DarkLorenEstrada / dabitt-backend

About

dabitts was a side project mainly created to expand my understanding of how to build a full stack application with features like authentication, theme providers, and using Next.js with a node backend. The site itself is meant to serve as a low friction to do app that also provides analytics on where and how you have been spending the majority of your time.

Overall, I had a ton of fun working on the project and learned a lot about how to get a full stack project from ideation to deployed.

You can checkout the final hosted product at: https://dabitts.com/

Running Locally

This project has a few third party dependencies as well as a corresponding frontend that needs to be setup before you can run the app locally. A .env.example file has also been provided as an example of how your .env file should be structured.

Auth0

For authentication the project uses Auth0 which requires the following .env variables to be set.

#Auth0
AUDIENCE="[YOUR AUTH0 AUDIENCE]"
ISSUER_BASE_URL="[YOUR AUTH0 ISSUER BASE URL]"

Postgres

The api uses a postgres database with prisma as the ORM. Before running make sure that you have a postgres database running locally and that the connection string has been added to the .env file.

#Postgres
DATABASE_URL="[YOUR DATABASE CONNECTION STRING]"

Once added you need to migrate the prisma schema to your local database:

npx prisma migrate dev --name init

Run

Once the above has been configured you can run the development server:

npm run devStart
# or
yarn devStart

Open http://localhost:3001 (or whatever port you specified in .env) with your browser to see the result.
