How to Build a CRUD Application in Minutes

In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to build a CRUD application in minutes, using Budibase - an open-source low code platform:

It’s no secret that building a complete CRUD application is pretty straightforward from a technical perspective. The problem is: building these types of applications can take hours, and sometimes days. And the process is SUPER REPETITIVE!

This is why I decided to create a video that shows you how to build a CRUD application in minutes. And with zero repetition or grunt work.

Here’s a quick preview of what you’ll learn.

First, I’ll show you how to create a library management CRUD application using Budibase. Yup, we're using a low-code platform. In fact, this is usually my first step whenever I create every CRUD application / internal tool.

Next, you’ll learn how to structure and add data. This is a critical step but is pretty straightforward.

After adding our data, we will move on to design. Because Budibase is an all-in-one low-code platform, the design section, and data section are aware of each other. This allows us to auto-generate CRUD screens. That way, you can essentially create a CRUD application by simply adding data to a table. Which is a HUGE advantage when it comes to outputting CRUD applications with speed.

During the design section, we'll take the read operation (c'R'ud) a little further by implementing search within our app.

The last section is a quick demonstration of our CRUD application.

So yeah, by the end of this video you should know exactly how to build a CRUD application in minutes. Enjoy!

Great tutorial. From what've seen in other budibase videos, I know it's possible to add a button with an action that would export the book table as a .csv. However, is it possible for this to also export the relation column, i.e. who the has checked out the book?

Hello, thanks for the demo, can you kindly make a video on a master detail form, lets say like an invoice with invoice items, or requisition with request items. Would be great.

Quick question (which is a deal breaker for me), If I had a list of videos (for example), can I add tags to them. (480p, catvid, etc), and then search. Is the search limited to one field, or can I do 'name like XXX' with the tags X, Y ? Do you support tagging and search based on the tags along with other fields?

Can I make a dashboard specific to each user, for example. I.E. a user signs up and then can CRUD their own entries (but they are isolated to just them and other users see only the DB entries they create)?

This framework is going to win laurels.

Hi, is this tutorial still up to date? I tried to create a BudiBase table like in the first part, with some columns and rows, but then in the design tab, it didn't generate any screen (except from the home one). Did I miss something?
