🚀 Feature: Add storage cleaner templates

[Haimantika]

Appwrite Functions allow you to extend and customize your Appwrite server functionality by executing your custom code. 🤩 You can learn more at our official Appwrite Functions docs.

What you’re building

Your task is to implement the storage cleaner template in Node.js.

Storage cleaner integrates with Appwrite Storage and removes all files from the buckets older than X number of days, as configured by the RETENTION_PERIOD_DAYS environment variable. The Storage cleaner should be scheduled using CRON, defaulting to running at 1:00 AM daily.

This could be used in services like PDF converters and caption generators, where file retention is periodic with high number of uploads.

Your function’s implementation should be similar to other Node.js function templates in code format and style. Make sure to follow our contributing guide.

Tasks summary:

• Fork & clone Appwrite's templates repository
• Create a branch feat-implement-storage-cleaner-node
• Write code for the function in folder node/storage-cleaner/.
• Test the function using Appwrite, provide a video.
• Write a README.md explaining what the function does, how to use it, and customize it. Here is an example.
• Submit a pull request to our templates repository

@Haimantika

The Storage cleaner should be scheduled using CRON, defaulting to running at 1:00 AM daily.

Regarding this, is this the only way of execution that should be available or can I also add execution by RESTful URL that function provides?

By sending time in a request that can be same or different than what is defined in RETENTION_PERIOD_DAYS environment variable.
