Contribution Proposition: Client for Erlang

[flpezet]

Hi there !
Discovered Trailbase a month ago, very fascinated by what it brings to the table compared to Pocketbase.
I'm interested in using it in the Erlang VM (BEAM). It would bring a developer-friendly CMS for Elixir, Erlang and Gleam programmers.

I've started to read the Python client, I'm interested in writing an Erlang client.
Would you be open for one (or several) PRs ? Let me know how you'd like to proceed. :)

Best,
Florent

Welcome @flpezet and thanks for the kind words 🙏.

Generally: yes. I'm not sure what the best maintenance model is, e.g. you contributing upstream vs a separate repo and me referencing it. My only concern is that I don't have the in-house ability to maintain and evolve the client (e.g. as the interface changes). I do like a good challenge but I'm not sure that's best for users. WDYT?

FWIW, I'm excited. Have heard only good things especially about elixir and gleam.

The python client is probably the worst implementation :hide:, especially since it's not async.

Just let me know how you'd like to proceed 🙏

Hello Sebastian !

Yes, I'm fine with creating a separate repository ! It can be a "community-maintained" client.

The python client is probably the worst implementation :hide:, especially since it's not async.

Haha ! Ok I will get inspiration from the Rust client then ^^.

I will start the implementation in the following github repo. I keep you posted on the progress :)

Let me know if I can help you in any way, shape or form. I'm available for any questions. At the same time when you look at any of the clients, don't hold back with any feedback. I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement.

(The most feature complete is probably the TypeScript client, at least it's the only one that currently provides batch operations)
