typed-pocketbase

Add types to the PocketBase JavaScript SDK.

Installation

# npm
npm i typed-pocketbase

# pnpm
pnpm i typed-pocketbase

# yarn
yarn add typed-pocketbase

Usage

Generate the types:

npx typed-pocketbase --email [email protected] --password supersecretpassword -o Database.d.ts

The codegen tool will look for POCKETBASE_EMAIL and POCKETBASE_PASSWORD environment variables if the email or password are not passed using cli options.

Create a PocketBase client:

import PocketBase from 'pocketbase';
import { TypedPocketBase } from 'typed-pocketbase';
import { Schema } from './Database';

const db = new PocketBase('http://localhost:8090') as TypedPocketBase<Schema>;

Enjoy full type-safety:

import { neq, sort, fields } from 'typed-pocketbase';

db.collection('posts').getList(1, 10, {
	fields: fields('id', 'title', 'content'),
	sort: sort('-date'),
	filter: neq('content', '')
});

Supported methods

• getFullList
• getList
• getFirstListItem
• getOne
• create
• update
• subscribe

Selecting fields

Use the fields function to select the properties:

Note: Don´t use expand when selecting fields

import { fields } from 'typed-pocketbase';

db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	fields: fields('id', 'title', 'content')
});

// conditionally select fields
// falsy values are excluded
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	fields: fields(shouldIncludeId && 'id', 'title', 'content')
});

Filtering columns

Use the and, or and other utility functions to filter rows:

import { and, or, eq } from 'typed-pocketbase';

// get all posts created in 2022
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	// a "manual" filter is a tuple of length 3
	filter: and(['date', '<', '2023-01-01'], ['data', '>=', '2022-01-01'])
});

// get all posts expect for those created in 2022
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	filter: or(['date', '>=', '2023-01-01'], ['data', '<', '2022-01-01'])
});

// get all posts that were create at '2023-01-01'
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	filter: eq('date', '2023-01-01')
});

// combine or/and with helpers and manual filters
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	filter: or(
		//
		['date', '>=', '2023-01-01'],
		lt('date', '2022-01-01')
	)
});

// conditionally filter rows
// falsy values are excluded
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	filter: and(
		//
		gte('date', '2022-01-01'),
		!untilNow && lt('date', '2023-01-01')
	)
});

// filter for columns in relations
// works up to 6 levels deep, including the top level
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	filter: eq('owner.name', 'me')
});

Most filter operators are available as short hand function.

Visit the pocketbase documentation to find out about all filters in the List/Search records section.

Sorting rows

Use sort, asc and desc to sort the rows:

import { sort, asc, desc } from 'typed-pocketbase';

db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	// sort by descending 'date'
	sort: desc('date')
});

db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	// sort by descending 'date' and ascending 'title'
	sort: sort('-date', '+title')
});

db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	// sort by descending 'date' and ascending 'title'
	sort: sort(desc('date'), asc('title'))
});

// you can mix functions with +/- prefixes
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	// sort by descending 'date' and ascending 'title'
	sort: sort(desc('date'), '+title')
});

// conditionally sort rows
// falsy values are excluded
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	sort: sort(
		//
		desc('date'),
		sortTitle && asc('title')
	)
});

Expanding

Use the expand function to expand relations:

Note: Don´t use fields when expanding as fields only works for the top level and expand would end up as an empty object

import { expand } from 'typed-pocketbase';

db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	expand: expand({
		user: true
	})
});

// nested expand
db.collection('posts').getFullList({
	expand: expand({
		user: {
			profile: true
		}
	})
});
