A preposterously simple todo app powered by EdgeDB

TodoMVC with EdgeDB and Next.js

The branches

• main — the completed version of the app
• incomplete — the incomplete version of the app

Get started

• git clone

• TypeScript

• React

• Next.js

• EdgeDB (1-beta.2)

• The edgedb NPM module (docs)

• react-query for fetching

• Axios for HTTP

Clone the repo

$ git clone [e-mail]:edgedb/simpletodo.git
$ cd simpletodo
$ yarn

Initialize the project

Install the edgedb CLI if you haven't already

# macOS/Linux
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.edgedb.com | sh

# Windows
PS> iwr https://ps1.edgedb.com -useb | iex

Then initialize the project. Run the following command from the project root.

$ edgedb project init

This does a few things:

1. It installs EdgeDB if it isn't already installed on your computer.
2. It prompts you to create or select a local EdgeDB instance to be used for this project.
3. It automatically applies all migrations inside dbschema/migrations.

The database is now fully configured and ready for use!

Generate TypeScript query builder files

Auto-generate the TypeScript query builder files based on the current schema:

$ npx edgeql-js           # npm users
$ yarn edgeql-js          # yarn users

Start the server

Start the server.

$ yarn dev

Then go to localhost:3000, and creating some todos, and start looking through the code to learn how to build applications with EdgeDB!
