Add new fields to PocketBase collections using the JavaScript SDK by retrieving the current schema, merging new field definitions, and updating the collection with admin authentication. This enables automated migrations without the Admin UI.

Yes, PocketBase schema migrations can be automated through deployment scripts using the JavaScript SDK. This approach handles batch updates across multiple collections and verification of resulting fields in production workflows.

Modifying PocketBase schemas via the JavaScript SDK requires admin authentication. The Skill handles credential management and authenticated requests to ensure only authorized users can alter collection definitions.

After adding fields using the JavaScript SDK, verification retrieves and inspects the updated collection schema to confirm new field definitions are present and properly configured in PocketBase.

Yes, multiple fields can be added in a single operation by merging all new field definitions into the existing schema before updating the collection, enabling efficient batch schema modifications.

Retrieve the current collection schema first, then merge new field definitions with existing fields before updating. This pattern prevents data loss and ensures compatibility with production schemas.
