## Development
|
|
|
|
> Node.js 18 or newer is recommended.
|
|
|
|
This project is structured as a monorepo using **pnpm** workspaces, separated into three packages:
|
|
|
|
- `client` - Next.js application for the front-end, deployed to [ches.su](https://ches.su) via Vercel.
|
|
- `server` - Node/Express.js application for the back-end, deployed to [server.ches.su](https://server.ches.su) via Railway.
|
|
- `types` - Shared type definitions required by the client and server.
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Install [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation).
|
|
2. Install the necessary dependencies by running `pnpm install` in the root directory of the project.
|
|
3. In the `server` directory, create a `.env` file for your PostgreSQL database. You can try [ElephantSQL](https://www.elephantsql.com/) or [Aiven](https://aiven.io/postgresql) for a free hosted database.
|
|
```env
|
|
PGHOST=db.example.com
|
|
PGUSER=exampleuser
|
|
PGPASSWORD=examplepassword
|
|
PGDATABASE=chessu
|
|
```
|
|
4. Run the development servers with `pnpm dev`.
|
|
- To run the frontend and backend servers separately, use `pnpm dev:client` and `pnpm dev:server`, respectively.
|
|
5. You can now access the frontend at http://localhost:3000 and the backend at http://localhost:3001.
