# PocketBase Visualizer V0 Template: The Admin UI Playbook

- Tool: V0 Templates
- Last updated: July 2026

## TL;DR

The PocketBase Visualizer v0 template gives you a browser-based admin UI for any PocketBase instance — collection sidebar, paginated records table, JSON record drawer, and a Recharts stats bar, all wired to the official PocketBase JS SDK. Fork it, point it at your instance URL, and get a working visualizer in under 15 minutes. The 6-prompt pack extends it to real-time subscriptions, CSV export, and Supabase-backed session persistence.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this PocketBase Visualizer template free to use?

Yes. It's a free V0 community template. All libraries used — PocketBase JS SDK, Recharts, react-json-view, shadcn/ui — are MIT-licensed with no runtime costs. The only cost is your PocketBase hosting (pockethost.io has a generous free tier).

### Can I use this template in a commercial project?

Yes. All component libraries and the PocketBase SDK are MIT-licensed. V0 community forks give you full ownership of the exported code with no commercial use restrictions.

### Why does my fork show a blank sidebar or a CORS error in V0 Preview?

PocketBase restricts which domains can call its API. V0's preview URLs (*.vercel.app) are not in the default allowed origins list. Go to your PocketBase admin UI → Settings → Application → Allowed Origins and add your V0 preview domain. The issue disappears after you add the domain and refresh.

### Why is react-json-view blank inside the RecordDetailDrawer in V0 Preview?

react-json-view is a CommonJS module that V0's esm.sh module loader sometimes fails to transpile. Switch to @microlink/react-json-view (identical API, better ESM support) or temporarily replace the drawer body with a Textarea showing JSON.stringify(record, null, 2). The full react-json-view works correctly after deploying to Vercel.

### Should I store my PocketBase admin token in an environment variable?

No — never store the admin token as a NEXT_PUBLIC_ variable. That prefix inlines the value into the browser bundle and makes it visible to anyone. The ConnectionPanel collects the token at runtime (entered by you, not baked into the build). For automated flows, use a server-side route handler with a non-public server variable, but for this internal tool the runtime input approach is the right choice.

### Can this visualizer connect to multiple PocketBase instances?

Out of the box, no — the ConnectionPanel holds one URL at a time. You can extend it by building a saved connections list that stores multiple instance URLs in state (or in Supabase with the advanced Supabase/Clerk prompt) and switches the pb client on selection.

### Can RapidDev extend this visualizer for my team?

Yes — RapidDev can add multi-user Clerk auth, role-based access (read-only vs. editor), an edit audit log, and schema management to this v0 prototype. Most teams need 1–2 weeks for a production-ready internal tool.
