In order to use it from your extension, follow this small “tutorial” by me

@pavi2410
Grateful for the guidance.
I will strive in trying to do something useful; getting it I publish to help the people.

Starting from scratch?
You need the url
You need the parameters for each API resource.
And ?

I referred to using the web component code to not start programming the plugin from scratch.

I already use APIs perfectly with the web component, but it’s really boring to assemble a function with a bunch of blocks for each API endpoint.
I plan to do this faster and cleaner with the plugin.

Rogerio_Rios · July 3, 2021, 6:56pm

Yes…but it doesn’t
the functions are not performed on the server?

laboratoriodosfundos · July 3, 2021, 7:17pm

Yes of course, but I’m referring to the API endpoint calls.

Today to create an account you need something like this:

With the plugin I intend it to be something like this:
blocks(1)

I know this doesn’t answer your question, however, I keep hearing about this. Can you explain further how it’s better than Firebase? From what I’ve seen, it’s not.

laboratoriodosfundos · July 3, 2021, 8:09pm

I didn’t say it’s better, I said it’s an excellent open source alternative.
For my use, which basically is CRUD and backend functions, it serves well and the cost is interesting, the free plan is already enough for many projects.
Selects and security rules are much more refined, I have no doubt.
It would be very difficult for an independent initiative with a few months to make a product more powerful than firebase, but I bet that at some point they will get there!
Do tests, I think you’ll like the service as I do.

Rogerio_Rios · July 3, 2021, 8:17pm

Where is endpoint parameters? Url, will they be the same? How many parameters?

Rogerio_Rios · July 3, 2021, 8:20pm

Is this NoSQL-Database?

hammerhai · July 3, 2021, 8:21pm

laboratoriodosfundos · July 3, 2021, 8:23pm

The global URL is the base, the rest changes with each endpoint.
Some data creation endpoint has multiple parameters.

Rogerio_Rios · July 3, 2021, 8:23pm

Okay. So forget it.

laboratoriodosfundos · July 3, 2021, 8:24pm

PostgreSQL, the rock!

Rogerio_Rios · July 3, 2021, 8:25pm

Okay. So forget it.Nosql…
Ok… Forget It…

Web Component … in 3 minutes + php Scripts + database relational

hammerhai · July 3, 2021, 8:33pm

They can also use JS, which in my opinion would be way easier since there’s already standardized support for it.

Rogerio_Rios · July 3, 2021, 8:38pm

I cited php script as he cited a relational database . Only that.

Good work and good luck!

Can anyone explain how to use Web block to make CRUD with Supabase and how to use it as a Realtime DB.

There is a website: “Curl to block” that can be useful to everyone: Curl to blocks by By Hritik R.
