Learn how to create an InsForge project and build a Vue app using AI tools like Cursor.

## 1. Create an InsForge project

Create a new InsForge project at [insforge.dev](https://insforge.dev).

## 2. Connect InsForge

Two pieces:

- **CLI link** — see the [Quickstart](/quickstart) to run `npx @insforge/cli link --project-id <your-project-id>` so the agent can read your project ID and keys.
- **MCP setup** — see [MCP Setup](/mcp-setup) for the per-editor config (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex, VS Code).

With both wired up the agent can read schemas, run queries, and deploy code from your editor.

## 3. Build your app with one prompt

In Cursor or your AI assistant, use this prompt:

```
Create a new Vue app with TypeScript and Vite.
Add Tailwind CSS 3.4 for styling.
Install the InsForge SDK and set up the client configuration.

In my InsForge database, create a sports table with id and name columns.
Add sample data: basketball, soccer, and tennis. Make it publicly readable.

Create a component that fetches and displays all sports from the database.
```

Your AI will generate the complete application including database setup and UI. No need to write code manually - the AI creates everything for you.

## 4. What the AI generates

Your AI assistant will automatically create files like these. You don't need to touch them manually.

**InsForge client** at `src/lib/insforge.ts`:

```typescript src/lib/insforge.ts
import { createClient } from '@insforge/sdk';

export const insforge = createClient({
  baseUrl: 'https://your-project.us-east.insforge.app',
  anonKey: 'your-anon-key'
});
```

**Sports component** at `src/components/Sports.vue`:

```vue src/components/Sports.vue
<template>
  <div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
    <h1 class="text-3xl font-bold text-gray-800 mb-6">Sports</h1>

    <div v-if="loading" class="text-center py-8">
      <p class="text-gray-600">Loading sports...</p>
    </div>

    <div v-else-if="error" class="bg-red-100 border border-red-400 text-red-700 px-4 py-3 rounded mb-4">
      <p>Error: {{ error }}</p>
    </div>

    <div v-else-if="sports && sports.length > 0" class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
      <div
        v-for="sport in sports"
        :key="sport.id"
        class="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md p-6 hover:shadow-lg transition-shadow"
      >
        <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold text-gray-800 capitalize">{{ sport.name }}</h2>
        <p class="text-sm text-gray-500 mt-2">ID: {{ sport.id }}</p>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div v-else class="text-center py-8">
      <p class="text-gray-600">No sports found.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';
import { insforge } from '../lib/insforge';

interface Sport {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  created_at?: string;
}

const sports = ref<Sport[]>([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref<string | null>(null);

const fetchSports = async () => {
  try {
    loading.value = true;
    error.value = null;

    const { data, error: fetchError } = await insforge.database
      .from('sports')
      .select();

    if (fetchError) {
      error.value = fetchError.message || 'Failed to fetch sports';
      return;
    }

    sports.value = data || [];
  } catch (err) {
    error.value = err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'An unexpected error occurred';
  } finally {
    loading.value = false;
  }
};

onMounted(() => {
  fetchSports();
});
</script>
```

## 5. Start the app

Run the development server, go to [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) in a browser and you should see the list of sports.

```bash
npm run dev
```

## Next: Extend your app with more prompts

Try these prompts to add more features to your app:

```
Add a form to create new sports and save them to the database.
Include validation and error handling.
```

```
Add user authentication with sign up and login pages.
Only allow authenticated users to add new sports.
```

```
Add a favorites feature where users can mark their favorite sports.
Store favorites in a user_favorites table with user_id and sport_id.
```

```
Add images to each sport using InsForge Storage.
Allow users to upload sport images and display them in the grid.
```

```
Add an AI chat feature that can answer questions about sports.
Use InsForge AI with streaming responses.
```
