Show IH: BackendLab posted on ProductHunt
Hi all, I just submitted my startup, BackendLab, to ProductHunt. The beta program is ongoing and I'm looking to get some feedback from developers on whether they think they might use the product
Thanks,
Chris
@christopherdavies tell me if there is any possibility to add registration and login feature? Or oauth2 with object permissions?
If i going to create my own app with any user required features then i can't use your system and i won't use two systems - one, my own to store user etc and second one to API.
Hi Michael, at present we only support basic auth, but the plan has always been to add alternatives.
However, are you saying that you'd want an API to create new users from your own front end? Because the app already supports that, it's just not especially well documented yet
Create and authenticate. For example authenticate as user1 and have permission for objects only related to this user.
Now i find 'users' but honestly i have no idea how to connect them with objects. Imo it is really critical functionality.
I hope you got my problem...
I think I understand... you want to add new users via the API, and then add those users to a specific user group?
Do you need to also dynamically create permissions to models, or are those already set?
All these things are already possible, but the documentation for this part is still very much WIP. If you confirm that this is the problem you are facing, I'll write up a quick guide and email it to you until I can get the proper docs up
Almost...
My idea was create a little game using your API and i want to create model 'UserPlanet' with some fields. One user have many planets so there is foreign key in UserPlanet model.
Groups has permission to whole model not for specified objects.
Now my problem is how to add this fk and how i can restrict user permission only for objects (UserPlanet) assigned to him.
Maybe your solution is not for this kind of apps.. it was my first idea so i tried...
I don't know if this is spam so we can move this conversation on email also, up to you ;)
Right, so what you actually want to do is have the ability to add a ForeignKey from your UserPlanet model to the built in User object?
If so, then this isn't possible right now, but it is in the pipeline (I had always planned on making the built in user models extendable).
Give me till the end up the week, and I'll see if I can get that one out to you ASAP
Is your audience no-coders or devs who could build something faster?
I guess both, really
I am new on ProductHunt but you have my vote :D
Have you consider to add other, noSql database in next stage of project?
Thanks Michael. I haven't really given too much thought to noSql yet. I think that actually one of the unique things about BackendLab is that it offers a SQL solution whereas there are a few others already doing nosql
