Before Generating Your App

Download the prebuilt PocketBase app: https://pocketbase.io/

Development

To run the PocketBase server during development, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where PocketBase was installed. Run the following command:

./pocketbase serve

The server should start up at http://127.0.0.1:8090 (this will be the POCKETBASE_URL you use during development.)

Production

When you are ready to ship your app to production, visit pockethost.io to set up a new server.

After Generating Your App

Config.json

After creating your PocketBase project, add the following variables to your config.json file:

"POCKETBASE_URL": "",

The POCKETBASE_URL for development will be displayed after running .pocketbase serve:

2024/01/23 11:29:44 Server started at http://127.0.0.1:8090
├─ REST API: http://127.0.0.1:8090/api/
└─ Admin UI: http://127.0.0.1:8090/_/

For PocketBase servers hosted on PocketHost, you can find the URL by selecting your app name under the "Dashboard" section of the sidebar:

Dashboard -> {Your Project} -> Overview -> Getting Started

Database Updates

The Flutter Fast template requires two database collection: one for users and one for feedback.

PocketBase databases come with a "users" collection which you can edit by clicking the settings icon by the collection name. Add the following fields to the "users" collection:

• first_name (text)
• last_name (text)
• onboarded (boolean)
• date_of_birth (date)
• phone (text)

Next, create the "feedback" collection. Click "New collection" from the sidebar an name the new collection "feedback". Add the following fields:

• message (text)
• user_id (relation to users collection)
• created_at (date)
• type (text)

Finally, select the "API Rules" tab and unlock the "List/Search rule" and the "Create rule". If you do not do this, queries and inserts will fail for clients. Eventually, you should set each of these rules to the following to prevent unauthorized access:

@request.auth.id != ""
