Phantom API - A self-generating backend for modern apps
Introducing Phantom API: A Dynamic Backend System for Modern Frontend Development
As frontend developers, we often face the challenge of building and maintaining backend systems that are both flexible and efficient. Traditional backend development can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when it comes to creating and managing APIs, database schemas, and validation rules.
That's where Phantom API comes in. Phantom API is an open-source backend system that automatically generates API endpoints, database tables, and validation schemas based on frontend API calls. This approach allows developers to focus more on building features and less on boilerplate code.
Key Features:
Dynamic API and Table Creation: Phantom API automatically creates RESTful API endpoints and corresponding database tables based on the data you send from the frontend. This eliminates the need for manual schema definitions and migrations.
Advanced Relations: The system detects relationships between entities (e.g., foreign keys) based on field names and automatically sets up the appropriate database constraints.
Built-in Policies: Implement role-based and attribute-based access control policies without the need for additional configuration.
Admin Interface: A modern React-based admin panel allows you to manage your data, view logs, and configure policies.
Docker-Ready Deployment: Phantom API is containerized and ready for deployment using Docker, making it easy to set up and scale.
