### Uploading Files (InputFile)

You can upload files in Flutter (mobile & web) using the InputFile class. For example:

```dart
import 'package:appwrite/appwrite.dart';
import 'package:file_picker/file_picker.dart';

// Pick a file
FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();

if (result != null) {
final file = InputFile.fromBytes(
bytes: result.files.first.bytes!,
filename: result.files.first.name,
);

final storage = Storage(client);
final uploadedFile = await storage.createFile(
bucketId: 'YOUR_BUCKET_ID',
fileId: ID.unique(),
file: file,
);

print('File uploaded successfully: ${uploadedFile.$id}');
}
```
Replace 'YOUR_BUCKET_ID' with your Appwrite bucket ID.


### Error Handling
The Appwrite Flutter SDK raises `AppwriteException` object with `message`, `type`, `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.
