Acknowledgments

Special thanks to PRCV1 for creating the original PocketBase C# SDK and laying the groundwork for this project. His excellent work made this continuation possible.

This fork exists with his approval.

Installation

Structure:

• Example (Blazor demo site)
• PocketBaseSharp (The SDK)
• PocketBaseSharp.Tests
• PocketBase (Database & windows binary)

Running the demo project:

• Set example.csproj as startup project
• Open \PocketBase\pocketbase.exe in terminal and run the following command to start the PocketBase instance: pocketbase.exe serve
• Visit http://127.0.0.1:8090/_/ to access the database directly

Pocketbase admin login: Email: admin@admin.com PW: demo123456

Example blazor demo login (User): Email: admin@admin.com PW: demo1234

Example blazor admin dashboard: Access the admin dashboard at /admin/login with: Email: admin@admin.com PW: demo123456 (PocketBase admin password)

The admin dashboard includes:

• Admin authentication
• Database backup management (create, download, restore, delete)

example/wwwroot/appsettings.json to change PocketBase instance address.

Using the SDK:

• Add PocketSharpSDK to your solution
• Add PocketSharpSDK to your project as a reference
• Nuget package coming in the future

Getting Started

using PocketBaseSharp;

Create a new client which connects to your PocketBase API

var client = new PocketBase("http://127.0.0.1:8090");

Authenticate as an Admin

var admin = await client.Admin.AuthWithPasswordAsync("admin@admin.com", "demo123456");

Or as a User

var user = await client.User.AuthWithPasswordAsync("admin@admin.com", "demo1234");

Query some data (for example, some ToDo items) Note: Each CRUD action requires a data type which inherits from the base class 'BaseModel'.

var restaurantList = await client.Collection("todos").GetFullListAsync<todos>();

Manage backups (Admin only)

// Create a new backup
var result = await client.Backup.CreateAsync("my-backup.zip");

// List all backups
var backups = await client.Backup.GetFullListAsync();

// Download a backup
var stream = await client.Backup.DownloadAsync("my-backup.zip");

// Restore from backup (⚠️ Destructive - replaces current database)
await client.Backup.RestoreAsync("my-backup.zip");
(not functional when pocketbase is hosted by windows. Will work with Linux though.

// Delete a backup
await client.Backup.DeleteAsync("my-backup.zip");
