⚡ Write a generateMap() Function using Deno

[PineappleIOnic]

💭 Introduction

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

The backbone of Appwrite Functions is Open Runtimes, an environment for serverless cloud computing. Since all Open Runtime functions are valid Appwrite functions, we are looking for contributors to extend the Open Runtimes Examples repository.

Your task is to implement generateMap() function using Deno. Please make sure to look at existing function examples and use them as a template for your function. This will help you keep the proper structure as well as provide information on how to test the function.

⚡ Function Details

Generate a screenshot of map location. Introduce support for openstreets. If necessary, introduce their secret keys as function variables. Provider to use, latitude and longitude should be received as payload, and a screenshot in base64 format should be returned.

Example function payload:

{"provider":"openstreets","lat":41.909986,"lng":12.3959136}

Successful function response:

{"success":true,"image":"iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaQAAALiCAY...QoH9hbkTPQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="}

Error function response:

{"success":false,"message":"Latitude must be a valid number between -90 and 90."}

🎯 Requirements

• Experience with Appwrite.
• Experience with Deno.
• Knowledge to implement generateMap function.
• Experience with Docker.

✅ Task Summary

• Ask to be assigned to the issue.
• Implement function generateMap() in Deno/ folder.
• Manually execute the newly implemented function to ensure it works.
• Submit a pull request in open-runtimes/examples and include screenshots of successful execution.

If you have questions, need any help, or just want to hang out, make sure to join us on our Discord server.

Happy Appwriting!

Please clear the following doubts.

• Do you want an URL of the images from the function?
• Is it okay if cdn links of the images is returned?
• Do you want the images to be downloaded?
• If those images should be downloaded then how to save those?
