💥 Introduction

🛠️ Local development

That's pretty easy. To ensure that you are able to install everything properly, we would recommend you to have Git, NPM and Node.js installed.

We will first start with setting up the Local Project Environment:

git clone git@github.com:apoorvdwi/Idea-Xchange.git
cd Idea-Xchange/appwrite
docker-compose up -d --renew-anon-volumes

Create a account in the appwrite console and create a project inside it.

1. From Authentication, enable the google authentication.

2. Create a database with 2 collections, Ideas and Discussions.

Discussions Collection contains 2 fields:

column name	type	required	array
ideaId	string	true	false
comments	string	false	true

Ideas Collection contains 9 fields:

column name	type	required	array	default value
title	string	true	false	-
discussionId	string	true	false	-
userId	string	true	false	-
category	string	true	false	-
upvotes	string	false	true	-
pay	string	false	true	-
username	string	true	false	-
likesCount	integer	false	false	0
payCount	integer	false	false	0

Add the following permission settings in both the collections

Copy the .env.example content to .env.local and update the environment variables with corresponding Ids from appwrite console

Once you run the Commands and get environment variables and everything fine, we are all set to run the app ✔️

On the root level run the following command:
