Getting started
1. Install dependencies
Install npm dependencies:
npm ci
2. Create and seed the database
If you're using Docker on your computer, the following script will set up a PostgreSQL database using the docker-compose.yml file at the root of
your project:
npm run db:up
Model your data in the Prisma schema by editing the
prisma/schema.prisma fiile
Run the following command to create your PostgreSQL database:
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
When npx prisma migrate dev is executed against a newly created database, seeding is also triggered. To add seeding, create a
seed file in prisma/seed.ts
and it will be executed against your database.
3. Configuring your environment
cp .env.example .env
Ensure these variables are correct.
4. Start the app
npm run dev
The app is now running, navigate to http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to explore its UI.
