Project mention: Show HN: Bknd – Firebase alternative that embeds into any React stack | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-25
Similar to Firebase it's multi-strategy based. You can use a combo of email/password or OAuth/OIDC (internally using https://github.com/panva/oauth4webapi) – currently there are 2 pre-configured (Google, Github), but it's easy to extend, so requests are welcome.
On the Authorization side, you can create roles and attach permissions to it. Those roles then get attached to users.
Claims are transported via JWT, you can configure its lifetime, secret and hashing. Currently it's stateless, meaning the token is not checked in a session store. But if there is demand, I'd prioritize adding this. I'm mainly exactly looking for feedback to prioritize next additions.
Hope this helps.

As we know, the acronym CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. This concept represents the fundamental operations that can be performed on any data. Let's consider working with CRUD operations using the example of the administrative panel user, where functionalities like adding, editing, and deleting users are implemented, along with retrieving information about them. The custom React hooks discussed below, handling data processing in React Query, pagination, error management, and more, are already integrated into the Extensive-React-Boilerplate. Naturally, you can leverage this boilerplate directly. In the following sections, we’ll share our insights on implementing these features.
