The majority of the setup is done in the root directory of the project. Please refer to the root readme for more information.
To develop the backend by itself (without the frontend and bot), run pnpm dev in the packages/backend directory. This will start the backend server on port 3000.
The database of choice for this project is PostgreSQL. The database is run using Docker. To start the database, run docker-compose up -d in the root directory of the project. To stop the database, run docker-compose down in the root directory of the project. The database is exposed on port 5432.
The library used to interface with the database is DrizzleORM, which is a wrapper around native database bindings. It is a very simple and lightweight ORM that is easy to use and understand as it closely resembles SQL.
To edit the database schema edit the src/drizzle/schema.ts file. To generate migrations based on the schema run pnpm generate in the packages/backend directory. This will generate a migration file in the src/drizzle/migrations directory.
When the backend is started, the migrations will be run automatically.
