A new experimental feature in 8base CLI generates a working React app from your data model. This is great for getting started with GraphQL and React or for quickly generating an admin UI for your app. Similar to scaffolding in Ruby-on-Rails.
The generated React app is based on Create React App
, uses Apollo Client
for GraphQL requests and includes authentication powered by Auth0
as well as the ability to upload files.
Few simple steps:
Define your data model in 8base
Install open-source 8base CLI using
npm
and run8base login
Run
8base generate app ${YOU_APP_NAME}
to generate app templateRun
8base generate scaffold ${TABLE_NAME}
to generate CRUD UI for chosen data table (you can repeat this step for each table you want to add)yarn install && yarn start
to start the app
Here's a demo of a React app that gets generated:
Let me know your thoughts and happy generating! More info here.
P.S. 8base is currently in beta and is completely free. It will forever remain free for small dev teams.
