If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please reach out to us through one of the following channels:

Prerequisites

To run the application locally, you will need to create the datacore and scenarios required for the application to work. You can use the Flowcore CLI to create the datacore and scenarios, or you can use the Flowcore Platform to create them manually.

To create the datacores use the following commands:

npm install -g @flowcore/cli

then copy the flowcore.local.example.yaml file to flowcore.local.yaml and fill in the missing information. Then you can run the following command to spin up an environment for development:

yarn flowcore:dev

this will create the required resources in the Flowcore Platform, inside your tenant.

Requires the Flowcore CLI version 2.5.0 or higher. Production can be created with yarn flowcore:prod The command that is run under the hood for dev is flowcore create -f flowcore.yaml -f flowcore.local.yaml

Tenants

Your tenant is part of the url when you go to your organization in the Flowcore Platform. For example, if you go to https://flowcore.io/flowcore, then flowcore is your tenant. You can also see the tenant where you select between your active organizations in the top left corner of the UI.

Clerk

You need to create an account with Clerk and create a new application. You need the two environmental variables NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY and CLERK_SECRET_KEY to be set in your .env file.

Run locally

Clone the repository (or fork it if you intend to contribute)
yarn
Start a PostgreSQL server. You can run yarn docker:db
Run yarn db:push to create the database tables
