Build Your Backend

QUESTPIE backends follow a simple flow: define schema → run codegen → get typed runtime.

Schema Files                    Codegen Output

├── globals/*.ts        →    ├── CRUD API endpoints
├── routes/*.ts         →    ├── Custom app routes
├── jobs/*.ts           →    ├── Type-safe AppContext
├── services/*.ts       →    └── Client SDK types

Data Modeling

Define your collections, globals, fields, and relations. Fields are the single source of truth — they drive database schema, API validation, query operators, and UI rendering.

Rules

Add validation, access control, and lifecycle hooks to your collections. Control who can do what, when, and how.

Business Logic

Write server routes (JSON or raw HTTP), background jobs, and shared services. All handlers receive typed context with DI.

Architecture

Understand file conventions, the plugin system, modules, codegen, and the CLI.
