Thanks for taking the time to improve PocketBase!

- [Making changes in the Go code](#making-changes-in-the-go-code)

## Prerequisites
- Go 1.18+ (for making changes in the Go code)
- Go 1.19+ (for making changes in the Go code)
- Node 16+ (for making changes in the Admin UI)
If you haven't already, you can fork the main repository and clone your fork so that you can work locally:
```
git clone https://github.com/your_username/pocketbase.git
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> It is recommended to create a new branch from master for each of your bugfixes and features.
> This is required if you are planning to submit multiple PRs in order to keep the changes separate for review until they eventually get merged.
## Making changes in the Go code
PocketBase is distributed as a Go package, which means that in order to run the project you'll have to create a Go `main` program that imports the package.
The repository already includes such program, located in `/examples/base`, that is also used for the prebuilt executables.

To run the tests, you could execute (while in the root project directory):
```sh
go test ./...

## Making changes in the Admin UI
@ -65,14 +66,15 @@ To start the Admin UI:
1. Navigate to the `ui` project directory
2. Run `npm install` to install the node dependencies
3. Start vite's dev server
```sh
npm run dev
```
```sh
npm run dev
```
You could open the browser and access the running Admin UI at `http://localhost:3000`.
Since the Admin UI is just a client-side application, you need to have the PocketBase backend server also running in the background (either manually running the `examples/base/main.go` or download a prebuilt executable).
> [!NOTE]
> By default, the Admin UI is expecting the backend server to be started at `http://localhost:8090`, but you could change that by creating a new `ui/.env.development.local` file with `PB_BACKEND_URL = YOUR_ADDRESS` variable inside it.
Every change you make in the Admin UI should be automatically reflected in the browser at `http://localhost:3000` without reloading the page.

Don't get upset if I close your PR, even if it is well executed and tested. This doesn't mean that it will never be merged.
Later we can always refer to it and/or take pieces of your implementation when the time comes to work on the issue (don't worry you'll be credited in the release notes).
_Please also note that PocketBase was initially created to serve as a new backend for my other open source project - [Presentator](https://presentator.io) (see [#183](https://github.com/presentator/presentator/issues/183)),
so all feature requests will be first aligned with what we need for Presentator v3._
