Install MongoDB Community Server to host a local instance of MongoDB. It may also be helpful to download MongoDB Compass to view the state of your database.
Make sure you have Node.js 18 installed. Check by running node -v
. If your Node version is less than 18, either reinstall Node from the prior link or manage multiple versions of Node with a tool like nvm.
In the root directory of the project, run:
npm install
This command should have installed all necessary dependencies for the app to run.
In the root directory, run one of these commands based on your OS:
npm run secrets:linux # mac / linux
npm run secrets:windows # windows
You should be prompted for a master password. Ask your Engineering leadership to continue. Once the password has been verified, your .env.development.local
file should have been created automatically for you.
If you are unable to use the commands to retrieve the .env
file, you can download or visit Bitwarden and login using [email protected]
and the master password. The .env
file will be available within the vault.
To start the Next.js dev server, run:
npm run dev
Once authenticated, seed your local database by navigating to http://localhost:3000/api/seed
.
Install and enable Prettier in VSCode. This repository is also configured with a pre-commit hook that automatically formats any code you commit to ensure formatting consistency throughout the codebase.
- Install Docker
- Obtain the Bitwarden password from your EM. Create a
bitwarden.env
file and fill it in with the following contents:This only needs to be done on your first run. After that, you should delete the file from your repository to avoid pushing it to Github.BW_PASSWORD=<your bitwarden password>
- Start the application with Docker Compose:
docker compose up
If you make any changes to the packages, you may need to rebuild the images. To do this, append --build to the above docker compose up command.
The Dockerized application will have live-reloading of changes made on the host machine.
Note: On linux-based operating systems, if you come across an entrypoint permission error (i.e. process: exec: "./entrypoint.sh": permission denied: unknown
), run chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh
to make the shell file an executable.
Windows Users: If you come across this error exec ./entrypoint.sh: no such file or directory
when running the docker compose command, please follow this Stackoverflow thread to fix it.
