Let's Retrieve Our Data! 📑

We've managed to insert new data into this vast database forest, and now all that's left is to harvest it to display it! Because well... data in a database is good, data in a database displayed on our interface is even better!

Retrieving Documents 🗂️

To do this, you can complete the getCoordinatesList function to retrieve all the coordinates from our collection so that they can be displayed directly on AppVenture.

Solution ✅

import {database} from '../../config/client.config'; 
import {EnvConfig} from '../../config/env.config'; 

export const getCoordinatesList = async (): Promise<Coordinates[]> => {
  try {
    const {documents} = await database.listDocuments<Coordinates>( 
      EnvConfig.databaseId, 
      EnvConfig.coordinatesCollectionId, 
    ); 

    return documents; 
  } catch (error: any) {
    throw new AppwriteException(error);
  }
};

import {database} from '../../config/client.config'; 
import {EnvConfig} from '../../config/env.config'; 

export const getCoordinatesList = async (): Promise<Coordinates[]> => {
  try {
    const {documents} = await database.listDocuments<Coordinates>( 
      EnvConfig.databaseId, 
      EnvConfig.coordinatesCollectionId, 
    ); 

    return documents; 
  } catch (error: any) {
    throw new AppwriteException(error);
  }
};

Once the retrieval function is implemented, you should be able to see the different coordinates directly on AppVenture 🎉

However, with all our testing, it's possible that some incorrect documents have been inserted into the database. Let's continue our journey; maybe we'll find a solution...

💟 Info Bonus : Different Data Retrieval Solutions

In this workshop, everything goes through Appwrite's various SDKs. However, you also have the option to access your data through two other methods:

With REST API calls
With GraphQL

And the best part is that interaction with Appwrite through GraphQL or REST is available for all modules, except the authentication module for GraphQL, all without any configuration! 🤩
