Setting up Databases (devbase)

In the previous section, we briefly touched on how devbase handles data storage.

Now, let’s go deeper — how your app remembers things and how you can view, understand, and work with that data.

What is a Database Schema?

When you prompt the AI to use Devbase, it creates something called a database schema behind the scenes.

Think of it as a blueprint that defines:

What data your app stores

How that data is structured

Who can create or change it

What should happen automatically when users interact with the app

You don’t write this yourself — the AI generates it based on your prompt.

🔍 Inside a Schema – Example

Let’s say you built a game where users place a bet, try their luck, and withdraw winnings.

Devbase might auto-generate something like:

json

"fields": {
  "isWin": "Boolean",
  "betAmount": "Number",
  "profit": "Number",
  "mines": "Number",
  "gemsFound": "Number",
  "withdrawalStatus": "String"
}

This would store data every time someone plays:

isWin – Did the user win?

betAmount – How much did they bet?

profit – How much did they earn?

mines, gemsFound – Game-specific stats

It can also include rules:

Only the player can see or update their own games

And actions:

On game creation → Send coins from the user’s wallet to a vault + set withdrawalStatus to "none"

And payout logic:

Check if withdrawal is allowed

Calculate payout, mark "completed", send coins from vault to player

Why Schemas Matter

Your schema is the brain of your app. It ensures:

Data security (users can only see/change their own data)

Safe coin transfers during actions

Game results & logic are stored, protected, and consistent

How to View Your Schema

Go to Configuration → Devbase:

JSON schema – Shows the exact data structure

Plain language explanation – Describes what’s stored and how it’s used

Tip: Switch to Brainstorm Mode and ask:

“Explain my schema”
The AI will walk you through it line-by-line.

When This Helps

Debugging issues

Extending app logic

Understanding your backend

⚠ If Devbase is empty or inactive, it means you haven’t triggered it yet. Just prompt the AI:

“Use Devbase to save each game a user plays, and add a history tab that lists all their past games.”

Editing Your Schema

Yes — you can change stored data at any time.

Update your prompt with new instructions

Or use Brainstorm Mode to describe new data you want stored

Example:

“Also store how many times each player has used the app.”
Devbase will update your schema & logic automatically.

Summary – Schema Made Simple

Schema = Your app’s data + logic blueprint

Defines what is stored, how, and who can change it

Generated automatically by dev.fun from your prompt

Can be viewed, updated, and understood anytime — no coding needed
