Appwrite Kotlin SDK

This SDK is compatible with Appwrite server version 0.15.x. For older versions, please check previous releases.

This is the Kotlin SDK for integrating with Appwrite from your Kotlin server-side code. If you're looking for the Android SDK you should check appwrite/sdk-for-android

Appwrite is an open-source backend as a service server that abstract and simplify complex and repetitive development tasks behind a very simple to use REST API. Appwrite aims to help you develop your apps faster and in a more secure way. Use the Kotlin SDK to integrate your app with the Appwrite server to easily start interacting with all of Appwrite backend APIs and tools.

Installation

Gradle

Appwrite's Kotlin SDK is hosted on Maven Central. In order to fetch the Appwrite SDK, add this to your root level build.gradle(.kts) file:

repositories {      
    mavenCentral()
}

If you would like to fetch our SNAPSHOT releases, you need to add the SNAPSHOT maven repository to your build.gradle(.kts):

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
    }
}

Next, add the dependency to your project's build.gradle(.kts) file:

implementation("io.appwrite:sdk-for-kotlin:0.6.0")

Maven

Add this to your project's pom.xml file:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.appwrite</groupId>
        <artifactId>sdk-for-kotlin</artifactId>
        <version>0.6.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Getting Started

Init your SDK

Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID which can be found in your project settings page and your new API secret Key project API keys section.

import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account

suspend fun main() {
    val client = Client(context)
      .setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
      .setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
      .setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
      .setSelfSigned(true) // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
}

Make Your First Request

Once your SDK object is set, create any of the Appwrite service objects and choose any request to send. Full documentation for any service method you would like to use can be found in your SDK documentation or in the API References section.

val users = Users(client)
val response = users.create(
    user = "[USER_ID]",
    email = "[email protected]",
    password = "password",
)
val json = response.body?.string()

Full Example

import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Users

suspend fun main() {
    val client = Client(context)
      .setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
      .setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
      .setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
      .setSelfSigned(true) // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert

    val users = Users(client)
    val response = users.create(
        user = "[USER_ID]",
        email = "[email protected]",
        password = "password",
    )
    val json = response.body?.string()
}

Error Handling

The Appwrite Kotlin SDK raises AppwriteException object with message, code and response properties. You can handle any errors by catching AppwriteException and present the message to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.

import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Users

suspend fun main() {
    val users = Users(client)
    try {
        val response = users.create(
            user = "[USER_ID]",
            email = "[email protected]",
            password = "password",
        )
        var jsonString = response.body?.string() ?: ""

    } catch (e: AppwriteException) {
        println(e)
    }
}
