    Type-safe PocketBase development — automatically.

    pocketbase-schema is a utility that generates TypeScript types from your PocketBase collections. It’s built for developers who want safety, clarity, and DX improvements when building apps on top of PocketBase.

    Features

    • Automatic Type Generation: Pull your PocketBase schema and generate complete TypeScript definitions for collections and records.
    • Collections Enum: Access collection names as constants instead of raw strings.
    • Field Type Enums: Automatically generate enums for select field options.
    • Flexible CLI & API: Run it as a script or import it into your toolchain. It supports both approaches cleanly.
    • Local-First Config: Uses cosmiconfig so you can configure it with pocketbase-schema.config.js, package.json, or a custom location.

    Installation

    npm install @sparkstone/pocketbase-schema --save-dev

    or

    pnpm add @sparkstone/pocketbase-schema --save-dev

    Usage

    Once installed, run the CLI to generate types from your schema export:

    pocketbase-schema generate --input=pb_schema.json --output=src/lib/pb-types.ts

    You can also run it programmatically in a Node script:

    import { generate } from '@sparkstone/pocketbase-schema';

generate({
  input: './pb_schema.json',
  output: './src/lib/pb-types.ts',
});

    “We built pocketbase-schema because we love PocketBase — and we wanted full type safety without manual copy-pasting.”
