How I Build about 60% of My App's Codebase in a day.

As a software developer, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can streamline my workflow and boost productivity. Recently, I had the opportunity to use a SaaS platform called The Coders Bakery, and I must say, it was a game-changer. The platform promises to help developers build a significant portion of their app's codebase quickly and efficiently, and it certainly delivered on that promise.

First Impressions

The Coders Bakery has an intuitive and user-friendly interface. From the moment I signed up, I could tell that a lot of thought had gone into making the platform as accessible as possible. The dashboard is clean, and the onboarding process is straightforward, guiding you through the initial steps with ease.

The Setup

Setting up my project on The Coders Bakery was a breeze. After providing some basic information about my app and its requirements, the platform quickly generated a project structure tailored to my needs. This included the core components, libraries, and dependencies that I would need to get started.

Code Generation

One of the standout features of The Coders Bakery is its code generation capabilities. Within minutes, the platform had generated around 60% of my app's codebase. This included:

• Authentication Module: Complete with user registration, login, and password recovery functionalities.
• Database Integration: Pre-configured models and ORM setup for seamless database operations.
• API Endpoints: RESTful APIs for all major CRUD operations.
• UI Components: Basic yet functional UI components using popular frameworks.

The generated code was clean, well-documented, and adhered to best practices. It was clear that the team behind The Coders Bakery had put in a lot of effort to ensure that the code was not only functional but also maintainable.

Customization and Flexibility

While the generated code provided a solid foundation, it was also highly customizable. The platform allowed me to tweak the generated components to suit my specific needs. Whether it was modifying the database schema, adjusting the API routes, or customizing the UI elements, The Coders Bakery provided the flexibility to make changes easily.

Collaboration and Integration

Another great aspect of The Coders Bakery is its integration with popular payment gateway like paypal, razorpay or stripe. Additionally, the platform supports integration with Email and SMS services.

Time and Effort Saved

By using The Coders Bakery, I was able to save a significant amount of time and effort. Tasks that would have taken days or even weeks were completed in a matter of minutes. This allowed me to focus more on the unique aspects of my app, such as fine-tuning the user experience and adding custom features, rather than getting bogged down with boilerplate code.

Steps to create My Project

I wanted to build a Restaurant Rating App in which users can rate the dishes of the restaurant and it will generate the rating of the restaurant. I needed an admin panel from where admin can add restaurant and dishes and monitor user’s ratings. So i needed an admin panel, user facing UIs, obviously whole User authentication and authorization and Email services for notification. I wanted the functionality where users can comment on dishes improvement and likes, dislikes.

So First thing i did was list down all Entities I will need in my app:

• User
• Restaurant
• Dish
• Ingredient
• Rating
• Comment

Now picking up each entity, i added all properties i need in each entity, like:

Then i put all these details in the Dashboard and creating relation between entities was super simple. Then by just one click, the whole codebase was ready to be used.

Conclusion

The Coders Bakery has proven to be an invaluable tool in my software development toolkit. Its ability to generate a substantial portion of my app's codebase quickly and efficiently has significantly accelerated my development process. If you're a developer looking to boost your productivity and streamline your workflow, I highly recommend giving The Coders Bakery a try. It’s not just about saving time; it’s about delivering quality code faster and focusing on what truly matters—building great applications.

With The Coders Bakery, you can turn your coding dreams into reality, one project at a time.

You really had a good experience. I noticed there is no diclosure?

[kamran]

That i can jot down in next blog.

Please keep in mind that AI tools learn through interactions, prompts and conversations, it's only matter of time, humans won't be needed for coding altogether

[Sharon Fabin]

Actually not so much, any of these generated code bases is nice for small projects. Once you start to get into more complex logic yiu realize the generated code is really bad and can't be used almost at all.

[Victor Mombeyarara]

So 100% true. Once you have a larger and more complex project, you need to generate the code is small bits and pieces. And this is why I believe humans are still going to be needed because only a human can put it all together into a fully functioning app.

[kamran]

Yes, its like humans cant be replaced, may be it will reduce no of devs, may be.

[leob]

Yeah maybe, maybe not ... let's wait and see!

[kamran]

Thats inevitable, we just have to be prepare to live with it

[rakesh debur]

Sounds Super Interesting, Kamran.

Thank you for sharing a detailed review.

I am in fact looking for something similar for my App.

I have built the UI of the web app using V0.dev from Vercel which uses Next Js and Shad cn and now looking to implement the backend for it via consumable apis for user & content management.

It would be great if you can share your complete experience in a follow up article article on rest of the features like User, Auth Api's & Dashboard generated with Customization options.

[kamran]

Yeah, sure why not, i will share the detailed experience in next article.
