🐛 Bug Report: Double-Nested Data in User Preferences account.updatePrefs

[olerhan]

👟 Reproduction steps

Running the following code in a Flutter project:

prefs = {"data": {"name" : "Erhan"}};
User prefsUpdatedUser = await account.updatePrefs(
  prefs: prefs,
);

Running the code to update user preferences.

👍 Expected behavior

The user preferences should be:
prefsUpdatedUser.prefs => {"data": {"name" : "Erhan"}}

👎 Actual Behavior

Instead, the actual preferences returned are:
prefsUpdatedUser.prefs => {"data": {"data": {"name" : "Erhan"}}}

🎲 Appwrite version

Appwrite Cloud

💻 Operating system

MacOS

🧱 Your Environment

I'm working on a Flutter project using Visual Studio Code with appwrite: ^13.0.0.
The issue can be easily resolved by sending the correct format of prefs. However, it creates confusion when working according to the references provided, which is why I believe this is a bug and wanted to report it:

Instead, the actual preferences returned are:
prefsUpdatedUser.prefs => {"data": {"data": {"name" : "Erhan"}}}

How exactly are you printing that data?

This looks expected to me because account.updatePrefs() returns a User and User has a prefs property that is a Preferences object and Preferences has a Map<string, dynamic> data property.

Part of the reason why there's this data property is because Dart is statically typed so we have to nest the dynamic data in the data property.
