[PocketBase](https://pocketbase.io) is an open source Go backend, consisting of:
- embedded database (_SQLite_) with **realtime subscriptions**
- built-in **files and users management**
- convenient **Admin dashboard UI**
- and simple **REST-ish API**
**For documentation and examples, please visit https://pocketbase.io/docs.**
> ⚠️ Although the web API definitions are considered stable,
> please keep in mind that PocketBase is still under active development
> and therefore full backward compatibility is not guaranteed before reaching v1.0.0.
## API SDK clients
The easiest way to interact with the API is to use one of the official SDK clients:
- **JavaScript - [pocketbase/js-sdk](https://github.com/pocketbase/js-sdk)** (_browser and node_)
- **Dart - [pocketbase/dart-sdk](https://github.com/pocketbase/dart-sdk)** (_web, mobile, desktop_)
## Overview
PocketBase could be [downloaded directly as a standalone app](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/releases) or it could be used as a Go framework/toolkit which allows you to build
your own custom app specific business logic and still have a single portable executable at the end.
### Installation
```sh
# go 1.18+
go get github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase
```
> For Windows, you may have to use go 1.19+ due to an incorrect js mime type in the Windows Registry (see [issue#6](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6)).
### Example
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v5"
"github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase"
"github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/apis"
"github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/core"
)
func main() {
app := pocketbase.New()
app.OnBeforeServe().Add(func(e *core.ServeEvent) error {
// add new "GET /api/hello" route to the app router (echo)
e.Router.AddRoute(echo.Route{
Method: http.MethodGet,
Path: "/api/hello",
Handler: func(c echo.Context) error {
return c.String(200, "Hello world!")
},
Middlewares: []echo.MiddlewareFunc{
apis.RequireAdminOrUserAuth(),
},
})
return nil
})
if err := app.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
```
### Running and building
Running/building the application is the same as for any other Go program, aka. just `go run` and `go build`.
**PocketBase embeds SQLite, but doesn't require CGO.**
If CGO is enabled, it will use [mattn/go-sqlite3](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3) driver, otherwise - [modernc.org/sqlite](https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite). You can enable and disable CGO by setting the `CGO_ENABLED` environment variable to `1` or `0` respectively.
Enable CGO only if you really need to squeeze the read/write query performance at the expense of complicating cross compilation.
To build the minimal standalone executable, like the prebuilt ones in the releases page, you can simply run `go build` inside the `examples/base` directory.
### Testing
PocketBase comes with mixed bag of unit and integration tests.
To run them, use the default `go test` command:
```sh
go test ./...
```
Check also the [Testing guide](http://pocketbase.io/docs/testing) to learn how to write your own custom application tests.
## Security
If you discover a security vulnerability within PocketBase, please send an e-mail to **support at pocketbase.io**.
All reports will be promptly addressed and you'll be credited accordingly.
## Contributing
PocketBase is free and open source project licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE.md).
You could help continuing its development by:
- [Contribute to the source code](CONTRIBUTING.md)
> **NB! PR for new features will not be merged until until we manage to complete the users refactoring in [#376](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/376)!**
- [Suggest new features and report issues](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues)
- [Donate a small amount](https://pocketbase.io/support-us)
> Please 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.
