NocoBase 3.0 AI Portal Workflow

Description and use

NocoBase 3.0 enables AI‑generated UI integration while preserving authentication and permissions via a dedicated AI Portal.

Problem

Integrating AI-generated UI into a low‑code platform while preserving authentication, permissions, and data management.

Outcome

The workflow enables rapid AI‑driven UI development while leveraging NocoBase’s core infrastructure, reducing duplication of auth and data layers.

Workflow

• 1. Install NocoBase 3.0 alpha (Docker or npm).
• 2. Create a portal: nb portal create main.
• 3. Pull source locally: nb portal pull main.
• 4. Run AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) against the local source to generate React pages.
• 5. Test locally: nb portal dev main (default http://localhost:5173).
• 6. Commit changes: nb portal push main --message "Add customer page".
• 7. Deploy: nb portal deploy main to publish at /x/main/.
• 8. Verify access, permissions, and backup/restore of AI portal data.

Evidence

Portal source lives in three places: the local dev workspace, source storage, and the deployed artifacts.

Source

The default nocobase is the fastest to start with, since you don't need a repository first. It has no version history though, so a bad change can only be rolled back by overwriting everything.
