Use this app as a starting point for your own customized PocketBase backend with SvelteKit frontend. This is a high-performance frontend+backend combination since frontend is static and backend is a single compiled Golang binary (JAMstack).

• SvelteKit frontend is fully static, client-side only so that here is no need for NodeJS at runtime. It is generated using adapter-static
• PocketBase provides complete (and fast) backend including:
  • databse (SQLite)
  • CRUD API for database
  • realtime subscriptions for LIVE data (server push to browser)
  • Authentication and Authorization (email + social login)
  • file storage (local filesystem or S3)
• PocketBase can be downloaded as binary. But if you want to extend it with custom Golang code then code is included to compile it locally with extensions such as custom endpoints (e.g. /api/hello) and database event hooks (e.g. executing Go handler functions when a database row is created)

Follow these step EXACTLY, or else it won't work.

1. Follow ./backend/README.md
2. Follow ./frontend/README.md

After you've done the setup in the above two README files, run the backend and the frontend in dev mode.

npm run backend:dev
npm run dev

Now making changes in the Svelte code (frontend) or Go code (backend) will show results (almost) immediately.

To use the app as a user / tester ...

• visit the frontend URL (e.g. http://localhost:5173)
• Navigate around. The Home page is not very interesting.
• The hello page shows and example of frontend calling a custom backend API implemented in Go.
• The posts page shows all existing posts. If that page is empty, then you might want to create some posts. You must be logged in to be able to create posts.
• Into the Login form, you can enter an existing username/password, or check the register checkbox to create a new account (it registers the user and log in immediately).

The above are just some sample features. Now go ahead and implement all kinds of new features.

• Create new collections.
• Create new pages that manipulate the above collections.

See the build process details in the README files for backend and frontend.

Please read about the "hooks" system in ./backend/README.md It is a very easy and powerful way to extend your application with minimal configuration and perhaps no code.
