Baserow Explorer (Extension Demo)

[Sulitzer]

Hi everyone! Using Baserow for quite some time, I’ve hit certain limitations, so I’ve created a small Chrome extension that covers a few of them. The extension allows users to authenticate through API / Email & Password, and perform a set of operations that are currently missing in the Baserow UI:

• Bulk update (CRUD) matching database fields by name:

  

• Filter databases by token (existing / not existing yet)

  

• Clone not only entire databases, but selected tables from one database into another (excluding computed fields formula, lookup, link_row, rollup, autonumber, etc. since they can’t be directly cloned)

  

• Quickly generate ENVs (environmental variables) from the existing Baserow database table IDs

  

• Wire Baserow database to a GitHub repo / Auth0 / Netlify

  

  so that a set of workflows (a sequence of operations) can be performed one after another - for example - create a Baserow Workspace > Generate an ENV token > Clone a GitHub repo > wire it to Baserow > publish on Netlify, and so on.

  

It would be nice if Baserow had an extended admin UI that allows these sort of bulk operations that are already available through the OpenAPI documentation, but are simply unavailable in the current user interface.

Nice! Thanks for building the extension and for sharing it with the community.

Thanks @olgatrykush. The extension is still in early development, but if there’s interest from the community or Baserow’s dev team, I’m happy to share it publicly and work together on it.

Have a nice weekend!
