Client
PocketbaseExtended is the main client class. Create one instance per PocketBase host and reuse it throughout your sketch.
Constructor
Section titled “Constructor”explicit PocketbaseExtended(const char* baseUrl);| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
baseUrl | const char* | Root URL of the PocketBase instance. Trailing slashes are normalized automatically. |
PocketbaseExtended pb("https://my-pb-host.com");// internally stored as "https://my-pb-host.com/api/"The constructor stores the normalized base URL and sets these defaults:
| Property | Default |
|---|---|
| Timeout | 10 000 ms |
| TLS verification | Skipped (insecureTLS = true) |
| Debug logging | Disabled |
| Auth token | Empty (unauthenticated) |
collection()
Section titled “collection()”Set the active collection for the next request. Returns *this for chaining.
PocketbaseExtended& collection(const char* name);| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | const char* | PocketBase collection name. |
pb.collection("notes").getOne("RECORD_ID");pb.collection("users").authWithPassword("email@example.com", "password");The _collection member persists between calls — if you call .collection("notes") and then call a method without chaining, it will target notes. Always call .collection() explicitly before each operation to prevent accidentally targeting the wrong collection.
Backward compatibility alias
Section titled “Backward compatibility alias”using PocketbaseArduino = PocketbaseExtended;Retained for v0.x sketch compatibility. PocketbaseArduino is identical to PocketbaseExtended — no code changes required.
