# Appwrite Console
SvelteKit web dashboard for Appwrite. Manages projects, databases, functions, auth, storage, messaging, and sites. Static SPA (no SSR) served behind Nginx at `/console`.
## Commands
All commands use **bun** (not pnpm/npm). Use `bun run
```
Runes (Svelte 5 -- preferred for new and modified code):
```svelte
```
### SDK usage (`src/lib/stores/sdk.ts`)
Four client instances: `clientConsole` (console API), `scopedConsoleClient` (region-scoped console API, used by `forConsoleIn()`), `clientProject` (project API, admin mode), `clientRealtime` (realtime subscriptions). Region-aware endpoints with subdomain routing (fra., nyc., syd., sfo., sgp., tor.).
```typescript
import { sdk } from '$lib/stores/sdk';
// Console-level operations
await sdk.forConsole.account.get();
// Region-scoped console operations
await sdk.forConsoleIn(region).projects.get({ projectId });
// Project-level operations (admin mode)
await sdk.forProject(region, projectId).tablesDB.listTables();
```
### Database types (feat-dedicated-db)
The databases feature unifies multiple database backends behind a polymorph API (`$database/(entity)/helpers/sdk.ts`):
| Type | Entity | Field | Record | Status |
| ------------- | ---------- | --------- | -------- | ----------------------- |
| `tablesdb` | table | column | row | Implemented |
| `documentsdb` | collection | attribute | document | Implemented |
| `vectorsdb` | -- | -- | -- | Not yet implemented |
| `dedicateddb` | table | column | row | Cross-repo (cloud/edge) |
- `useDatabaseSdk()` returns a unified interface regardless of backing type
- `useTerminology()` returns singular/plural names for the current database type
### Data loading
Load functions declare dependencies for cache invalidation via `depends()`:
```typescript
export const load: LayoutLoad = async ({ depends, parent, params }) => {
depends(Dependencies.DATABASE);
return { database: await sdk.forProject(...).tablesDB.get(...) };
};
```
Invalidate with `await invalidate(Dependencies.DATABASE)` after mutations. The `Dependencies` enum in `src/lib/constants.ts` defines 66+ keys for fine-grained cache invalidation (e.g. `DATABASES`, `TABLES`, `FUNCTIONS`, `USERS`, `DEPLOYMENTS`).
### State management
Stores in `src/lib/stores/` -- writable, derived, and "conservative" (selective update via `createConservative()` from `$lib/helpers/stores`) patterns. Key stores: `app`, `user`, `organization`, `projects`, `billing`, `wizard`, `notifications`, `sdk`.
### Wizard pattern (`$lib/stores/wizard`)
Modal wizard flow: `wizard.start(Component, media?, step?, props?)` to open, `wizard.hide()` to close. Methods: `setInterceptor(callback)` for async pre-step validation, `setNextDisabled(bool)` for flow control, `setStep(n)` / `updateStep(cb)` for navigation, `showCover(Component)` for overlays.
### Notifications (`$lib/stores/notifications`)
```typescript
import { addNotification } from '$lib/stores/notifications';
addNotification({ type: 'error', message: error.message });
```
Types: `'success' | 'error' | 'info' | 'warning'`. Auto-dismisses after 6s. Max 5 visible.
### Analytics (`$lib/actions/analytics`)
Plausible + custom Growth endpoint. Track events via `trackEvent(Click.* | Submit.*, data)` and errors via `trackError(exception, Submit.*)`. Respects `navigator.doNotTrack`.
### Theming and modes
Four theme variants in `src/themes/`: `light`, `dark`, `light-cloud`, `dark-cloud`. Resolved based on `isCloud` flag and user preference. Two modes (`src/lib/system.ts`): `cloud` and `self-hosted`, set via `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_MODE` env var. Gate features using `isCloud` (for cloud-only) or `isSelfHosted` (for self-hosted-only).
## Code style
- **Formatter:** Prettier -- 4 spaces, single quotes, no trailing commas, 100 char width, bracket same line
- **Prefer Svelte 5 runes** in new and modified code (`$props()`, `$state()`, `$derived()`, `$effect()`)
- Types from `@appwrite.io/console` SDK (`Models`, `Query`, enums) -- don't redefine what the SDK provides
- Error handling: try/catch with `addNotification()` for user-facing errors, `trackError()` for analytics
- Queries use the SDK's `Query` builder: `Query.equal()`, `Query.limit()`, `Query.offset()`, etc.
- Mark tech debt with `@todo` annotations, never `@fixme`
- Don't add new dependencies without consulting the team
## Environment variables
Set via `.env` (copy `.env.example`). All prefixed with `PUBLIC_` for SvelteKit:
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_MODE` | `self-hosted` | `cloud` or `self-hosted` |
| `PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT` | `http://localhost/v1` | API endpoint |
| `PUBLIC_APPWRITE_MULTI_REGION` | `false` | Multi-region support |
| `PUBLIC_STRIPE_KEY` | -- | Stripe public key (cloud only) |
| `PUBLIC_GROWTH_ENDPOINT` | -- | Analytics endpoint |
| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_FEATURE_FLAGS` | -- | Feature flags |
| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_MOCK_AI_SUGGESTIONS` | `true` | Mock AI in dev |
## Common pitfalls
- **Blank page in dev:** Disable ad blockers if seeing "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module"
- **OOM on build:** Set `NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192`
- **Test failures:** Always use `bun run tests` (runs test:unit with TZ=EST, plus test:e2e), not `bun test` directly
- **TS errors not showing:** Run `bun run check` explicitly (dev server doesn't always surface them)
- **Format vs lint conflicts:** Run `bun run format` before `bun run lint`
- **Stale build:** Clear `.svelte-kit` if changes not reflected: `rm -rf .svelte-kit && bun run build`
## Branch naming
`TYPE-ISSUE_ID-DESCRIPTION` (e.g. `feat-548-add-backup-ui`). Types: feat, fix, doc, cicd, refactor.
## Cross-repo context
The `feat-dedicated-db` feature spans cloud, edge, and console. When modifying API contracts or response models, check the other repos for breaking changes.
