How to create account using just with phone number with appwrite?

Question

void _handleRegister() async {
    try {
      // Create the user with the phone number and name
      await _account.create(
        userId: ID.unique(),
        phone: _phoneNumberController.text, // the error as no parameter called phone 
        name: _nameController.text,
      );
      // Navigate to the desired screen after successful registration
    } catch (e) {
      // Handle the error
      print('Error: $e');
    }
  }

the error in parameter phone as it isn't in the model

I tried to add a phone to the model but I damaged it

how can I do that and modify

Answer 1

as the error says, there is no parameter phone in _account.create method. for using phone number as authentication, do the following:

the phone authentication requires a two-step process:

send sms code

import { Client, Account, ID } from "appwrite";

const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1')
    .setProject('<PROJECT_ID>');

const account = new Account(client);

const sessionToken = await account.createPhoneSession(
    ID.unique(),
    '+14255550123'
);

const userId = sessionToken.userId;

then login with the secret that the user gets per sms.

login

import { Client, Account, ID } from "appwrite";

const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1')
    .setProject('<PROJECT_ID>');

const account = new Account(client);

const session = await account.updatePhoneSession(
    userId,
    '[SECRET]'
);
