WeChat DevTools Setup Guide

After setup, you can operate CloudBase services directly from the CodeBuddy extension inside WeChat DevTools.

Examples:

  • "Create a users collection" - AI creates database collections automatically
  • "Deploy this function" - AI uploads and configures cloud functions
