🚀 Feature: Add Sync with Meilisearch for Kotlin

[gewenyu99]

Appwrite Functions allow you to extend and customize your Appwrite server functionality by executing your custom code. 🤩 You can learn more at our official Appwrite Functions docs.

Your task is to implement the Sync with Meilisearch function in Kotlin. You can look at the existing Appwrite Functions Templates in another coding language.

Your function should behave and be implemented similarly to existing Sync with Meilisearch Node.js template.

Tasks summary:

• Fork & clone Appwrite's templates repository
• Create a branch feat-implement-sync-with-meilisearch-kotlin
• Write code for the function in folder kotlin/sync-with-meilisearch/.
• Test the function using Appwrite, provide a video.
• Write a README.md explaining what the function does, how to use it, and customize it. Here is an example.
• Submit a pull request to our templates repository

If you need any help, contact us on our Discord server.

What static files do you need to serve?

[ShamanthOP]

@gewenyu99 HTML file 🔗

[gewenyu99]

Ohhh coool, @ShamanthOP can I see your code?

[ShamanthOP]

Hey @gewenyu99 Check this out #234

[gewenyu99]

@ShamanthOP I don't see anything obviously wrong. How about this, try these steps and see where it fails:

1. Return a plain response
2. Return a "

   HELLOOOOO

   " string as HTML
3. Return a static HTML without the Util functions.
4. Use your util functions.

I'm wondering where the problem might lie, lmk!

[ShamanthOP]

Hey @gewenyu99 the current code in #234 is working fine. The problem is that I'm not able to read the HTML file from say static/index.html (support post)

Ahhh I see. @ShamanthOP The root directory isn't going to be relative from your code folder because your function is invoked from a runtime that treats it as a dependency. So the root level directory is going to be different.

Is there a way to normalize paths? Maybe try this, print the path of ./ and experiment with where your paths are based from.
