From a generated interface to a real application.
Authentication, a server API, and persistent data turn a visual prototype into an application people can use.
An attractive preview is one part of an application. Saving records, separating users' data, and handling failures require behavior beyond the screen. Review those requirements before inviting people to use a generated project.
Identify the user
Authentication establishes who is signed in. Authorization decides what that person can access. Your server must enforce access to each record; hiding a button in the interface is not an access control.
Make data persistent
A database preserves records between sessions. The API connects the interface to that storage. Parameterized queries help keep submitted values separate from database commands. Check required fields, validation, ownership, and how deletion behaves.
Know what the preview shows
A design preview from an AI tool is often a static picture of the interface. Sign-in, saved records, and error handling only work once the project runs with a real server and database in accounts you configure. Deploy it, then test sign-in, record access, loading states, and errors before publishing.
