Kleap Database - Kleap Documentation

Kleap Database is a built-in database and authentication system for your site. When your app needs to save data or let people log in, Kleap can add a real database — a built-in database, kept private per user — without you managing any infrastructure.

Kleap Database is optional and added on demand. A simple marketing or landing site doesn’t need it — it stays fast and static. You add a database only when your app needs stored data or user accounts.

When to Use It

Use Kleap Database when your app needs to:

Save records that persist (bookings, orders, reviews, submissions you query)
Let visitors create accounts and log in
Show each user their own private data

Use Forms & Data instead when you just need to collect contact/lead/newsletter submissions — forms already save to your dashboard and send email notifications, with zero setup.

Adding a Database

The easiest way is to ask the AI:

Add a booking system where visitors pick a date and time,
and store the bookings in a database

Add user accounts with email and password login,
and a dashboard where each user sees their own data

Kleap provisions the database for that app and wires up the code. You can also enable it from the Database integration in your project settings.

User Accounts

Kleap Database includes ready-made authentication for your site’s visitors — email and password sign-up and login, with pre-built UI components.

Add a login and signup page, and protect the /dashboard
page so only logged-in users can see it

Behind the scenes each user only sees their own data, so it stays private by default.

Your site’s user accounts (visitors logging into your app) are separate from your Kleap account (how you log in to build). They’re two different systems.

Viewing Your Data

Once a database is added, you can browse your tables and rows from the project’s Database panel in the dashboard — no SQL required.

Working with Data

You describe changes in plain language and Kleap handles the schema and queries:

Add a "status" field to bookings with values pending, confirmed, cancelled

Create a reviews table with name, rating, and comment

Generated pages read and write data with a simple client (each user only sees their own data):

// Illustrative — Kleap writes this for you
import { db } from "@/lib/kleap-db";

// Read
const { data: bookings } = await db.from("bookings").select("*");

// Write
await db.from("bookings").insert({ date, time, name });

Best Practices

Only add a database when you need one

Static sites are faster and simpler. Add Kleap Database when your app genuinely needs stored data or logins.

Use Forms for simple submissions

Contact and lead forms are better served by built-in Forms, which notify you by email automatically.

Keep private data private

Each user sees only their own data by default. Keep it that way for anything private.

Collect submissions with Forms

For contact and lead forms, use built-in Forms
