question

[gilded brook]

SDK is all good

Idk honestly

[analog summit]

yeah me neither. Will try the process with another account and se if admin label still is there, ik that on this account i have had admin label before

Alright, it works with premium on another account, where i got no labels before

[analog summit]

can it has anything to do with my other appwrite.ts file where i createUsers and do all the other stuff? idk all have to be sdk or something

because i saw in the documentation create user with the sdk, but i dont use sdk when i create my users

[gilded brook]

You have to go through your whole code

I can't debug this for you

[analog summit]

I understand but do you know if i have to always use sdk?

[gilded brook]

I don't understand what you mean

How else would you like to interact with the API?

[analog summit]

i saw this in the documentation.

but i dont use sdk.

[analog summit]

Now i found something that could be the issue. When i log await users.get(userId) and have added "admin and mvp" on the website to the user, it still says in the console that the user dont have any labels, but the user information is correct. just like there is dual users with just diffrent labels. And i see one in appwrite and update one with the sdk.

I made this test.

and this is the response in console.

just like the labels don't apply

and on the appwrite website i now got "admin" label, after all the code was compiled

just like something with appwrite is glitching

[peak karma]

Right after you run this, please share a screenshot of the user in the appwrite console

Please share a screenshot of the full window, including the url in the browser address bar

[peak karma]

Before you call the update labels, please also log users.client.config.project

[analog summit]

Now i runned this.

Sometimes it updates the label to premium and sometimes not, but it always says that it successfully updated

this is the return/page.tsx part

And it always return succcess

this is the appwrite console url

[peak karma]

Open the user and share the URL of that page

Do you have any call to update labels anywhere else?

[analog summit]

https://cloud.appwrite.io/console/project-6673dffd002ac9665431/auth/user-6684223cdf451d280c7a

[analog summit]

No i only use it once

[peak karma]

Would you please open the browser dev tools and use the network inspector to look for the network request for the user and share the response

[analog summit]

Do you mean this? @peak karma

[peak karma]

I meant in the Appwrite console

[analog summit]

How can i find browser dev tools in appwrite console? Or do you mean Vercel logs where i host it?

[peak karma]

The browser dev tools are on the right in this screenshot

[analog summit]

Yes but what do you mean with appwrite console then?

this page i suppose?

[peak karma]

Yes, this is the Appwrite Console

[analog summit]

So what did you mean with this? don't understand what i need to send

where can i find the "network request for the user and share the response"

[peak karma]

Browse to the page of the user, open the dev tools, refresh the page, and look for the network request that returns the user

[analog summit]

the page don't fetch the user, it sends userId threw session

from the subscription page, to return page

[peak karma]

Go to the appwrite console page for the user

[peak karma]

This one

[analog summit]

Yes, and now?

[peak karma]

Did you do the rest of this?

[analog summit]

You mean this?

this is the response for the first one.

[peak karma]

There should be a fetch call that returns the user as JSON

[analog summit]

This one?

[peak karma]

Does the response look like JSON for that?

It would help to filter for fetch/xhr requests

[analog summit]

Yes i have done that

this is JSON in that response

[peak karma]

That is some JavaScript code, but that is not JSON of the user

[analog summit]

this "account" response then?

[peak karma]

This is JSON, but it is not the user

[peak karma]

This user

Btw, it's best to use 3 back ticks with multi-line code. See https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting

[peak karma]

K now go through the flow in your app to update the labels to premium and then refresh the page in the Appwrite Console so you get this data again

[analog summit]

Yes it seems to work now, have done it 4 times.

But it has been working sometimes before and all suddenly it just stops to work

4 in a row is record anyways

And now i only worked 1 time on the macbook, the 2th time it didnt update.

[peak karma]

Did you set it to admin before running the test?

[analog summit]

Yes i always change back to admin before
