Initialize Appwrite SDK

To use Appwrite in our React Native app, you'll need to find our project ID. Find your project's ID in the Settings page.

Create a new file lib/appwrite.js to hold our Appwrite related code. Only one instance of the Client() class should be created per app. Add the following code to it, replacing <PROJECT_ID> with your project ID.

JavaScript
import { Client, TablesDB, Account } from "react-native-appwrite";
const client = new Client();
client
.setEndpoint("https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1")
.setProject("<PROJECT_ID>") // Replace with your project ID
.setPlatform('com.example.idea-tracker');
export const account = new Account(client);
export const tablesDB = new TablesDB(client);
