Wondering if you had a chance to try Fastgen?
My struggle with no-code backends has been the amount of clicks it takes just to set up an endpoint to insert, read, and delete data.
I’ve been working on a low-code/no-code API service project of my own, and was hoping to get some feedback from the community here to see if it would be of any interest to use with weweb.
My idea is simple: you give a JSON schema, which specifies the shape and validation of your fields, and you get a simple create, read, update, and delete endpoint.
Fastgen also has some “json validation”, which I like. But I didn’t like all the clicks, control flows, etc. I had to setup as well.
So a todo API would look something like this:
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "Todo",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"title": {
"type": "string"
},
"completed": {
"type": "boolean"
},
"dueDate": {
"type": ["string", "null"],
"format": "date"
}
},
"required": ["title", "completed"]
}
And you would be up and ready to go. I also have view for manual data entry, and a records view to review data.
The only downside to my idea, is all the data relationships would have to be embedded in the single schema. But if people don’t often have the requirement of complex relationships, then maybe it would work? What sort of use cases do you have?
