Commands

We are using nx, so you should get comfortable with the NX CLI commands.

To make onboarding easier the most common commands have traditional npm aliases:

Command	Effect
pnpm dev	Start the development server for all aps
pnpm build	Build all apps
pnpm test	Run all tests
pnpm arrange	Read all content banks and rewrite them into the system rearranged
pnpm migrate	Run all migrations for all databases
pnpm infra	Start all required services for local development
pnpm lint	Lints (and changes) all code. Use lint:check for validation
pnpm format	Format all code using Prettier. Use format:check for validation
pnpm types	Check all types using tsc. Use types:check for validation

.env

To run the application you will need to provide some env variables in an .env file. You can get started by copying over the .env.example:

cp .env.example .env.local

If you create the required services remotely, you can create other env files to point to those services. For example:

cp .env.example .env.prod

You can then run specific configurations using the nx -c flag:

pnpm run dev -c prod
pnpm run build -c prod
pnpm run migrate -c prod

For more information on managing .env variables within an nx project you can read more here.

Local development

A docker-compose file is provided to run the required services locally. You will need to run pnpm infra to initialize the required services. The provided .env.example is configured to connect to this local setup.
