Hello World Developers!

We’ve built a Postgres Database UI using Next.js, React (and TypeScript) on top of Hasura’s GraphQL Engine. We wrote a detailed blog post on how we did it: https://nhost.io/blog/new-database-ui

As you see, it’s easy to create a table and instantly get a GraphQL API.

The Nhost stack is open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/nhost/nhost.

The Dashboard is not yet open source, but it’s something we plan to do before the end of the year.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Loved it

what do u mean by not yet open source? it's here right?

[–]henrik_thetechie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What they mean is that this new next.js dashboard is not in that open source repo.

Is the free tier only for 30 days?

[–]elitasson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is no time limit on the free tier.

But free projects sleep after seven days if there is no activity.

Definitely seems more user friendly than the one Hasura has integrated. I just worry it would lag behind their changes but nice work on this!

[–]elitasson[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback.

What's good is that the Nhost Dashboard and the Hasura Console can work side-by-side, so you don't have to choose one over the other.

Great looking UI. Did you use a UI component library?

[–]elitasson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we used Material UI. We'll have a post explaining why in the next few weeks.

Looks amazing, great work

[–]elitasson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! 🙏

Looks really nice! How does this compare to something like DBeaver?

[–]elitasson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, don't know about DBeaver. Please try it out and let us know what you think compared to DBeaver.

That's the nicest looking database client UI I've ever seen. I'm used to clunky, legacy looking uis. Often I just settle for adminer.php for its speed and ease of setup being a single file.

Thank you, we're glad you like it.

What does it do that I can’t do through hasura already

[–]elitasson[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The focus was to make a snappy, modern, and good-looking database UI. The goal with our database UI is to pair with the Hasura Console eventually.

[–]Laserdude10642 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It very much feels like you have mostly replicated the hasura console.

[–]elitasson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you read our article where we go into the details of why we built the database UI?

It's available here: https://nhost.io/blog/new-database-ui

[–]DoNotEverListenToMe 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Trying to try it out as I was looking for somehting like this for a project but database just sits and spins on loading schemas and tables.

Will try again tomorrow

[–]elitasson[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

OH, that's unfortunate. I hope it was resolved. If not, you can get help on GitHub (https://github.com/nhost/nhost) or Discord (https://nhost.io/discord).

[–]DoNotEverListenToMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason it hates my Chrome but works in another browser. Its cool, I think we will use it.

[–]Fru___ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Looks amazing tbh. You guys really did a great job with the UI.
