NocoDB is an open source Airtable alternative that instantly also generates REST APIs on any MySQL database!
For this example :
We will be using a fairly large mysql database (close to 400 tables) as input to NocoDB and create REST APIs automatically.
Without further ado-lets get into the gist of things.
Pre-requisites
- Node.js or Docker
- An existing MySQL database
Getting started
Using npx
npx create-nocodb-app
Using Docker
docker run -d --name nocodb -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb
Now, let's see a quick demo
In the demo, NocoDB automatically first inferred the database schema then generated REST APIs for each table-and-relation with Swagger documentation! All of this was without write a single line of code.
Where can I find more details about NocoDB ?
