Welcome to Manifest Documentation 👋

Manifest is the simplest BaaS (Backend As A Service) you will find.

It provides a complete backend to your client app without the hassle that comes with it. It actually fits into a single YAML file that generates a complete backend.

Here is an example of a complete Manifest app:

# manifest/backend.yml
name: Healthcare application

entities:
  👩🏾‍⚕️ Doctor:
    properties:
      - fullName
      - avatar
      - { name: price, type: money, options: { currency: EUR } }
    belongsTo:
      - City

  🤒 Patient:
    properties:
      - fullName
      - { name: birthdate, type: date }
    belongsTo:
      - Doctor

  🌍 City:
    properties:
      - name
