# PocketBase Module Usage Examples

This file contains practical examples of how to use the PocketBase CRUD module in Wappler Server Connect.

## Example 1: Basic Blog System

### Step 1: Setup Connection
Create a Server Action called `pb_connect.json`:

```json
{
  "meta": {
    "options": {
      "linkedFile": "/api/pb_connect",
      "linkedForm": "pb_connect"
    },
    "$_GET": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "name": "test"
      }
    ]
  },
  "exec": {
    "steps": [
      {
        "name": "connect",
        "module": "pocketbase",
        "action": "connect",
        "options": {
          "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8090"
        },
        "output": true
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

    },
    "$_POST": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "name": "email"
      },

## Frontend Integration Examples

### JavaScript Fetch Examples

```javascript
// Authenticate user
async function loginUser(email, password) {
  const response = await fetch('/api/pb_auth', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
  });
  
  const result = await response.json();
  if (result.authenticate.success) {
    console.log('User logged in:', result.authenticate.user);
    return result.authenticate;
  } else {
    throw new Error('Login failed');
  }
}

// Get posts with pagination
async function getPosts(page = 1, category = null, search = null) {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({ page });
  if (category) params.append('category', category);
  if (search) params.append('search', search);
  
  const response = await fetch(`/api/pb_get_posts?${params}`);
  const result = await response.json();
  
  return result.get_posts;
}

// Create new post
async function createPost(postData, featuredImage) {
  const formData = new FormData();
  Object.keys(postData).forEach(key => {
    formData.append(key, postData[key]);
  });
  
  if (featuredImage) {
    formData.append('featured_image', featuredImage);
  }
  
  const response = await fetch('/api/pb_create_post', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: formData
  });
  
  const result = await response.json();
  return result.create_post;
}
```

### App Connect Data Bindings

```html
<!-- Display posts list -->
<div dmx-repeat:posts="serverconnect1.data.get_posts.items">
  <div class="card mb-3">
    <div class="card-body">
      <h5 class="card-title">{{title}}</h5>
      <p class="card-text">{{content.substr(0, 150)}}...</p>
      <small class="text-muted">
        By {{expand.author.name}} on {{created.formatDate('MMM dd, yyyy')}}
      </small>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Pagination -->
<nav>
  <ul class="pagination">
    <li class="page-item" dmx-class:disabled="serverconnect1.data.get_posts.page == 1">
      <a class="page-link" href="#" dmx-on:click="serverconnect1.load({page: serverconnect1.data.get_posts.page - 1})">Previous</a>
    </li>
    <li class="page-item" dmx-class:disabled="serverconnect1.data.get_posts.page == serverconnect1.data.get_posts.totalPages">
      <a class="page-link" href="#" dmx-on:click="serverconnect1.load({page: serverconnect1.data.get_posts.page + 1})">Next</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>
```
