PocketBase and JavaScript Integration: A General Overview

PocketBase and JavaScript Integration: A General Overview
  1. Initialization:
    Before making any calls to PocketBase, you typically initialize the SDK with your specific configuration, such as API keys or endpoint URLs.
   const pocketBase = new PocketBase({
       apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
       endpoint: 'YOUR_POCKETBASE_ENDPOINT'
   });
  1. Database Operations:
    With the SDK initialized, you can perform CRUD operations on your database.
   // Create a new record
   pocketBase.database('collectionName').create({ key: 'value' });

   // Fetch records
   pocketBase.database('collectionName').find({ filterCriteria: 'value' });
  1. Authentication:
    PocketBase’s SDK would likely provide methods to handle user authentication.
   // Sign up a new user
   pocketBase.auth().signup({ email: 'user@example.com', password: 'password123' });

   // Log in an existing user
   pocketBase.auth().login({ email: 'user@example.com', password: 'password123' });
  1. File Storage:
    Storing and retrieving files can be done using dedicated methods.
   // Upload a file
   pocketBase.storage().upload(fileObject);

   // Retrieve a file
   pocketBase.storage().get('fileIdentifier');

Please note that the above code samples are hypothetical and are based on typical SDK patterns. You would need to refer to the official PocketBase documentation or their GitHub repository for exact code samples and detailed documentation.
