📚 Documentation: Adding sleep /wait function to quick start guide for node-sdk for better first experience

[sahilsekr42]

💭 Description

In the quick start guide for node.js-sdk there is a function runAllTasks

async function runAllTasks() {
    await prepareDatabase();
    await seedDatabase();
    await getTodos();
}
runAllTasks();

This is just for devs to get started. Now, I observed that running seedDatabase() immediately after preparing the db throws error related to attribute recognition . As far as I can tell the database in background is taking some time to be prepared . Waiting for a couple seconds between both functions solves this.

Going to create a PR with the sleep/wait function included

Hello, @stnguyen90 @LauraDuRy @ItzNotABug , its a humble request to please check the PR and suggest or make any changes if possible. Thanks !!

What do you mean by - error related to attribute recognition? Can you share the full error/stacktrace?
In most cases, a sleep or pause like logic is not required since all the operations are async and hence the calls are awaited.

Hey @ItzNotABug ,thanks for taking time to look into it. Well , the error was attribute "title" not recognised. This happened when seedDatabase function tried to add documents. Whereas after adding a wait time of couple seconds it was automatically recognised because maybe the backend is taking time to be prepared and then respond accurately to requests. Also I was running a local appwrite instance so maybe my system is slow.

Also , just following the quick-start guide for node-sdk should reproduce the error. I used a local appwrite instance. @ItzNotABug
