airspace

The database you already have.

getair.space

Every ~~Bluesky~~ atmosphere account comes with a personal data server: a cms, login, file storage and a public API that you own.

• you own your data. Records live in your own repo under your own schema. Switch tools or hosts – or even stop using airspace – and everything still works.
• no database to run. Reads, writes, auth and images are all handled by your own PDS. airspace is a typed client.
• drafts built in. Experimental permissioned spaces for private data, with a single call to publish.
• typed from your schema. Define the model once. Records, keys, joins and OAuth scopes are inferred magically. ✨

example

// lexicons.ts
import { defineLexicons, field } from 'airspace/lexicon'

export default defineLexicons('dev.roe', {
  note: {
    title: field.text(),
    body: field.markdown(),
    createdAt: field.datetime(),
  },
})

// notes.ts
import { createAirspace, defineCollection, passwordSession } from 'airspace'
import lexicons from './lexicons.ts'

const notes = defineCollection(lexicons.note)

export const airspace = createAirspace({
  identity: 'roe.dev',
  collections: { notes },
  session: await passwordSession({ service: 'https://pds.example', identifier: 'roe.dev', password: process.env.PDS_APP_PASSWORD! }),
})

const published = await airspace.notes.list({ limit: 10 })
await airspace.notes.create({ title: 'Hello', body: '# hi', createdAt: new Date().toISOString() })

[!WARNING] Permissioned spaces, where drafts and private records live, are experimental. They need a PDS running prerelease software: atproto's permissioned-data branch, or the @atproto/pds spaces alpha. Hosted PDSes, including bsky.social, do not support them yet. The API may change.

docs

getair.space/docs.

examples

• examples/nuxt: a Nitro plugin providing an airspace client + server routes +@comark/vue.
• examples/astro: static generation + getStaticPaths + Astro actions for writing.
• examples/sveltekit: load functions + form actions with field-level validation.
• examples/node: a CLI with no framework and no build step.

The demo on getair.space is the same app, running against a sandbox account on a demo PDS.

development

• Clone this repository
• Install dependencies with pnpm install
• Run the tests with pnpm dev. They run against a real PDS with permissioned spaces, booted in process with @atproto/dev-env
• Run pnpm dev:pds for a PDS on port 2583 that stays up, printing dotenv-shaped credentials for two accounts
• Run pnpm lex:build to regenerate src/lex from lexicons/
• Run pnpm size to print the bundle size table in the docs
