Warning This is a work-in-progress and not the finished product.

Feel free to leave feature suggestions but please don't open issues for bugs or support requests just yet.

About

This project features the next-generation stack for building fullstack application. It's structured as a monorepo with a shared API using tRPC. Built on the new app router in Next.js 13 with React Server Components.

• For database querying, Kysely is used as a query builder whilst remaining Prisma as a schema management tool. (This means it's fully edge-ready!). To keep a good DX, we use a custom setup with kysely-prisma-generator to pull out all the prisma types, and then a post-generate script to create a fully typesafe db client using database.js from PlanetScale.
• This project uses Clerk as it's authentication provider.
• Awesome UI components from shadcn/ui

Installation

There are two ways of initializing an app using the acme-corp starter. You can either use this repository as a template:

or use Turbo's CLI to init your project:

npx create-turbo@latest -e https://github.com/juliusmarminge/acme-corp

Quick Start

Note The db package is preconfigured to use PlanetScale and is edge-ready with the database.js driver. If you're using something else, make the necesary modifications to the Kysely client.

To get it running, follow the steps below:

1. Setup dependencies

# Install dependencies
pnpm i

# Configure environment variables
# There is an `.env.example` in the root directory you can use for reference
cp .env.example .env.local

# Push the Prisma schema to the database
pnpm db:push

2. Configure Expo dev-script

Warning The Expo app is still stock from create-t3-turbo and haven't yet gotten any attention.

We will get their in due time!

Use iOS Simulator

1. Make sure you have XCode and XCommand Line Tools installed as shown on expo docs.

   NOTE: If you just installed XCode, or if you have updated it, you need to open the simulator manually once. Run npx expo start in the root dir, and then enter I to launch Expo Go. After the manual launch, you can run pnpm dev in the root directory.

   +  "dev": "expo start --ios",

2. Run pnpm dev at the project root folder.

Use Android Emulator

1. Install Android Studio tools as shown on expo docs.

2. Change the dev script at apps/expo/package.json to open the Android emulator.

   +  "dev": "expo start --android",

3. Run pnpm dev at the project root folder.

TIP: It might be easier to run each app in separate terminal windows so you get the logs from each app separately. This is also required if you want your terminals to be interactive, e.g. to access the Expo QR code. You can run pnpm --filter expo dev and pnpm --filter nextjs dev to run each app in a separate terminal window.

3. When it's time to add a new package

To add a new package, simply run pnpm turbo gen init in the monorepo root. This will prompt you for a package name as well as if you want to install any dependencies to the new package (of course you can also do this yourself later).

The generator sets up the package.json, tsconfig.json and a index.ts, as well as configures all the necessary configurations for tooling around your package such as formatting, linting and typechecking. When the package is created, you're ready to go build out the package.
