## Getting Started

### Initialize & Make API Request
Once you add the dependencies, its extremely easy to get started with the SDK; All you need to do is import the package in your code, set your Appwrite credentials, and start making API calls. Below is a simple example:

```dart
import 'package:dart_appwrite/dart_appwrite.dart';

void main() async {
  Client client = Client()
    .setEndpoint('http://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1') // Make sure your endpoint is accessible
    .setProject('5ff3379a01d25') // Your project ID
    .setKey('cd868c7af8bdc893b4...93b7535db89')
    .setSelfSigned(); // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert

  Users users = Users(client);

  try {
    final user = await users.create(userId: ID.unique(), email: "email@example.com", phone: "+123456789", password: "password", name: "Walter O'Brien");
    print(user.toMap());
  } on AppwriteException catch(e) {
    print(e.message);
  }
}
```

### Error handling
The Appwrite Dart SDK raises `AppwriteException` object with `message`, `code` and `response` properties. You can handle any errors by catching `AppwriteException` and present the `message` to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.

```dart
Users users = Users(client);

try {
  final user = await users.create(userId: ID.unique(), email: "email@example.com", phone: "+123456789", password: "password", name: "Walter O'Brien");
  print(user.toMap());
} on AppwriteException catch(e) {
  //show message to user or do other operation based on error as required
  print(e.message);
}
```
