Appwrite Client Initialization

When to use this skill

  • Setting up the initial SDK connection.
  • Creating instances for client components vs. server actions.

Workflow

  • Query context7 for the latest singleton pattern.
  • Create lib/​appwrite.ts for shared client instance.
  • Create lib/​server/​appwrite.ts for server-side SDK (using API Key).

Code Template (Client Context)

import { Client, Account, Databases, Storage } from 'appwrite';

export const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT!)
    .setProject(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID!);

export const account = new Account(client);
export const databases = new Databases(client);
export const storage = new Storage(client);

Instructions

  • Singleton: Export single instances of services to avoid multiple connections.
  • Server Side: Use node-appwrite in server actions with the secret API key.
