name: initializing-appwrite-client description: Initializes the Appwrite Client using Singleton or Provider patterns for Next.js 15. Use whenever setting up the backend connection.

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.
