+# Pocketbase example
+
+This is an example showing a basic integration of Remix with [Pocketbase](https://pocketbase.io/).
+
+## Example
+
+### Getting started
+
+First, install dependencies in both the root folder (right here)
+
+```bash
+npm i
+```
+
+Then, start both the Remix and Pocketbase with
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+### Pocketbase
+
+In this example, a Pocketbase instance will be downloaded to `pocketbase/`. Using the migration framework, an admin user and app user will be created. A `realtime_example` collection will be created and supported with `pocketbase/pb_hooks/realtime.pb.js` by a `cronAdd` function. __In order for the email verification and forgot-password emails to work, you will need to setup SMTP in the Pocketbase admin.__ You can also manually verify new accounts in the Pocketbase admin for testing.
+
+> Note that in a real app, you'd likely not have your admin password commited in a migration. This is for demo purposes only.
+
+#### Administration Panel
+
+Pocketbase's administration panel is at [http://localhost:8090/_](http://localhost:8090/_).
+
+<pre>
+# Credentials
+Email:    <strong>pocketbase@remix.example</strong>
+Password: <strong>Passw0rd</strong>
+</pre>
+
+### Remix
+
+The Remix app is at http://localhost:3000. The following routes are provided:
+
+- __/__ - with links to the below
+- __/login__ - populated with the test user by default
+- __/register__ - populated with `2+pocketbase@remix.example` by default
+- __/forgot-password__ - populated with the test user's email by default
+- __/admin__ - accessible only after login and count is auto updated by way of Pocketbase's Realtime API
+
+There are two Pocketbase files, `pb.server.ts` and `pb.client.ts`. `pb.server.ts` handles the connection to the server for the auth and setting the cookies for persistence. It can also be used in the `loader` functions to prepopulate data on the server. `pb.client.ts` creates a new Pocketbase instance for the client. It uses the cookie setup on server for authenticating. You can use the client export for `useEffect` hooks or the realtime data API. `admin.tsx` has an example of loading data on the server and the realtime API.
+
+You may want to implement a `Content Security Policy` as this setup requires `httpOnly: false` set on the Pocketbase cookie to share between the server and client. This demo does not cover CSP.
