⚡️ Full-stack type-safe pnpm monorepo with NestJS, NextJS & tRPC
This an accompanying repo to this tutorial which covers how to build a full-stack, end to end type-safe pnpm monorepo with NestJS, NextJS 13 (using the new /app directory) & tRPC.
I have fallen in love with this tech stack as the developer experience is SO good! I'm pretty sure you will too 😉.
In particular, I love that:
- It's fully end-to-end type safe
- The tRPC server is fully integrated into NestJS, so you have access to all of NestJS's wonderful functionality like dependency injection
- Fits really well with the NextJS 13 transition to server side rendering
- It keeps the frontend(s) and backend project seperate, but seamlessly working together in the monorepo
I also wrote this tutorial as many people in the NestJS community are curious on how to use tRPC with NestJS!
The only pre-requisites for this tutorial is that you'll need pnpm and the NestJS CLI installed on your machine.
Give it a spin:
First make sure you add an .env.local file inside the web app with the following variable:
NEXT_PUBLIC_NESTJS_SERVER=http://localhost:4000Then install the dependencies:
pnpm install
pnpm dev # starts local server for both frontend (NextJS) and backend (NestJS)
