> ❗ This project is still in the early stages of development and should be considered unstable. Expect bugs and weird behavior.
|
|
|

|
|
Built with Next.js 13, Tailwind CSS + daisyUI, react-chessboard, chess.js, Express.js, socket.io and PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
This project is structured as a monorepo using npm workspaces, separated into three packages:
|
|
|
|
- `client` - Next.js application for the front-end, deployed to [ches.su](https://ches.su).
|
|
- `server` - Node/Express.js application for the back-end, deployed to [server.ches.su](https://server.ches.su).
|
|
- `types` - Shared type definitions for the client and server.
|
|
|
|
### Scripts
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# install all dependencies, including eslint and prettier for development
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
# concurrently run frontend and backend development servers
|
|
npm run dev # -w client/server to run only one
|
|
|
|
|
|
# for separate production deployments
|
|
npm install -w client
|
|
npm install -w server
|
|
|
|
npm run build -w client
|
|
npm run build -w server
|
|
|
|
npm start -w client
|
|
npm start -w server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For separate deployments, you may exclude the `client` or `server` directory. However, you should include the `types` folder as it contains shared type definitions that are required by both packages.
|
|
|
|
### Environment variables
|
|
|
|
You may create a `.env` file in each package directory to set their environment variables.
|
|
|
|
client:
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3001 # replace with backend URL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
server:
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000 # replace with frontend URL
|
|
PORT=3001
|
|
SESSION_SECRET=randomstring # replace for security
|
|
|
|
# PostgreSQL connection info
|
|
PGHOST=db.example.com
|
|
PGUSER=exampleuser
|
|
PGPASSWORD=examplepassword
|
|

|
|
|
|
