What is CASE ?

CASE is a Typescript lightweight BaaS (Backend As A Service) requiring minimal coding.

It provides a complete backend to your client app without the hassle that comes with it.

Key features

• ⚡ Instant backend with DB, REST API and Admin panel without any configuration
• 🧠 Smart SDK to import in your favorite JS front-end
• 🛠️ Essential features like Auth, Storage, Validation and Hooks

Forget about drag-and-drop visual builders

With CASE, you structure your data using TypeScript classes straight from your coding environment.

// entities/cat.entity.ts
@Entity()
export class Cat extends BaseEntity {
  @Prop()
  name: string

  @Prop({
    type: PropType.Date
  })
  birthDate: Date

  @Prop({
    type: PropType.Relation,
    options: {
      entity: Owner
    }
  })
  owner: Owner
}

Effortless integration in your client app

And allow the following code in your JS client built with your favorite stack: React, Svelte, Angular, Vue or any front-end. You can even use it in NodeJS.

import CaseClient from '@casejs/case-client'

// Init SDK
const cs = new CaseClient()

// Get all cats with their owner
const cats = await cs.from('cats').with(['owner']).find()

// Filter cats.
const cats = await cs
  .from('cats')
  .where('breed = siamese')
  .andWhere('birthDate > 2020-01-01')
  .find()

// Create a new cat.
const newCat = await cs.from('cats').create({
  name: 'Milo',
  age: 2
})

// Upload.
const fileUrl: string = await cs.from('cats').addFile(file)

// Login.
await cs.login('users', '[email protected]', 'case')
