🚀 Feature: restrict unsupported characters for project ID.

[byawitz]

🔖 Feature description

As of now, Appwrite's using flutter_web_auth_2 for managing OAuth2 login within any Flutter app.

This package has some limitations on what character project ID can have, as you can see here.

It will be good to have one of these.

1. A complete restriction on what project id characters
2. No restriction at all. But, some note that says something like so:

Be aware that Project ID cannot contain special characters if you're planning to use Flutter and OAuth2 login methods. Click here to learn more.

🎤 Pitch

This will avoid confusion in many cases, where users won't be able to debug it as there isn't any problem with Appwrite.

Hi
Thanks for opening this. Let me share this feedback with my team and keep this open meanwhile for community's feedback.

To be honest, I'm on board with just not allowing -, +, and ., I don't see a good reason for people to need other characters. I mean imagine the chaos of ， vs , because we allow special commas :P Would also reduce bugs.

That package also doesn't like uppercase characters.

😆 That's a little extreme, but understandable.

It looks like there's no need for restricting the upper-case letters, as Appwrite uses utf8mb4 for the charset. that will make MariaDB choose the utf8mb4_general_ci collation, so the user can just lowercase the project id.
