Fixed backups archive not excluding the local
backups
directory on Windows (#2548). -

dataTransfer.effectAllowed
when dropping files since it is not reliable and consistent across different OS and browsers (#2541). -
Auto register the initial generated snapshot migration to prevent incorrectly reapplying the snapshot on Docker restart (#2551).
-
Fixed missing view id field error message typo.
-

pb_data
is mounted as volume (#2519). -
Fixed Dart SDK realtime API preview example (#2523; thanks @xFrann).
-
Fixed typo in the backups create panel (#2526; thanks @dschissler).

Fixed Export Collections "Download as JSON" (#2540).
-
Fixed file field drag and drop not working in Firefox and Safari (#2541).
-
Added automated backups (+ cron rotation) APIs and UI for the
pb_data
directory. The backups can be also initialized programmatically usingapp.CreateBackup("backup.zip")
. There is also experimental restore method -app.RestoreBackup("backup.zip")
(currently works only on UNIX systems as it relies on execve). The backups can be stored locally or in external S3 storage (it has its own configuration, separate from the file uploads storage filesystem). -
Added option to limit the returned API fields using the
?fields
query parameter. The "fields picker" is applied forSearchResult.Items
and every other JSON response. For example:// original: {"id": "RECORD_ID", "name": "abc", "description": "...something very big...", "items": ["id1", "id2"], "expand": {"items": [{"id": "id1", "name": "test1"}, {"id": "id2", "name": "test2"}]}} // output: {"name": "abc", "expand": {"items": [{"name": "test1"}, {"name": "test2"}]}} const result = await pb.collection("example").getOne("RECORD_ID", { expand: "items", fields: "name,expand.items.name", })
-
Added new
./pocketbase update
command to selfupdate the prebuilt executable (with option to generate a backup of yourpb_data
). -
Added new
./pocketbase admin
console command:// creates new admin account ./pocketbase admin create [email protected] 123456890 // changes the password of an existing admin account ./pocketbase admin update [email protected] 0987654321 // deletes single admin account (if exists) ./pocketbase admin delete [email protected]
-
Added
apis.Serve(app, options)
helper to allow starting the API server programmatically. -
Updated the schema fields Admin UI for "tidier" fields visualization.
-
Updated the logs "real" user IP to check for
Fly-Client-IP
header and changed theX-Forward-For
header to use the first non-empty leftmost-ish IP as it the closest to the "real IP". -
Added new
tools/archive
helper subpackage for managing archives (currently works only with zip). -
Added new
tools/cron
helper subpackage for scheduling task using cron-like syntax (this eventually may get exported in the future in a separate repo). -
Added new
Filesystem.List(prefix)
helper to retrieve a flat list with all files under the provided prefix. -
Added new
App.NewBackupsFilesystem()
helper to create a dedicated filesystem abstraction for managing app data backups. -
Added new
App.OnTerminate()
hook (executed right before app termination, eg. onSIGTERM
signal). -
Added
accept
file field attribute with the field MIME types (#2466; thanks @Nikhil1920). -
Added support for multiple files sort in the Admin UI (#2445).
-
Added support for multiple relations sort in the Admin UI.

Added
meta.isNew
to the OAuth2 auth JSON response to indicate a newly OAuth2 created PocketBase user.
-
Updated the Admin UI to use the latest JS SDK to resolve the
isNew
record field conflict (#2385). -
Fixed
editor
field fullscreenz-index
(#2410). -
Inserts the default app settings as part of the system init migration so that they are always available when accessed from within a user defined migration (#2423).
-
Fixed View query
SELECT DISTINCT
identifiers parsing (#2349-5706019). -

-
Added OAuth2 redirect fallback message to notify the user to go back to the app in case the browser window is not auto closed.
-
Trigger the related
Record
model realtime subscription events on custom model struct save (#2325). -
Fixed
Ctrl + S
in theeditor
field not propagating the quick save shortcut to the parent form. -
Added
⌘ + S
alias for the record quick save shortcut (I have no Mac device to test it but it should work based one.metaKey
docs). -
Enabled RTL for the TinyMCE editor (#2327).
-
Reduced the record form vertical layout shifts and slightly improved the rendering speed when loading multiple
relation
fields. -
Enabled Admin UI assets cache.
-
Simplified the OAuth2 authentication flow in a single "all in one" call (#55). Requires JS SDK v0.14.0+ or Dart SDK v0.9.0+. The manual code-token exchange flow is still supported but the SDK method is renamed to
authWithOAuth2Code()
(to minimize the breaking changes the JS SDK has a function overload that will proxy the existingauthWithOauth2
calls toauthWithOAuth2Code
). For more details and example, you could check https://pocketbase.io/docs/authentication/#oauth2-integration. -
Added support for protected files (#215). Requires JS SDK v0.14.0+ or Dart SDK v0.9.0+. It works with a short lived (~5min) file token passed as query param with the file url. For more details and example, you could check https://pocketbase.io/docs/files-handling/#protected-files.
-

Fixed Admin UI Logs
meta
visualization in Firefox (#2221). -
Downgraded to v1 of the
aws/aws-sdk-go
package since v2 has compatibility issues with GCS (#2231). -
Upgraded the GitHub action to use min Go 1.20.3 for the prebuilt executable since it contains some minor
net/http
security fixes.
- Reverted part of the old
COALESCE
handling as a fallback to support empty string comparison with missing joined relation fields.
-
Fixed realtime events firing before the files upload completion.
-
Updated the underlying S3 lib to use
aws-sdk-go-v2
(#1346; thanks @yuxiang-gao). -

-
Deprecated
SchemaField.Unique
. Unique constraints are now managed via indexes. TheUnique
field is a no-op and will be removed in future version. -
Removed the
COALESCE
wrapping from some of the generated filter conditions to make better use of the indexes (#1939). -
Detect
id
aliased view columns as singlerelation
fields (#2029). -
Optimized single relation lookups.
-
Normalized record values on
maxSelect
field option change (select
,file
,relation
). When changing from single to multiple all already inserted single values are converted to an array. When changing from multiple to single only the last item of the already inserted array items is kept. -
Changed the cost/round factor of bcrypt hash generation from 13 to 12 since several users complained about the slow authWithPassword responses on lower spec hardware. The change will affect only new users. Depending on the demand, we might make it configurable from the auth options.
-
Simplified the default mail template styles to allow more control over the template layout (#1904).
-
Added option to explicitly set the record id from the Admin UI (#2118).
-
Added
migrate history-sync
command to clean_migrations
history table from deleted migration files references. -
Added new fields to the
core.RecordAuthWithOAuth2Event
struct:IsNewRecord bool, // boolean field indicating whether the OAuth2 action created a new auth record ProviderName string, // the name of the OAuth2 provider (eg. "google") ProviderClient auth.Provider, // the loaded Provider client instance
-
Added CGO linux target for the prebuilt executable.
-
! Renamed
daos.GetTableColumns()
todaos.TableColumns()
for consistency with the other Dao table related helpers. -
! Renamed
daos.GetTableInfo()
todaos.TableInfo()
for consistency with the other Dao table related helpers. -
! Changed
types.JsonArray
to support specifying a generic type, aka.types.JsonArray[T]
. If you have previously usedtypes.JsonArray
, you'll have to update it totypes.JsonArray[any]
. -
! Registered the
RemoveTrailingSlash
middleware only for the/api/*
routes since it is causing issues with subpath file serving endpoints (#2072). -
! Changed the request logs
method
value to UPPERCASE, eg. "get" => "GET" (#1956). -
Other minor UI improvements.
- Removed eager unique collection name check to support lazy validation during bulk import.
-
Fixed view collections import (#2044).
-
Updated the records picker Admin UI to show properly view collection relations.

file
field asrelation
"Display fields" (#1989).
- Added
HEAD
request method support for the/api/files/:collection/:recordId/:filename
route (#1976).
-
Added new "View" collection type allowing you to create a read-only collection from a custom SQL
SELECT
statement. It supports:- aggregations (
COUNT()
,MIN()
,MAX()
,GROUP BY
, etc.) - column and table aliases
- CTEs and subquery expressions
- auto
relation
fields association file
fields proxying (up to 5 linked relations, eg. view1->view2->...->base)filter
,sort
andexpand
- List and View API rules
- aggregations (
-
Added auto fail/retry (default to 8 attempts) for the
SELECT
queries to gracefully handle thedatabase is locked
errors (#1795). The default max attempts can be accessed or changed viaDao.MaxLockRetries
. -
Added default max query execution timeout (30s). The default timeout can be accessed or changed via
Dao.ModelQueryTimeout
. For the prebuilt executables it can be also changed via the--queryTimeout=10
flag. -
Added support for
dao.RecordQuery(collection)
to scan directly theOne()
andAll()
results in*models.Record
or[]*models.Record
without the need of explicitNullStringMap
. -
Added support to overwrite the default file serve headers if an explicit response header is set.
-
Added file thumbs when visualizing
relation
display file fields. -
Added "Min select"
relation
field option. -
Enabled
process.env
in JS migrations to allow accessingos.Environ()
. -
Added
UploadedFiles
field to theRecordCreateEvent
andRecordUpdateEvent
event structs. -
! Moved file upload after the record persistent to allow setting custom record id safely from the
OnModelBeforeCreate
hook. -
! Changed
System.GetFile()
to return directly*blob.Reader
instead of theio.ReadCloser
interface. -
! Changed
To
,Cc
andBcc
ofmailer.Message
to[]mail.Address
for consistency and to allow multiple recipients and optional name.If you are sending custom emails, you'll have to replace:
message := &mailer.Message{ ... // (old) To: mail.Address{Address: "[email protected]"} To: []mail.Address{{Address: "[email protected]", Name: "Some optional name"}}, // (old) Cc: []string{"[email protected]"} Cc: []mail.Address{{Address: "[email protected]", Name: "Some optional name"}}, // (old) Bcc: []string{"[email protected]"} Bcc: []mail.Address{{Address: "[email protected]", Name: "Some optional name"}}, ... }
-
! Refactored the Authentik integration as a more generic "OpenID Connect" provider (
oidc
) to support any OIDC provider (Okta, Keycloak, etc.). If you've previously used Authentik, make sure to rename the provider key in your code tooidc
. To enable more than one OIDC provider you can use the additionaloidc2
andoidc3
provider keys. -
! Removed the previously deprecated
Dao.Block()
andDao.Continue()
helpers in favor ofDao.NonconcurrentDB()
. -
Updated the internal redirects to allow easier subpath deployment when behind a reverse proxy.
-
Other minor Admin UI improvements.
-

overlay-active
css class not being removed on nested overlay panel close (#1718). -
Added the collection name in the page title (#1711).
-
Refactored the relation picker UI to allow server-side search, sort, create, update and delete of relation records (#976).
-
Added new
RelationOptions.DisplayFields
option to specify custom relation field(s) visualization in the Admin UI. -
Added Authentik OAuth2 provider (#1377; thanks @pr0ton11).
-
Added LiveChat OAuth2 provider (#1573; thanks @mariosant).
-
Added Gitea OAuth2 provider (#1643; thanks @hlanderdev).
-
Added PDF file previews (#1548; thanks @mjadobson).
-
Added video and audio file previews.
-
Added rich text editor (
editor
) field for HTML content based on TinyMCE (#370). Currently the new field doesn't have any configuration options or validations but this may change in the future depending on how devs ended up using it. -
Added "Duplicate" Collection and Record options in the Admin UI (#1656).
-
Added
filesystem.GetFile()
helper to read files through the FileSystem abstraction (#1578; thanks @avarabyeu). -
Added new auth event hooks for finer control and more advanced auth scenarios handling:
// auth record OnRecordBeforeAuthWithPasswordRequest() OnRecordAfterAuthWithPasswordRequest() OnRecordBeforeAuthWithOAuth2Request() OnRecordAfterAuthWithOAuth2Request() OnRecordBeforeAuthRefreshRequest() OnRecordAfterAuthRefreshRequest() // admin OnAdminBeforeAuthWithPasswordRequest() OnAdminAfterAuthWithPasswordRequest() OnAdminBeforeAuthRefreshRequest() OnAdminAfterAuthRefreshRequest() OnAdminBeforeRequestPasswordResetRequest() OnAdminAfterRequestPasswordResetRequest() OnAdminBeforeConfirmPasswordResetRequest() OnAdminAfterConfirmPasswordResetRequest()
-
Added
models.Record.CleanCopy()
helper that creates a new record copy with only the latest data state of the existing one and all other options reset to their defaults. -
Added new helper
apis.RecordAuthResponse(app, httpContext, record, meta)
to return a standard Record auth API response (#1623). -
Refactored
models.Record
expand and data change operations to be concurrent safe. -
Refactored all
forms
Submit interceptors to use a generic data type as their payload. -
Added several
store.Store
helpers:store.Reset(newData map[string]T) store.Length() int store.GetAll() map[string]T
-
Added "tags" support for all Record and Model related event hooks.
The "tags" allow registering event handlers that will be called only on matching table name(s) or colleciton id(s)/name(s). For example:
app.OnRecordBeforeCreateRequest("articles").Add(func(e *core.RecordCreateEvent) error { // called only on "articles" record creation log.Println(e.Record) return nil })
For all those event hooks
*hook.Hook
was replaced with*hooks.TaggedHook
, but the hook methods signatures are the same so it should behave as it was previously if no tags were specified. -
! Fixed the
json
field string value normalization (#1703).In order to support seamlessly both
application/json
andmultipart/form-data
requests, the following normalization rules are applied if thejson
field is a plain string value:- "true" is converted to the json
true
- "false" is converted to the json
false
- "null" is converted to the json
null
- "[1,2,3]" is converted to the json
[1,2,3]
- "{"a":1,"b":2}" is converted to the json
{"a":1,"b":2}
- numeric strings are converted to json number
- double quoted strings are left as they are (aka. without normalizations)
- any other string (empty string too) is double quoted
Additionally, the "Nonempty"
json
field constraint now checks fornull
,[]
,{}
and""
(empty string). - "true" is converted to the json
-
Added
aria-label
to some of the buttons in the Admin UI for better accessibility (#1702; thanks @ndarilek). -
Updated the filename extension checks in the Admin UI to be case-insensitive (#1707; thanks @hungcrush).
-
Other minor improvements (more detailed API file upload errors, UI optimizations, docs improvements, etc.)
- Fixed cascade delete for rel records with the same id as the main record (#1689).
-
Fix realtime API panic on concurrent clients iteration (#1628)
-
app.SubscriptionsBroker().Clients()
now returns a shallow copy of the underlying map. -
Added
Discard()
andIsDiscarded()
helper methods to thesubscriptions.Client
interface. -
Slow clients should no longer "block" the main action completion.
-
-
Fixed
fs.DeleteByPrefix()
hang on invalid S3 settings (#1575). -
Updated file(s) delete to run in the background on record/collection delete to avoid blocking the delete model transaction. Currently the cascade files delete operation is treated as "non-critical" and in case of an error it is just logged during debug. This will be improved in the near future with the planned async job queue implementation.
- Unescaped path parameter values (#1552).
-
Added
+
and-
body field modifiers fornumber
,files
,select
andrelation
fields.{ // oldValue + 2 "someNumber+": 2, // oldValue + ["id1", "id2"] - ["id3"] "someRelation+": ["id1", "id2"], "someRelation-": ["id3"], // delete single file by its name (file fields supports only the "-" modifier!) "someFile-": "filename.png", }
Note1:
@request.data.someField
will contain the final resolved value.Note2: The old index (
"field.0":null
) and filename ("field.filename.png":null
) based suffixed syntax for deleting files is still supported. -
! Added support for multi-match/match-all request data and collection multi-valued fields (
select
,relation
) conditions. If you want a "at least one of" type of condition, you can prefix the operator with?
.// for each someRelA.someRelB record require the "status" field to be "active" someRelA.someRelB.status = "active" // OR for "at least one of" condition someRelA.someRelB.status ?= "active"
Note: Previously the behavior for multi-valued fields was as the "at least one of" type. The release comes with system db migration that will update your existing API rules (if needed) to preserve the compatibility. If you have multi-select or multi-relation filter checks in your client-side code and want to preserve the old behavior, you'll have to prefix with
?
your operators. -
Added support for querying
@request.data.someRelField.*
relation fields.// example submitted data: {"someRel": "REL_RECORD_ID"} @request.data.someRel.status = "active"
-
Added
:isset
modifier for the static request data fields.// prevent changing the "role" field @request.data.role:isset = false
-
Added
:length
modifier for the arrayable request data and collection fields (select
,file
,relation
).// example submitted data: {"someSelectField": ["val1", "val2"]} @request.data.someSelectField:length = 2 // check existing record field length someSelectField:length = 2
-
Added
:each
modifier support for the multi-select
request data and collection field.// check if all selected rows has "pb_" prefix roles:each ~ 'pb_%'
-
Improved the Admin UI filters autocomplete.
-
Added
@random
sort key forRANDOM()
sorted list results. -
Added Strava OAuth2 provider (#1443; thanks @szsascha).
-
Added Gitee OAuth2 provider (#1448; thanks @yuxiang-gao).
-
Added IME status check to the textarea keydown handler (#1370; thanks @tenthree).
-
Added
filesystem.NewFileFromBytes()
helper (#1420; thanks @dschissler). -
Added support for reordering uploaded multiple files.
-
Added
webp
to the default images mime type presets list (#1469; thanks @khairulhaaziq). -
Added the OAuth2 refresh token to the auth meta response (#1487).
-
Fixed the text wrapping in the Admin UI listing searchbar (#1416).
-
Fixed number field value output in the records listing (#1447).
-
Fixed duplicated settings view pages caused by uncompleted transitions (#1498).
-
Allowed sending
Authorization
header with the/auth-with-password
record and admin login requests (#1494). -
migrate down
now reverts migrations in the applied order. -
Added additional list-bucket check in the S3 config test API.
-
Other minor improvements.
- Fixed
Record.MergeExpand
panic when the main model expand map is not initialized (#1365).
-
! Renamed the metadata key
original_filename
tooriginal-filename
due to an S3 file upload error caused by the underscore character (#1343; thanks @yuxiang-gao). -
Fixed request verification docs api url (#1332; thanks @JoyMajumdar2001)
-
Excluded
collectionId
andcollectionName
from the displayable relation props list (1322; thanks @dhall2).
- Fixed nested multiple expands with shared path (#586).
A new helper method
models.Record.MergeExpand(map[string]any)
was also added to simplify the expand handling and unit testing.
- Fixed nested transactions deadlock when authenticating with OAuth2 (#1291).
-
Added
/api/health
endpoint (thanks @MarvinJWendt). -
Added support for SMTP
LOGIN
auth for Microsoft/Outlook and other providers that don't support thePLAIN
auth method (#1217). -
Reduced memory consumption (you can expect ~20% less allocated memory).
-
Added support for split (concurrent and nonconcurrent) DB connections pool increasing even further the concurrent throughput without blocking reads on heavy write load.
-
Improved record references delete performance.
-
Removed the unnecessary parenthesis in the generated filter SQL query, reducing the "parse stack overflow" errors.
-
Fixed
~
expressions backslash literal escaping (#1231). -
Refactored the
core.app.Bootstrap()
to be called before starting the cobra commands (#1267). -
! Changed
pocketbase.NewWithConfig(config Config)
topocketbase.NewWithConfig(config *Config)
and added 4 new config settings:DataMaxOpenConns int // default to core.DefaultDataMaxOpenConns DataMaxIdleConns int // default to core.DefaultDataMaxIdleConns LogsMaxOpenConns int // default to core.DefaultLogsMaxOpenConns LogsMaxIdleConns int // default to core.DefaultLogsMaxIdleConns
-
Added new helper method
core.App.IsBootstrapped()
to check the current app bootstrap state. -
! Changed
core.NewBaseApp(dir, encryptionEnv, isDebug)
toNewBaseApp(config *BaseAppConfig)
. -
! Removed
rest.UploadedFile
struct (see belowfilesystem.File
). -
Added generic file resource struct that allows loading and uploading file content from different sources (at the moment multipart/form-data requests and from the local filesystem).
filesystem.File{} filesystem.NewFileFromPath(path) filesystem.NewFileFromMultipart(multipartHeader) filesystem/System.UploadFile(file)
-
Refactored
forms.RecordUpsert
to allow more easily loading and removing files programmatically.forms.RecordUpsert.AddFiles(key, filesystem.File...) // add new filesystem.File to the form for upload forms.RecordUpsert.RemoveFiles(key, filenames...) // marks the filenames for deletion
-
Trigger the
password
validators if any of the others password change fields is set.
- Fixed field column name conflict on record deletion (#1220).
-
Moved the record file upload and delete out of the db transaction to minimize the locking times.
-
Added
Dao
query semaphore and base fail/retry handling to improve the concurrent writes throughput (#1187). -
Fixed records cascade deletion when there are "A<->B" relation references.
-
Replaced
c.QueryString()
withc.QueryParams().Encode()
to allow loading middleware modified query parameters in the default crud actions (#1210). -
Fixed the datetime field not triggering the
onChange
event on manual field edit and added a "Clear" button (#1219). -
Updated the GitHub goreleaser action to use go 1.19.4 since it comes with some security fixes.
-
Fixed concurrent multi-relation cascade update/delete (#1138).
-
Added the raw OAuth2 user data (
meta.rawUser
) and OAuth2 access token (meta.accessToken
) to the auth response (#654). -
BaseModel.UnmarkAsNew()
method was renamed toBaseModel.MarkAsNotNew()
. Additionally, to simplify the insert model queries with custom IDs, it is no longer required to callMarkAsNew()
for manually initialized models with set ID since now this is the default state. When the model is populated with values from the database (eg. after rowScan
) it will be marked automatically as "not new". -
Added
Record.OriginalCopy()
method that returns a newRecord
copy populated with the initially loaded record data (useful if you want to compare old and new field values). -
Added new event hooks:
app.OnBeforeBootstrap() app.OnAfterBootstrap() app.OnBeforeApiError() app.OnAfterApiError() app.OnRealtimeDisconnectRequest() app.OnRealtimeBeforeMessageSend() app.OnRealtimeAfterMessageSend() app.OnRecordBeforeRequestPasswordResetRequest() app.OnRecordAfterRequestPasswordResetRequest() app.OnRecordBeforeConfirmPasswordResetRequest() app.OnRecordAfterConfirmPasswordResetRequest() app.OnRecordBeforeRequestVerificationRequest() app.OnRecordAfterRequestVerificationRequest() app.OnRecordBeforeConfirmVerificationRequest() app.OnRecordAfterConfirmVerificationRequest() app.OnRecordBeforeRequestEmailChangeRequest() app.OnRecordAfterRequestEmailChangeRequest() app.OnRecordBeforeConfirmEmailChangeRequest() app.OnRecordAfterConfirmEmailChangeRequest()
-
The original uploaded file name is now stored as metadata under the
original_filename
key. It could be accessed via:fs, _ := app.NewFilesystem() defer fs.Close() attrs, _ := fs.Attributes(fikeKey) attrs.Metadata["original_name"]
-
Added support for
Partial/Range
file requests (#1125). This is a minor breaking change if you are usingfilesystem.Serve
(eg. as part of a customOnFileDownloadRequest
hook):// old filesystem.Serve(res, e.ServedPath, e.ServedName) // new filesystem.Serve(res, req, e.ServedPath, e.ServedName)
-
Refactored the
migrate
command to support external JavaScript migration files using an embedded JS interpreter (goja). This allow writing custom migration scripts such as programmatically creating collections, initializing default settings, running data imports, etc., with a JavaScript API very similar to the Go one (more documentation will be available soon).The
migrate
command is available by default for the prebuilt executable, but if you use PocketBase as framework you need register it manually:migrationsDir := "" // default to "pb_migrations" (for js) and "migrations" (for go) // load js files if you want to allow loading external JavaScript migrations jsvm.MustRegisterMigrations(app, &jsvm.MigrationsOptions{ Dir: migrationsDir, }) // register the `migrate` command migratecmd.MustRegister(app, app.RootCmd, &migratecmd.Options{ TemplateLang: migratecmd.TemplateLangJS, // or migratecmd.TemplateLangGo (default) Dir: migrationsDir, Automigrate: true, })
The refactoring also comes with automigrations support.
If
Automigrate
is enabled (true
by default for the prebuilt executable; can be disabled with--automigrate=0
), PocketBase will generate seamlessly in the background JS (or Go) migration file with your collection changes. The directory with the JS migrations can be committed to your git repo. All migrations (Go and JS) are automatically executed on server start. Also note that the auto generated migrations are granural (in contrast to themigrate collections
snapshot command) and allow multiple developers to do changes on the collections independently (even editing the same collection) miniziming the eventual merge conflicts. Here is a sample JS migration file that will be generated if you for example edit a single collection name:// pb_migrations/1669663597_updated_posts_old.js migrate((db) => { // up const dao = new Dao(db) const collection = dao.findCollectionByNameOrId("lngf8rb3dqu86r3") collection.name = "posts_new" return dao.saveCollection(collection) }, (db) => { // down const dao = new Dao(db) const collection = dao.findCollectionByNameOrId("lngf8rb3dqu86r3") collection.name = "posts_old" return dao.saveCollection(collection) })
-
Added new
Dao
helpers to make it easier fetching and updating the app settings from a migration:dao.FindSettings([optEncryptionKey]) dao.SaveSettings(newSettings, [optEncryptionKey])
-

Changed the
mailer.Mailer
interface (minor breaking if you are sending custom emails):// Old: app.NewMailClient().Send(from, to, subject, html, attachments?) // New: app.NewMailClient().Send(&mailer.Message{ From: from, To: to, Subject: subject, HTML: html, Attachments: attachments, // new configurable fields Bcc: []string{"[email protected]", "[email protected]"}, Cc: []string{"[email protected]", "[email protected]"}, Headers: map[string]string{"Custom-Header": "test"}, Text: "custom plain text version", })
The new
*mailer.Message
struct is also now a member of theMailerRecordEvent
andMailerAdminEvent
events. -
Other minor UI fixes and improvements
The biggest change is the merge of the User
models and the profiles
collection per #376.
There is no longer user
type field and the users are just an "auth" collection (we now support collection types, currently only "base" and "auth").
This should simplify the users management and at the same time allow us to have unlimited multiple "auth" collections each with their own custom fields and authentication options (eg. staff, client, etc.).
In addition to the Users
and profiles
merge, this release comes with several other improvements:
-
Added indirect expand support #312.
-
The
json
field type now supports filtering and sorting #423. -
The
relation
field now allows unlimitedmaxSelect
(aka. without upper limit). -
Added support for combined email/username + password authentication (see below
authWithPassword()
). -
Added support for full "manager-subordinate" users management, including a special API rule to allow directly changing system fields like email, password, etc. without requiring
oldPassword
or other user verification. -
Enabled OAuth2 account linking on authorized request from the same auth collection (this is useful for example if the OAuth2 provider doesn't return an email and you want to associate it with the current logged in user).
-
Added option to toggle the record columns visibility from the table listing.
-
Added support for collection schema fields reordering.
-
Added several new OAuth2 providers (Microsoft Azure AD, Spotify, Twitch, Kakao).
-
Improved memory usage on large file uploads #835.
-
More detailed API preview docs and site documentation (the repo is located at https://github.com/pocketbase/site).
-
Other minor performance improvements (mostly related to the search apis).
The merge of users and profiles comes with several required db changes.
The easiest way to apply them is to use the new temporary upgrade
command:
# make sure to have a copy of your pb_data in case something fails
cp -r ./pb_data ./pb_data_backup
# run the upgrade command
./pocketbase08 upgrade
# start the application as usual
./pocketbase08 serve
The upgrade command:
- Creates a new
users
collection with merged fields from the_users
table and theprofiles
collection. The new user records will have the ids from theprofiles
collection. - Changes all
user
type fields torelation
and update the references to point to the new user ids. - Renames all
@collection.profiles.*
,@request.user.*
and@request.user.profile.*
filters to@collection.users.*
and@request.auth.*
. - Appends
2
to all schema field names and api filter rules that conflicts with the new system reserved ones:collectionId => collectionId2 collectionName => collectionName2 expand => expand2 // only for the "profiles" collection fields: username => username2 email => email2 emailVisibility => emailVisibility2 verified => verified2 tokenKey => tokenKey2 passwordHash => passwordHash2 lastResetSentAt => lastResetSentAt2 lastVerificationSentAt => lastVerificationSentAt2
Please check the individual SDK package changelog and apply the necessary changes in your code:
-
npm install pocketbase@latest --save
-
dart pub add pocketbase:^0.5.0 # or with Flutter: flutter pub add pocketbase:^0.5.0
You don't have to read this if you are using an official SDK.
-
The authorization schema is no longer necessary. Now it is auto detected from the JWT token payload:
Old New Authorization: Admin TOKEN Authorization: TOKEN Authorization: User TOKEN Authorization: TOKEN -
All datetime stings are now returned in ISO8601 format - with Z suffix and space as separator between the date and time part:
Old New 2022-01-02 03:04:05.678 2022-01-02 03:04:05.678Z -
Removed the
@
prefix from the system record fields for easier json parsing:Old New @collectionId collectionId @collectionName collectionName @expand expand -
All users api handlers are moved under
/api/collections/:collection/
:Old New GET /api/users/auth-methods GET /api/collections/:collection/auth-methods POST /api/users/refresh POST /api/collections/:collection/auth-refresh POST /api/users/auth-via-oauth2 POST /api/collections/:collection/auth-with-oauth2
You can now also pass optionalcreateData
object on OAuth2 sign-up.
Also please note that now required user/profile fields are properly validated when creating new auth model on OAuth2 sign-up.POST /api/users/auth-via-email POST /api/collections/:collection/auth-with-password
Handles username/email + password authentication.
{"identity": "usernameOrEmail", "password": "123456"}
POST /api/users/request-password-reset POST /api/collections/:collection/request-password-reset POST /api/users/confirm-password-reset POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-password-reset POST /api/users/request-verification POST /api/collections/:collection/request-verification POST /api/users/confirm-verification POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-verification POST /api/users/request-email-change POST /api/collections/:collection/request-email-change POST /api/users/confirm-email-change POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-email-change GET /api/users GET /api/collections/:collection/records GET /api/users/:id GET /api/collections/:collection/records/:id POST /api/users POST /api/collections/:collection/records PATCH /api/users/:id PATCH /api/collections/:collection/records/:id DELETE /api/users/:id DELETE /api/collections/:collection/records/:id GET /api/users/:id/external-auths GET /api/collections/:collection/records/:id/external-auths DELETE /api/users/:id/external-auths/:provider DELETE /api/collections/:collection/records/:id/external-auths/:provider In relation to the above changes, the
user
property in the auth response is renamed torecord
. -
The admins api was also updated for consistency with the users api changes:
Old New POST /api/admins/refresh POST /api/admins/auth-refresh POST /api/admins/auth-via-email POST /api/admins/auth-with-password
{"identity": "[email protected]", "password": "123456"}
(notice that theemail
body field was renamed toidentity
) -
To prevent confusion with the auth method responses, the following endpoints now returns 204 with empty body (previously 200 with token and auth model):
POST /api/admins/confirm-password-reset POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-password-reset POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-verification POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-email-change
-
Renamed the "user" related settings fields returned by
GET /api/settings
:Old New userAuthToken recordAuthToken userPasswordResetToken recordPasswordResetToken userEmailChangeToken recordEmailChangeToken userVerificationToken recordVerificationToken

Removed
forms.New*WithConfig()
factories to minimize ambiguities. If you need to pass a transaction Dao you can use the newSetDao(dao)
method available to the form instances. -
forms.RecordUpsert.LoadData(data map[string]any)
now can bulk load external data from a map. To load data from a request instance, you could useforms.RecordUpsert.LoadRequest(r, optKeysPrefix = "")
. -
schema.RelationOptions.MaxSelect
has new type*int
(you can use the newtypes.Pointer(123)
helper to assign pointer values). -
Renamed the constant
apis.ContextUserKey
("user") toapis.ContextAuthRecordKey
("authRecord"). -
Replaced user related middlewares with their auth record alternative:
Old New apis.RequireUserAuth() apis.RequireRecordAuth(optCollectionNames ...string) apis.RequireAdminOrUserAuth() apis.RequireAdminOrRecordAuth(optCollectionNames ...string) N/A RequireSameContextRecordAuth()
(requires the auth record to be from the same context collection) -
The following record Dao helpers now uses the collection id or name instead of
*models.Collection
instance to reduce the verbosity when fetching records:Old New dao.FindRecordById(collection, ...) dao.FindRecordById(collectionNameOrId, ...) dao.FindRecordsByIds(collection, ...) dao.FindRecordsByIds(collectionNameOrId, ...) dao.FindRecordsByExpr(collection, ...) dao.FindRecordsByExpr(collectionNameOrId, ...) dao.FindFirstRecordByData(collection, ...) dao.FindFirstRecordByData(collectionNameOrId, ...) dao.IsRecordValueUnique(collection, ...) dao.IsRecordValueUnique(collectionNameOrId, ...) -
