BackendBuilder Documentation

Welcome to BackendBuilder, the AI-powered platform that revolutionizes how developers create backend APIs. This guide will help you get started with generating your first API in minutes.

Quick Start Guide

Create an account - Sign up for a free account to get started with BackendBuilder.
Create a new project - From your dashboard, click "AI Generator" to begin.
Describe your API - Use natural language to describe what you want your API to do.
Generate code - Our AI will generate a complete backend API based on your description.
Download or deploy - Download the code or deploy directly to your preferred hosting provider.

Pro Tip

The more detailed your API description, the better the generated code will match your requirements. Include entity relationships, authentication needs, and specific endpoints for best results.

Understanding Your Generated API

Each generated API includes the following components, designed to work together seamlessly:

Standard Project Structure

project-root/
├── src/
│   ├── controllers/    # Request handlers
│   ├── models/         # Data models
│   ├── routes/         # API endpoints
│   ├── middleware/     # Custom middleware
│   ├── utils/          # Helper functions
│   └── app.js          # Main application file
├── .env                # Environment variables
├── package.json        # Dependencies
└── README.md           # Documentation

Customizing Your API

While our AI generates production-ready code, you may want to customize it for your specific needs. Here are some common customizations:

Adding custom validation - Enhance the default validation with custom rules.
Implementing additional endpoints - Add specialized endpoints for your use case.
Integrating third-party services - Connect to payment processors, email services, etc.
Optimizing database queries - Fine-tune queries for better performance.

Important Note

Always review the generated code before deploying to production. While our AI produces high-quality code, understanding your codebase is essential for long-term maintenance and security.
