Feature Request: Shared Backend Logic

Shared Backend Logic in a non-public directory next to /functions and /src

The Problem

Building robust apps with multiple backend functions often requires shared logic – validation, calculations, transformations. Right now, Base44 forces you to either:

• Duplicate code across functions (maintenance nightmare, bugs multiply)

• Call functions via HTTP internally (extra latency, brittle architecture)

Neither is acceptable for production-grade apps.

What we need

A dedicated

/shared

directory (or similar) that:

• Can be imported by any backend function via relative import

• Is not exposed as an HTTP endpoint

• Is treated by the AI as a central, reusable module – not something to be inlined or duplicated

Why this matters

The AI currently "thinks locally" – every time it touches a function, it rebuilds logic from scratch instead of recognizing and reusing shared modules. A first-class

/shared

directory would give the AI a clear architectural signal: THIS code is shared, reference it, don't duplicate it !!!

This isn't just a developer convenience. It's the difference between apps that scale and apps that break the moment you need to update a single piece of logic in five places.

The ask

Make Base44 the platform where serious apps are built seriously. Give us

/shared
