Building Full-Stack Apps with AI: Database, Auth & APIs

Full-Stack AI Development

Build complete applications with databases, APIs, and authentication

What is Full-Stack AI Development?

Full-stack AI development means using AI to generate both the frontend (what users see) and backend (server, database, APIs) of your application. Unlike frontend-only tools, full-stack AI builders like Ideatr create complete, working applications.

Why Full-Stack Matters

Modern applications need more than just a pretty interface. They require:

• Database Storage: Store user data, content, and application state
• Authentication: Secure user accounts and sessions
• API Endpoints: Connect frontend to backend logic
• Server Logic: Process data, handle business logic, integrate with services

How Ideatr Generates Full-Stack Apps

1. Database Schema Generation

Ideatr analyzes your requirements and automatically generates:

• Database tables and relationships
• Data models with proper types
• Migration files
• ORM configurations (Prisma/Drizzle)

2. Authentication System

Complete authentication flows including:

• User registration and login
• Password reset functionality
• Session management
• Protected routes
• OAuth integration (Google, GitHub, etc.)

3. API Endpoint Generation

RESTful API endpoints for:

• CRUD operations
• Data validation
• Error handling
• Rate limiting
• Authentication middleware

Example: Building an E-commerce App

Here's what Ideatr generates for an e-commerce application:

Database Schema

User {
  id, email, password, name, createdAt
}

Product {
  id, name, description, price, image, stock
}

Order {
  id, userId, total, status, createdAt
}

OrderItem {
  id, orderId, productId, quantity, price
}

API Endpoints

• POST /api/auth/register - User registration
• POST /api/auth/login - User login
• GET /api/products - List products
• POST /api/orders - Create order
• GET /api/orders - Get user orders

Frontend Components

• Product listing page
• Product detail page
• Shopping cart
• Checkout flow
• User dashboard

Best Practices

1. Start with Data Model

Define your data structure clearly in your prompt. The AI will generate appropriate database schemas.

2. Specify Authentication Needs

Mention if you need user accounts, admin roles, or OAuth providers.

3. Define API Requirements

List the operations your app needs: create, read, update, delete, search, etc.
