How can I run the app?

Initial Setup

CineSync is intended to be run using Nodejs's latest stable version.

• git clone https://github.com/chrispinkney/cinesync.git
• cd cinesync/api
• npm i
• npm run db:generate
• cd ../web
• npm i

Running Cinesync

• Backend & db:
  • docker-compose --env-file ./api/.env up
• Frontend:
  • cd web
  • npm run dev

Frontend development

• You can run the full backend (API + DB) using docker, or just the db using docker and the api in CLI:
  • db: docker-compose up --build db, and the api with cd api && npm run dev
• The first time the db is started a migration needs to be applied: npm run db:migrate
  • This also needs to happen each time the schema file changes, followed by npm run db:generate
• To stop the containers: docker-compose down

Running the frontend:

• cd web
• npm run dev
