Installation

• Update the server .env file and the client .env file with your credentials
• Update the .gitignore file by uncommenting # .env to ensure your credentials remain private and are not exposed.
• Make sure Postgres is running and create a new database called ter

psql -U user // replace user by your postgres user
CREATE DATABASE ter;

• Run in the terminal In the root directory:

// Install the dependencies
npm i

// Setup the database
npm run push

// Seed the database
npm run seed

// Run the app (it will run the client and the server automatically)
npm run dev

Building for production

npm run build
npm run start

Motivation

Focusing on developer experience: simple, efficient, and fast. This modern stack uses top-tier libraries to build a full-stack web application. Unlike the T3 app (https://create.t3.gg), we opted not to use Next.js, allowing the frontend to remain as static files, easily stored in cloud object storage like AWS S3. Consequently, this stack is designed for building web apps rather than traditional websites, as it is not SEO-friendly.

E2E Testing

The tests must be run while the app is running.

Running the tests in the Terminal

npm run test:e2e

Other recommendations

• Need a component library? Check out Chakra UI
• If your stack is getting more and more shared workspaces, consider using pnpm instead of npm
