🐛 Bug Report: NodeJS server SDK doesn't accept any argument for 'default' for creating array attributes in a collection

[algusarov]

👟 Reproduction steps

I'm using the latest version of node-appwrite (11.1.0) and have set up some scripts to set up my projects programmatically. Everything works fine besides creating array attributes, when I try this code:

await db.createStringAttribute(databaseId, collectionId, 'media', 10000, false, '', true)

it generates this exception:

Cannot set default value for array attributes

message: 'Cannot set default value for array attributes',
    code: 400,
    type: 'attribute_default_unsupported',
    version: '1.4.13'

And when I try to use any other value instead of empty string for a 'default value' parameter, SDK throws another error saying that only string with size 0 can be used as a parameter.

👍 Expected behavior

Attribute is created.

👎 Actual Behavior

Exception thrown.

@algusarov, thanks for creating this issue! 🙏🏼 This is expected. The goal for setting a default is to not have nulls. This isn't a problem with arrays because they will never be null.

That said, you are more than welcome to add your thoughts to appwrite/console#461 and add a 👍🏼
