Installation
npm install @buildbase/sdk react@^19.0.0 react-dom@^19.0.0Quick Start
1. Import CSS
// app/layout.tsx (or your root layout)
import '@buildbase/sdk/css';2. Create Provider
// components/provider.tsx
'use client';
import { SaaSOSProvider } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
import { ApiVersion } from '@buildbase/sdk';
export default function SaaSProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<SaaSOSProvider
serverUrl="https://your-api-server.com"
version={ApiVersion.V1}
orgId="your-org-id"
auth={{
clientId: 'your-client-id',
redirectUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
callbacks: {
// Called on page refresh to restore session from httpOnly cookie
getSession: async () => {
const res = await fetch('/api/auth/session');
const data = await res.json();
return data.sessionId ?? null;
},
// Called after OAuth redirect to exchange code for sessionId
handleAuthentication: async code => {
const res = await fetch('/api/auth/verify', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ code }),
});
const data = await res.json();
return { sessionId: data.sessionId };
},
// Called on sign out to clear the httpOnly cookie
onSignOut: async () => {
await fetch('/api/auth/signout', { method: 'POST' });
window.location.reload();
},
handleEvent: (eventType, data) => {
console.log('SDK Event:', eventType, data);
},
onWorkspaceChange: async ({ workspace, user, role }) => {
console.log('Switching to:', workspace.name, 'as', role);
},
},
}}
>
{children}
</SaaSOSProvider>
);
}The SDK uses the same session pattern as next-auth: the session token lives in an httpOnly cookie (set by your server), and the SDK calls getSession() on page refresh to restore it. You need three server endpoints:
/api/auth/verify— exchanges OAuth code for sessionId, sets httpOnly cookie/api/auth/session— reads httpOnly cookie, returns{ sessionId }(called on page refresh)/api/auth/signout— clears the httpOnly cookie
3. Wrap Your App
// app/layout.tsx
import SaaSProvider from '@/components/provider';
import '@buildbase/sdk/css';
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html>
<body>
<SaaSProvider>{children}</SaaSProvider>
</body>
</html>
);
}4. Workspace Switcher
The WorkspaceSwitcher component uses a render prop pattern, giving you full control over the UI. Configure onWorkspaceChange in auth.callbacks (SaaSOSProvider) to handle workspace switches—used when clicking "Switch to" and when restoring from storage on page refresh. The callback receives { workspace, user, role } so you don't need to look up the user's role:
import React from 'react';
import { WorkspaceSwitcher } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function WorkspaceExample() {
return (
<WorkspaceSwitcher
trigger={(isLoading, currentWorkspace) => {
if (isLoading) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
if (!currentWorkspace) {
return (
<div className="flex items-center gap-2 min-w-40 border rounded-md p-2 hover:bg-muted cursor-pointer">
<div className="bg-gray-200 flex aspect-square size-8 items-center justify-center rounded-lg"></div>
<div className="grid flex-1 text-left text-sm leading-tight">Choose a workspace</div>
</div>
);
}
return (
<div className="flex items-center gap-2 min-w-40 border rounded-md p-2 hover:bg-muted cursor-pointer">
<div className="flex items-center justify-center h-full w-full bg-muted rounded-lg max-h-8 max-w-8">
{currentWorkspace?.image && (
<img src={currentWorkspace?.image} alt={currentWorkspace?.name} />
)}
</div>
<div className="grid flex-1 text-left text-sm leading-tight">
<span className="truncate font-medium">{currentWorkspace?.name}</span>
</div>
</div>
);
}}
/>
);
}🔐 Authentication
Authentication Hook
Use the useSaaSAuth hook to manage authentication state and actions:
import { useSaaSAuth } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function AuthExample() {
const { user, isAuthenticated, signIn, signOut, status } = useSaaSAuth();
return (
<div>
{!isAuthenticated ? (
<div>
<h1>Welcome! Please sign in</h1>
<button onClick={() => signIn()} disabled={status === 'loading'}>
{status === 'loading' ? 'Signing in...' : 'Sign In'}
</button>
</div>
) : (
<div>
<h1>Welcome back, {user?.name}!</h1>
<p>Email: {user?.email}</p>
<p>Role: {user?.role}</p>
<button onClick={signOut}>Sign Out</button>
</div>
)}
</div>
);
}Authentication Hook Properties
const {
user, // Current user object (null if not authenticated)
session, // Full session object with user and sessionId
isAuthenticated, // Boolean: true if user is authenticated
isLoading, // Boolean: true when checking authentication status
isRedirecting, // Boolean: true when redirecting for OAuth
status, // AuthStatus: 'loading' | 'redirecting' | 'authenticating' | 'authenticated' | 'unauthenticated' (use AuthStatus enum for type-safe checks)
signIn, // Function: initiates sign-in flow. Accepts optional returnUrl to redirect back after login.
signOut, // Function: signs out the user
openWorkspaceSettings, // Function: opens workspace settings dialog to a specific section
} = useSaaSAuth();Workspace Settings Sections
Open the workspace settings dialog to a specific section:
openWorkspaceSettings('profile'); // Account profile
openWorkspaceSettings('general'); // Workspace name, icon
openWorkspaceSettings('users'); // Workspace members
openWorkspaceSettings('subscription'); // Plan & Billing
openWorkspaceSettings('usage'); // Quota usage dashboard
openWorkspaceSettings('features'); // Feature toggles
openWorkspaceSettings('danger'); // Delete workspace (owner only)Authentication Components
For declarative rendering, use the conditional components:
import { WhenAuthenticated, WhenUnauthenticated } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<WhenUnauthenticated>
<LoginPage />
</WhenUnauthenticated>
<WhenAuthenticated>
<Dashboard />
</WhenAuthenticated>
</div>
);
}Redirect Preservation
The SDK automatically preserves the URL when signIn() is called. After login, the user is redirected back to the page they were on.
// Automatic — just call signIn(), the current URL is saved
signIn();
// Custom — pass a specific URL to redirect to after login
signIn('https://app.com/dashboard?bb=action:selectPlan,plan:abc');This works across the full OAuth round-trip via localStorage (10-minute TTL, validated with validateRedirectUrl()).
For advanced use cases, the low-level helpers are also exported:
import { saveAuthIntent, consumeAuthIntent, clearAuthIntent } from '@buildbase/sdk';Affiliate / Referral Tracking
Pass affiliate/referral data to Stripe checkout sessions via the getCheckoutStripeParams prop on SaaSOSProvider. This async callback is called before every checkout session is created, so you can fetch referral IDs, read cookies, or call any async API:
<SaaSOSProvider
serverUrl="https://your-api-server.com"
version={ApiVersion.V1}
orgId="your-org-id"
auth={authConfig}
getCheckoutStripeParams={async request => {
// Rewardful, FirstPromoter, PartnerStack — read client_reference_id
const referralId = await getRewardfulReferralId();
return {
clientReferenceId: referralId,
// Endorsely — reads subscription metadata
subscriptionMetadata: { endorsely_referral: window.endorsely_referral },
// Custom tracking on the checkout session
metadata: { campaign: 'summer-sale' },
};
}}
>
<App />
</SaaSOSProvider>The returned object is merged into the Stripe checkout session. You can return any combination of the fields below, or undefined to proceed without extra options:
| Field | Stripe mapping | Use case |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| clientReferenceId | client_reference_id | Rewardful, FirstPromoter, etc. |
| metadata | metadata (checkout session) | Custom tracking, Endorsely |
| subscriptionMetadata | subscription_data.metadata | Data that persists on the subscription |
👥 Role-Based Access Control
Role Components
Control access based on user roles:
import { WhenRoles, WhenWorkspaceRoles } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function AdminPanel() {
return (
<div>
{/* Global user roles */}
<WhenRoles roles={['admin', 'super-admin']}>
<AdminControls />
</WhenRoles>
{/* Workspace-specific roles */}
<WhenWorkspaceRoles roles={['owner', 'admin']}>
<WorkspaceSettings />
</WhenWorkspaceRoles>
{/* With fallback content */}
<WhenRoles roles={['admin']} fallback={<p>You need admin access to view this content</p>}>
<SensitiveData />
</WhenRoles>
</div>
);
}🎛️ Feature Flags
Control feature visibility based on workspace and user settings:
import {
WhenWorkspaceFeatureEnabled,
WhenWorkspaceFeatureDisabled,
WhenUserFeatureEnabled,
WhenUserFeatureDisabled,
} from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function FeatureExample() {
return (
<div>
{/* Workspace-level features */}
<WhenWorkspaceFeatureEnabled slug="advanced-analytics">
<AdvancedAnalytics />
</WhenWorkspaceFeatureEnabled>
<WhenWorkspaceFeatureDisabled slug="beta-features">
<p>Beta features are not enabled for this workspace</p>
</WhenWorkspaceFeatureDisabled>
{/* User-level features */}
<WhenUserFeatureEnabled slug="premium-features">
<PremiumDashboard />
</WhenUserFeatureEnabled>
<WhenUserFeatureDisabled slug="trial-mode">
<UpgradePrompt />
</WhenUserFeatureDisabled>
</div>
);
}Feature Flags Hook
Use the useUserFeatures hook to check feature flags programmatically:
import { useUserFeatures } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function FeatureCheck() {
const { features, isFeatureEnabled, refreshFeatures } = useUserFeatures();
return (
<div>{isFeatureEnabled('premium-features') ? <PremiumContent /> : <StandardContent />}</div>
);
}📋 Subscription Gates
Control UI visibility based on the current workspace’s subscription. Subscription data is loaded once per workspace and refetched when the workspace changes or when the subscription is updated (e.g. upgrade, cancel, resume).
SubscriptionContextProvider is included in SaaSOSProvider by default, so subscription gates work without extra setup.
Subscription Gate Components
import {
WhenSubscription,
WhenNoSubscription,
WhenSubscriptionToPlans,
} from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function BillingExample() {
return (
<div>
{/* Show when workspace has any active subscription */}
<WhenSubscription>
<BillingSettings />
</WhenSubscription>
{/* Show when workspace has no subscription */}
<WhenNoSubscription>
<UpgradePrompt />
</WhenNoSubscription>
{/* Show only when subscribed to specific plans (by slug, case-insensitive) */}
<WhenSubscriptionToPlans plans={['pro', 'enterprise']}>
<AdvancedAnalytics />
</WhenSubscriptionToPlans>
</div>
);
}| Component | Renders when |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| WhenSubscription | Current workspace has an active subscription (any plan); not loading |
| WhenNoSubscription | Current workspace has no subscription (or no workspace); not loading |
| WhenSubscriptionToPlans | Current workspace is subscribed to one of the given plan slugs |
All gates must be used inside SubscriptionContextProvider (included in SaaSOSProvider). By default they return null while loading or when the condition is not met. You can pass optional loadingComponent (component/element to show while loading) and fallbackComponent (component/element to show when condition is not met):
<WhenSubscription
loadingComponent={<Skeleton className="h-20" />}
fallbackComponent={<UpgradePrompt />}
>
<BillingSettings />
</WhenSubscription>
<WhenSubscriptionToPlans
plans={['pro', 'enterprise']}
loadingComponent={<Spinner />}
fallbackComponent={<p>Upgrade to Pro or Enterprise to access this feature.</p>}
>
<AdvancedAnalytics />
</WhenSubscriptionToPlans>useSubscriptionContext
Use the hook when you need subscription data or a manual refetch (e.g. after returning from Stripe checkout):
import { useSubscriptionContext } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function SubscriptionStatus() {
const { response, loading, refetch } = useSubscriptionContext();
if (loading) return <Spinner />;
if (!response?.subscription) return <p>No active subscription</p>;
const plan = response.plan ?? response.subscription?.plan;
return (
<div>
<p>Plan: {plan?.name ?? plan?.slug}</p>
<button onClick={() => refetch()}>Refresh</button>
</div>
);
}| Property | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| response | ISubscriptionResponse \| null | Current subscription data for the current workspace |
| loading | boolean | True while subscription is being fetched |
| refetch | () => Promise<void> | Manually refetch subscription (e.g. after plan change) |
When subscription refetches
- When the current workspace changes (automatic).
- When subscription is updated via SDK (e.g.
useUpdateSubscription, cancel, resume) — refetch is triggered automatically. - When you call
refetch()(e.g. after redirect from checkout).
⏳ Trial Gates
Control UI based on trial state. Works with Stripe-native trials (both card-required and no-card).
Trial Gate Components
import { WhenTrialing, WhenNotTrialing, WhenTrialEnding } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function TrialExample() {
return (
<div>
{/* Show only during active trial */}
<WhenTrialing>
<TrialBanner />
</WhenTrialing>
{/* Show when NOT trialing (active, canceled, or no subscription) */}
<WhenNotTrialing>
<RegularContent />
</WhenNotTrialing>
{/* Show when trial ends within N days (default: 3) */}
<WhenTrialEnding daysThreshold={7}>
<UpgradeUrgentBanner />
</WhenTrialEnding>
</div>
);
}| Component | Renders when |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| WhenTrialing | Subscription status is trialing |
| WhenNotTrialing | Subscription status is NOT trialing |
| WhenTrialEnding | Trialing AND trial ends within daysThreshold days (default 3) |
All trial gates support loadingComponent and fallbackComponent props.
useTrialStatus
Hook that computes trial information from the subscription context:
import { useTrialStatus } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function TrialInfo() {
const { isTrialing, daysRemaining, trialEndsAt, isTrialEnding } = useTrialStatus();
if (!isTrialing) return null;
return (
<div>
<p>Trial ends in {daysRemaining} days</p>
{isTrialEnding && <p>Upgrade now to keep access!</p>}
</div>
);
}| Property | Type | Description |
| ---------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| isTrialing | boolean | Whether subscription is in trial |
| daysRemaining | number | Days left in trial (0 if not trialing or expired) |
| trialEndsAt | Date \| null | Trial end date |
| trialStartedAt | Date \| null | Trial start date |
| isTrialEnding | boolean | True when 3 or fewer days remaining |
🔔 Push Notifications
Browser push notifications — built into the SDK. Users can enable/disable from the Notifications tab in workspace settings. Billing events (payment failed, trial ending) auto-send push notifications.
Only setup required: Create public/push-sw.js in your app:
self.addEventListener('push', function (event) {
if (!event.data) return;
try {
var payload = event.data.json();
var options = {
body: payload.body || '',
icon: payload.icon || undefined,
badge: payload.badge || payload.icon || undefined,
image: payload.image || undefined,
tag: payload.tag || undefined,
actions: payload.actions || undefined,
silent: payload.silent || false,
requireInteraction: payload.requireInteraction || false,
renotify: payload.renotify || false,
timestamp: payload.timestamp || undefined,
dir: payload.dir || 'auto',
data: { url: payload.url, ...(payload.data || {}) },
};
event.waitUntil(self.registration.showNotification(payload.title || 'Notification', options));
} catch (e) {
console.error('[PushSW]', e);
}
});
self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function (event) {
event.notification.close();
var url = event.notification.data && event.notification.data.url;
if (url) {
event.waitUntil(
clients.matchAll({ type: 'window', includeUncontrolled: true }).then(function (list) {
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
if (list[i].url === url && 'focus' in list[i]) return list[i].focus();
}
if (clients.openWindow) return clients.openWindow(url);
})
);
}
});Everything else is built-in — permission handling, subscribe/unsubscribe, settings UI, billing auto-triggers, and browser-specific unblock instructions.
📬 Notifications
Send email and push notifications to workspace members. The system has three layers:
- System notifications — Automatically triggered by platform events (workspace invite, payment failed, trial ending, etc.). Managed by the developer in the admin dashboard.
- Custom notifications — Defined by the developer, triggered from app code via SDK. Can be made user-configurable.
- Ad-hoc notifications — Send push notifications with any event slug without pre-registering it. No event setup needed — just pass
title,message, and optionallyicon,image,url. Email requires a registered event with a linked template.
Sending Notifications (Server-Side)
import { notification } from '@/lib/buildbase';
// Notify a specific user
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'comment_added', userId, {
title: 'New Comment', // Push title (falls back to event name)
message: 'Alice commented on your project', // Push body + email {{message}}
icon: 'https://example.com/comment-icon.png', // Custom push icon (falls back to org icon)
image: 'https://example.com/screenshot.jpg', // Large image in push notification body
url: 'https://app.example.com/projects/123#comments', // Opens on push click + {{url}} in email
});
// Notify all workspace members (omit userId)
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'new_release', undefined, {
title: 'New Release',
message: 'Version 2.0 is now available with dark mode and API v2!',
image: 'https://example.com/release-banner.jpg',
url: 'https://app.example.com/changelog',
});Ad-hoc Notifications
Send push notifications without creating a custom event first — any event slug works:
// No need to register 'deployment_success' as a custom event
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'deployment_success', userId, {
title: 'Deployment Complete',
message: 'v2.1.0 deployed to production',
icon: 'https://example.com/deploy-icon.png',
url: '/deployments/latest',
channels: { push: true },
});Note: Ad-hoc events support push only. Email requires a registered event with a linked email template.
Push Options
Fine-grained control over push notification behavior:
// Action buttons — user can tap "Reply" or "Dismiss" directly on the notification
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'new_message', userId, {
title: 'New message from Alice',
message: 'Hey, are you free for a call?',
actions: [
{ action: 'reply', title: 'Reply', icon: 'https://example.com/reply.png' },
{ action: 'dismiss', title: 'Dismiss' },
],
tag: 'chat-alice', // Replaces previous "chat-alice" notification instead of stacking
renotify: true, // Still vibrate/sound when replacing
channels: { push: true },
});
// Critical alert — stays visible until user interacts
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'payment_failed', userId, {
title: 'Payment Failed',
message: 'Your subscription will be suspended in 3 days',
badge: 'https://example.com/alert-badge.png',
requireInteraction: true, // No auto-dismiss
urgency: 'high', // Prioritized delivery on mobile
channels: { push: true },
});
// Silent notification — no sound or vibration
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'sync_complete', userId, {
title: 'Sync Complete',
message: '1,234 records synced',
silent: true,
urgency: 'low',
channels: { push: true },
});| Option | Type | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| badge | string | Small monochrome icon for status bar (Android/ChromeOS) |
| tag | string | Replaces existing notification with same tag instead of stacking |
| actions | Array<{action, title, icon?}> | Up to 2 action buttons on the notification |
| silent | boolean | No sound or vibration |
| requireInteraction | boolean | Stays visible until user interacts |
| renotify | boolean | Sound/vibrate again when replacing via tag |
| timestamp | number | Custom timestamp (ms since epoch) shown on notification |
| dir | 'ltr' \| 'rtl' \| 'auto' | Text direction for title/body |
Delivery Options
Control how and when the push service delivers the notification:
// Schedule for later
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'daily_digest', undefined, {
title: 'Your Daily Digest',
message: '12 new updates in your workspace',
scheduledAt: '2026-04-16T09:00:00Z', // Deliver at 9am UTC tomorrow
channels: { push: true },
});
// Short-lived notification — discard if not delivered in 1 hour
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'flash_sale', undefined, {
title: 'Flash Sale — 50% off!',
message: 'Ends in 1 hour',
image: 'https://example.com/sale-banner.jpg',
ttl: 3600, // Expires after 1 hour (seconds)
urgency: 'high', // Deliver ASAP
channels: { push: true },
});| Option | Type | Description |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| scheduledAt | string | ISO 8601 date. Delays delivery until the specified time |
| ttl | number | Time-to-live in seconds. Push service discards if not delivered in time. Default: 86400 (24h) |
| urgency | 'very-low' \| 'low' \| 'normal' \| 'high' | Delivery priority hint. Affects battery usage on mobile |
Channel Control
By default, both email and push are sent (based on event config). Override per-send with channels:
// Only push — real-time alert, no email
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'typing_indicator', userId, {
message: 'Alice is typing...',
channels: { push: true },
});
// Only email — digest or report, no push
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'weekly_report', undefined, {
message: 'Your weekly activity report is ready',
channels: { email: true },
});
// Both channels explicitly
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'comment_added', userId, {
message: 'New comment on your project',
channels: { email: true, push: true },
});Note: Even with
channelsoverride, the 4-layer gate still applies. If the admin disabled push globally,channels: { push: true }won't send push.
Merge Tags
Both email and push support merge tags with {{tag}} syntax:
await notification.send(workspaceId, 'export_ready', userId, {
title: '{{workspaceName}} — Export Ready', // → "Acme Corp — Export Ready"
message: 'Hi {{name}}, your export is ready', // → "Hi Alice, your export is ready"
downloadUrl: 'https://example.com/exports/123',
fileName: 'report.csv',
});| Tag | Resolves to | Available in |
| ------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| {{name}} | Recipient's name | Email + Push |
| {{email}} | Recipient's email | Email + Push |
| {{workspaceName}} | Workspace name | Email + Push |
| {{message}} | The message field | Email template |
| {{url}} | The url field | Email template + Push click target |
| {{anyKey}} | Value from data object | Email + Push |
Response
{
sent: true,
channels: { email: true, push: true },
notifiedCount: 5 // Number of users notified (1 for single user, N for workspace)
}How It Works
When notification.send() is called, the system checks 4 layers before delivering:
- Org global settings — Developer can disable all email or all push notifications globally
- Event config — Per-event enabled/disabled and per-channel (email/push) toggles
- Workspace preferences — End-user overrides (only for events marked
userManaged) - User unsubscribe — Per-user email unsubscribe preferences (checked at delivery time)
Creating Custom Events
Custom notification events are created in the admin dashboard under Notifications > Custom:
- Name — Display name (e.g., "Comment Added")
- Slug — Used in code (e.g.,
comment_added) - Category — Grouping in settings UI (e.g., "Activity")
- Channels — Enable/disable email and push per event
- User Control — If enabled, workspace members can toggle this notification in their settings
An email template is auto-created for each custom event. Edit it in Email Templates to customize the content and add merge tags like {{downloadUrl}}, {{commentText}}, etc.
Notification Settings (End-User UI)
The workspace settings panel shows notification preferences automatically — only for events where the developer enabled "User Control". System notifications are never shown to end users.

useTranslation Hook
import { useTranslation } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function MyComponent() {
const { t, locale, dir, fmtNum, fmtCents } = useTranslation();
return (
<div dir={dir}>
<p>{t('subscription.currentPlan')}</p> {/* Type-safe key lookup */}
<p>{t('users.memberCount', { count: 5 })}</p> {/* ICU plural: "5 members" */}
<p>{fmtNum(1234)}</p> {/* Locale-aware: "1,234" or "1,234" */}

</div>
);
}Features
- ICU MessageFormat — plurals (
{count, plural, one {# item} other {# items}}), selects, number formatting - Type-safe keys —
TranslationKeyunion type with autocomplete, catches typos at compile time - Native numerals — Hindi uses Devanagari digits, Arabic uses Arabic-Indic digits
- RTL support —
dirattribute on all dialogs, logical CSS properties (start/end instead of left/right) - Locale-aware formatting — dates, currencies, and numbers formatted per locale
- Memoized Intl formatters — shared
Intl.NumberFormat/DateTimeFormat/PluralRulesinstances for performance - Lazy-loaded translations — non-English locales loaded on demand, English always bundled
🏠 Workspace Modes
The SDK supports two workspace modes, configured from the admin dashboard (no code changes needed):
Personal Mode
For B2C solo tools (Todoist, Grammarly, personal dashboards):
- 1 user = 1 auto-created workspace
- No team invites, no workspace switcher
- Clicking workspace trigger opens Settings directly
- Seats, members, roles sections hidden in UI
- Enforced at API level — workspace creation and invites blocked
Platform Mode (Default)
For full SaaS platforms (Slack, GitHub, Discord):
- Multi-workspace, multi-user
- Create workspaces, invite members, switch between them
- Full settings UI with members, roles, billing, seats
Advanced Overrides
Platform mode supports granular overrides from the admin dashboard:
| Setting | Options | Default | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------- | | Can Create Workspace | Everyone / Owner Only / Disabled | Everyone | | Can Invite Members | Everyone / Admin Only / Disabled | Everyone | | Show Workspace Switcher | On / Off | On | | Max Workspaces Per User | 0 (unlimited) or a number | 0 | | Auto-Create First Workspace | On / Off | On |
These let you achieve team-like, managed, or enterprise-like behavior without a separate mode.
👤 User Management
User Attributes
Manage custom user attributes (key-value pairs):
import { useUserAttributes } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function UserProfile() {
const { attributes, isLoading, updateAttribute, updateAttributes, refreshAttributes } =
useUserAttributes();
const handleUpdate = async () => {
// Update single attribute
await updateAttribute('theme', 'dark');
// Or update multiple attributes
await updateAttributes({
theme: 'dark',
notifications: true,
language: 'en',
});
};
return (
<div>
<p>Theme: {attributes.theme}</p>
<button onClick={handleUpdate}>Update Preferences</button>
</div>
);
}🏢 Complete Workspace Management
The useSaaSWorkspaces hook provides comprehensive workspace management:
import { useSaaSWorkspaces } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function WorkspaceManager() {
const {
workspaces, // Array of all workspaces
currentWorkspace, // Currently selected workspace
loading, // Loading state
refreshing, // Refreshing state
switching, // True when a workspace switch is in progress
switchingToId, // Workspace ID currently being switched to (null when not switching)
error, // Error message
fetchWorkspaces, // Fetch all workspaces
refreshWorkspaces, // Background refresh
setCurrentWorkspace, // Direct workspace set (bypasses onWorkspaceChange)
switchToWorkspace, // Full switch flow: onWorkspaceChange first, then set workspace
createWorkspace, // Create new workspace
updateWorkspace, // Update workspace
deleteWorkspace, // Delete workspace
getUsers, // Get workspace users
addUser, // Add user to workspace
removeUser, // Remove user from workspace
updateUser, // Update user role/permissions
getFeatures, // Get all available features
updateFeature, // Toggle workspace feature
getProfile, // Get current user profile
updateUserProfile, // Update user profile
updateWorkspaceSettings, // Update workspace settings
updateWorkspacePermissions, // Update workspace permissions
} = useSaaSWorkspaces();
// Example: Create a workspace
const handleCreate = async () => {
await createWorkspace('My Workspace', 'https://example.com/logo.png');
};
// Example: Add user to workspace
const handleAddUser = async () => {
await addUser(currentWorkspace._id, '[email protected]', 'member');
};
return <div>{/* Your workspace UI */}</div>;
}💰 Public Pricing (No Login)
Display subscription plans and pricing on public pages (e.g. marketing site, pricing page) without requiring users to log in.
usePublicPlans
Fetches public plans by slug. Returns items (features, limits, quotas) and plans (with pricing). You construct the layout from this data:
import { usePublicPlans } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function PublicPricingPage() {
const { items, plans, loading, error } = usePublicPlans('main-pricing');
if (loading) return <Loading />;
if (error) return <Error message={error} />;
return (
<div>
{plans.map(plan => (
<PlanCard key={plan._id} plan={plan} items={items} />
))}
</div>
);
}PricingPage Component
Use the PricingPage component with a render-prop pattern:
import { PricingPage } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function PublicPricingPage() {
return (
<PricingPage slug="main-pricing" redirectBaseUrl="https://app.com/dashboard">
{({ loading, error, items, plans, selectPlan, refetch }) => {
if (loading) return <Loading />;
if (error) return <Error message={error} />;
return (
<div>
{plans.map(plan => (
<div key={plan._id}>
<PlanCard plan={plan} items={items} />
<button onClick={() => selectPlan(plan._id, 'monthly', 'usd')}>
{plan.trial?.enabled
? `Start ${plan.trial.durationDays}-Day Trial`
: 'Select Plan'}
</button>
</div>
))}
</div>
);
}}
</PricingPage>
);
}selectPlan() handles everything automatically:
- Authenticated → opens the "Choose Your Plan" dialog
- Not authenticated → saves a redirect URL, triggers sign-in, and after login the user lands on the dashboard with the plan picker dialog open
| Prop | Type | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| slug | string | Plan group slug (e.g. 'main-pricing', 'enterprise') |
| children | (details) => ReactNode | Render prop receiving plan details (see below) |
| redirectBaseUrl | string | Base URL for post-login redirects (e.g. "https://app.com/dashboard"). Enables selectPlan() for unauthenticated users. |
| loadingFallback | ReactNode | Custom loading UI (defaults to skeleton) |
| errorFallback | (error: string) => ReactNode | Custom error UI |
Render prop details: { loading, error, items, plans, notes, refetch, selectPlan }
selectPlan(planVersionId, interval, currency)— One-call plan selection (handles auth + dialog automatically)
Response shape: items = subscription item definitions (features, limits, quotas with category); plans = plan versions with pricing, quotas, features, limits.
Backend requirement: GET /api/v1/public/{orgId}/plans/{groupSlug} must be implemented and allow unauthenticated access.

import {
getCurrencySymbol,
formatCents,
getPricingVariant,
getBasePriceCents,
getQuotaDisplayValue,
formatQuotaWithPrice,
} from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
// Display price for a plan version in a currency
const variant = getPricingVariant(planVersion, 'usd');
const cents = getBasePriceCents(planVersion, 'usd', 'monthly');
if (cents != null) {
console.log(getCurrencySymbol('usd') + (cents / 100).toFixed(2));
}
// Quota display with overage
const display = getQuotaDisplayValue(planVersion.quotas?.videos, 'monthly');
const text = formatQuotaWithPrice(display, 'video', { currency: 'usd' });📊 Quota Usage Tracking
Track and monitor metered usage for subscription quotas (e.g., API calls, emails, storage). Usage can be recorded from both the client-side (React app) and server-side (your backend).
When to use which?
| Scenario | Where to record | Why | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | User clicks "Send Email" button | Client-side (SDK hook) | User-initiated, immediate UI feedback needed | | API request hits your backend | Server-side (REST API) | Backend controls the resource, more secure | | Background job processes data | Server-side (REST API) | No browser context available | | File upload completes | Either | Depends on where validation happens |
As a general rule: record usage where the resource is consumed. If your backend processes the work, record from the backend. If it's a client-side action, record from the client.
Client-Side (React SDK)
Use the SDK hooks inside your React app. Quota gate components (see Quota Gates) automatically refresh after recording.
Record Usage
import { useRecordUsage, useSaaSWorkspaces } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function SendEmailButton() {
const { currentWorkspace } = useSaaSWorkspaces();
const { recordUsage, loading, error } = useRecordUsage(currentWorkspace?._id);
const handleSend = async () => {
try {
const result = await recordUsage({
quotaSlug: 'emails',
quantity: 1,
source: 'web-app', // optional: track where usage came from
idempotencyKey: 'email-abc', // optional: prevent duplicate recordings
});
console.log(`Used: ${result.consumed}/${result.included}, Available: ${result.available}`);
if (result.overage > 0) {
console.warn(`Overage: ${result.overage} units`);
}
} catch (err) {
console.error('Failed to record usage:', err);
}
};
return (
<button onClick={handleSend} disabled={loading}>
Send Email
</button>
);
}Check Single Quota Status

function QuotaStatusBar({ quotaSlug }: { quotaSlug: string }) {
const { currentWorkspace } = useSaaSWorkspaces();
const { status, loading, refetch } = useQuotaUsageStatus(currentWorkspace?._id, quotaSlug);
if (loading) return <Spinner />;
if (!status) return null;
const usagePercent = Math.round((status.consumed / status.included) * 100);
return (
<div>
<p>

Server-Side (REST API)
For backend services, background jobs, or API routes — call the BuildBase API directly. This is the recommended approach when usage happens on your server (e.g., processing an API request, running a cron job, handling webhooks).
Step 1: Get a Session ID
Exchange your org API token for a session ID. You can do this once and reuse the session for multiple requests (default expiry: 30 days).
// Do this once at startup or cache the result
const TOKEN = 'your-org-id:your-api-secret'; // from BuildBase dashboard
async function getSessionId(): Promise<string> {
const response = await fetch('https://your-server.buildbase.app/api/v1/public/token/exchange', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
token: TOKEN,
expiresIn: 2592000, // 30 days (optional, default is 30 days)
}),
});
const data = await response.json();
return data.sessionId;
}Step 2: Record Usage
const SESSION_ID = await getSessionId();
const BASE_URL = 'https://your-server.buildbase.app/api/v1/public';
async function recordUsage(workspaceId: string, quotaSlug: string, quantity: number) {
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/workspaces/${workspaceId}/subscription/usage`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-session-id': SESSION_ID,
},
body: JSON.stringify({
quotaSlug,
quantity,
source: 'backend', // optional: helps distinguish from client-side usage
metadata: {}, // optional: attach custom data
idempotencyKey: undefined, // optional: prevent duplicate recordings
}),
});
return response.json();
}
// Example: Record usage in an Express route handler
app.post('/api/generate-report', async (req, res) => {
const { workspaceId } = req.user; // your auth
// Record quota usage BEFORE or AFTER doing the work
const usage = await recordUsage(workspaceId, 'reports', 1);
if (usage.available <= 0 && !usage.hasOverage) {
return res.status(429).json({ error: 'Report quota exceeded' });
}
// ... generate the report ...
res.json({ success: true, quotaRemaining: usage.available });
});Step 3: Check Usage Status (Optional)
// Get status for a single quota
async function getQuotaStatus(workspaceId: string, quotaSlug: string) {
const response = await fetch(
`${BASE_URL}/workspaces/${workspaceId}/subscription/usage/status?quotaSlug=${quotaSlug}`,
{ headers: { 'x-session-id': SESSION_ID } }
);
return response.json();
// Returns: { quotaSlug, consumed, included, available, overage, hasOverage }
}
// Get status for ALL quotas
async function getAllQuotaStatus(workspaceId: string) {
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/workspaces/${workspaceId}/subscription/usage/all`, {
headers: { 'x-session-id': SESSION_ID },
});
return response.json();
// Returns: { quotas: { [slug]: { consumed, included, available, overage, hasOverage } } }
}
// Example: Check before allowing an action
app.post('/api/send-email', async (req, res) => {
const status = await getQuotaStatus(req.user.workspaceId, 'emails');
if (status.available <= 0) {
return res.status(429).json({
error: 'Email quota exceeded',
consumed: status.consumed,
included: status.included,
});
}
await recordUsage(req.user.workspaceId, 'emails', 1);
// ... send the email ...
});Batch Usage Recording (High-Volume)
For bulk operations (batch exports, cron jobs, webhooks) that process hundreds or thousands of items, use the batch endpoint to record all usage in a single request instead of calling the API per-item.
// Using BuildBase SDK (recommended)
import { BuildBase } from '@buildbase/sdk';
const bb = BuildBase({ serverUrl: BASE_URL, version: 'v1', orgId: ORG_ID, token: TOKEN });
await bb.usage.recordBatch(workspaceId, {
items: [
{ quotaSlug: 'images', quantity: 500, source: 'batch-export-job' },
{ quotaSlug: 'videos', quantity: 10, source: 'batch-export-job' },
{ quotaSlug: 'images', quantity: 200, metadata: { jobId: 'abc123' } },
],
});
// Returns: { success, total: 3, succeeded: 3, failed: 0, results: [...] }// Using REST API directly
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/workspaces/${workspaceId}/subscription/usage/batch`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'x-session-id': SESSION_ID, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
items: [
{ quotaSlug: 'images', quantity: 500, source: 'batch-export' },
{ quotaSlug: 'videos', quantity: 10 },
],
}),
});- Max 100 items per request
- Each item is processed independently — a single failure doesn't fail the batch
- Supports
metadata,source, andidempotencyKeyper item - Returns per-item results with
successorerrorfor each

🚦 Quota Gates
Control UI visibility based on quota usage status. Quota data is loaded once per workspace via QuotaUsageContextProvider (included in SaaSOSProvider by default) and refetched automatically after recording usage.
Gate Components
import {
WhenQuotaAvailable,
WhenQuotaExhausted,
WhenQuotaOverage,
WhenQuotaThreshold,
} from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function Dashboard() {
return (
<div>
{/* Show action button only when quota has remaining units */}
<WhenQuotaAvailable slug="api_calls">
<MakeApiCallButton />
</WhenQuotaAvailable>
{/* Show upgrade prompt when quota is fully consumed */}
<WhenQuotaExhausted slug="api_calls">
<UpgradePrompt message="You've used all your API calls this month." />
</WhenQuotaExhausted>
{/* Show warning when usage exceeds included amount (overage billing active) */}
<WhenQuotaOverage slug="api_calls">
<OverageBillingWarning />
</WhenQuotaOverage>
{/* Show warning when usage reaches 80% of included amount */}
<WhenQuotaThreshold slug="api_calls" threshold={80}>
<p>Warning: You've used over 80% of your API calls.</p>
</WhenQuotaThreshold>
</div>
);
}With Loading and Fallback
All quota gate components support optional loadingComponent and fallbackComponent props:
<WhenQuotaAvailable
slug="emails"
loadingComponent={<Skeleton className="h-10" />}
fallbackComponent={<p>Email quota exhausted. <a href="/upgrade">Upgrade now</a></p>}
>
<SendEmailButton />
</WhenQuotaAvailable>
<WhenQuotaThreshold
slug="storage"
threshold={90}
loadingComponent={<Spinner />}
fallbackComponent={null}
>
<StorageWarningBanner />
</WhenQuotaThreshold>Quota Gate Components Reference
| Component | Renders children when | Props |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| WhenQuotaAvailable | Quota has remaining units (available > 0) | slug, children, loadingComponent?, fallbackComponent? |
| WhenQuotaExhausted | Quota is fully consumed (available <= 0) | slug, children, loadingComponent?, fallbackComponent? |
| WhenQuotaOverage | Usage exceeds included amount (hasOverage) | slug, children, loadingComponent?, fallbackComponent? |
| WhenQuotaThreshold | Usage percentage >= threshold | slug, threshold (0-100), children, loadingComponent?, fallbackComponent? |
All gates must be used inside QuotaUsageContextProvider (included in SaaSOSProvider). By default they return null while loading or when the condition is not met.
useQuotaUsageContext
Use the hook when you need raw quota data or a manual refetch (e.g. after a bulk operation):
import { useQuotaUsageContext } from '@buildbase/sdk/react';
function QuotaDebug() {
const { quotas, loading, refetch } = useQuotaUsageContext();
if (loading) return <Spinner />;
if (!quotas) return <p>No quota data</p>;
return (
<div>
{Object.entries(quotas).map(([slug, usage]) => (
<p key={slug}>
{slug}: {usage.consumed}/{usage.included}
</p>
))}
<button onClick={() => refetch()}>
