Resource

A resource is a collection of data that is stored in the database. For models that don’t require a frontend interface, you can use the resource generator to create the collection and its schema. For existing models, the fields option can be omitted and the generator will use the existing fields.

Syntax

$ vela generate resource <model> [fields...]

$ vela generate resource categories name:text

This will create the database collection and a Zod schema definition for the resource. The file created is:

src/lib/schemas/category.ts

The categories collection is created in the database and the TypeScript definitions are synced. Unlike scaffold, no routes or components are generated.

Options

generate resource takes no options. To design a model from a description, use generate scaffold --ai or generate schema --ai. To place routes at a custom path, use generate scaffold --route.
