Development

Dependencies

To start development, you need some dependencies to get it all up and running. Most actual dependencies are run with Docker, so it should be fairly simple to run. The dependencies are:

NodeJS (recent version, 18.x+).
Yarn 1.x (higher is tested and works, but 1.x is recommended)..
Docker.
Docker Compose.

It's advised to develop using a UNIX based operating system (Linux or macOS mostly), as Windows can sometimes give weird issues. You are welcome to still use Windows, but know that only limited support can be given.

Starting Up

Development is done locally, with the services it depends on running with Docker. To start the dependencies, a Docker compose file is provided. This can be start with:

docker-compose up

This exposes several services:

The Postgres database to connect to, accesible at the default port 5432.
An Adminer instance, to explore the database, accesible at localhost:8080.
Mailcatcher SMTP server, at port 1025.
Mailcatcher to view the outgoing email at localhost:8081.

Now to start the actual application, install the dependencies first:

yarn install

The database has to be set up separately. Fortunally it's also very simple, to create the structure you can run the following command:

yarn migrate-dev

Now to seed the database with some sample data found in server/prisma/seed, you can run the following command.

yarn seed

Now you can start the server and visit it on localhost:3000:

yarn dev

Resetting

It's possible that the database enters an invalid state because of an programming error. You can either fix this manual at the database interface, but it's easier to just reset.

This can be done by stopping the development server, running the following command, and start the server again:
