Quick Start

Get up and running with pb-ext in minutes

Make sure you have Go 1.25.7+ installed, then create your project: ```bash theme={null} mkdir my-pb-project && cd my-pb-project go mod init my-pb-project go get github.com/magooney-loon/pb-ext ``` Set up your server with the basic configuration: ```go cmd/server/main.go theme={null} package main import ( "log" app "github.com/magooney-loon/pb-ext/core" "github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/core" ) func main() { srv := app.New(app.InDeveloperMode()) app.SetupLogging(srv) srv.App().OnServe().BindFunc(func(e *core.ServeEvent) error { app.SetupRecovery(srv.App(), e) return e.Next() }) if err := srv.Start(); err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } } ``` Install the build toolchain and start your server: ```bash theme={null} go install github.com/magooney-loon/pb-ext/cmd/pb-cli@latest pb-cli --run-only ``` Your server will start at `http://127.0.0.1:8090`. Access the PocketBase admin at `/_/` and the pb-ext dashboard at `/_/_`.
