App

Why this ?

Generating REST APIs for ANY exisitng MySql/Postgres database which does not follow conventions of frameworks such as rails, django, laravel etc is a small adventure that one like to avoid .. Hence this.

Getting started :

NocoDB is really simple and minimalistic to get started. NocoDB requires either node or docker installed on your machine.

Using npm

npx create-nocodb-app
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using docker

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Thank you for checking - NocoDB does support GraphQL too! And you can choose the API type while creating the project. :D
