Breaking Changes

Permissions

• Split write into create, update and delete.
• Removed $read and $write attributes from Documents model
• New $permissions array attribute added in Documents model. All permissions go in this array now.
• New syntax to represent various permission types in the $permissions array.
• New helper class included in SDKs for Permission and Role
• You can now use both collection/bucket level permissions and document/file level permissions. They are now applied with OR logic, meaning access granted at either level is enough.
• Added toggle for file/document level permission.
  Here are some examples of the new SDK Permission class

Permission.read() // read a resource
Permission.update() // update a resource
Permission.delete() // delete a resource
Permission.create() // create new resources
Permission.write() // alias for update delete and create

Here's are some examples of the new Role class

Role.any()
Role.guests()
Role.users()
Role.user([USER_ID])
Role.team([TEAM_ID])
Role.team([TEAM_ID], [ROLE])

Queries, Indexs, and Pagination

• New Query helper class in SDK
• Pagination is now a part of queries. You can use query methods to express pagination
• Indexes are now more flexible. Queries provided no longer need to be provided in the exact order as the index.

Here are the new methods:

DateTime Attribute

• New DateTime attribute following ISO 8601 in UTC Timezone
• Timestamps returned by all Appwrite models will now also follow DateTime convention
