This is a clone of Trello application built using Hasura and Next.js. This application has been bootstrapped using Hasura Next.js Boilerplate This mono-repo consists of the following packages:

  1. frontend: Next.js application
  2. backend: Dockerized Hasura application

Overview

This boilerplate is built using Lerna for managing all the packages in a simple manner. Because of Lerna, it becomes very easy to install, develop and maintain a mono-repo structure.

Requirements

  1. Node.js
  2. npm
  3. Lerna
  4. Docker

Packages

1. Frontend: Next.js application

This application is the primary user-facing application. Once it’s up and running (see Development section), it’s available on http://localhost:3000/.

Home page before login

To create a new user, we’ll have to Sign Up using Google. NextAuth is being used to help us in authentication.

2. Backend: Dockerized Hasura application

Hasura is an open source engine that connects to our databases & micro-services and auto-generates a production-ready GraphQL backend. It’s very easy to get Hasura up and running on our local system. All the migrations are set up in the migrations directory.

Installation

1. Clone the application

git clone https://github.com/ghoshnirmalya/nextjs-hasura-trello-clone

2. Install Lerna globally

npm install --global lerna

3. Bootstrap the packages

From the project root, we can run the following command to bootstrap the packages and install all their dependencies and linking any cross-dependencies:

lerna bootstrap

4. Start the packages

From the project root, we can run the following command to start our Node.js packages:

yarn start

The above command will start the frontend package on http://localhost:3000/.

The backend package doesn’t do anything after we execute the above command.

5. Go inside the directory of the backend package

cd packages/backend

6. Create a .env file and copy the contents from .env.example (present in packages/backend directory)

7. Generate the RSA keys

openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in private.pem -pubout > public.pem

8. Print the keys in the escaped format

awk -v ORS='\\n' '1' public.pem

9. Copy the value of the key into the HASURA_GRAPHQL_JWT_SECRET key (in the .env file)

10. Start docker-compose

docker-compose up

We need to start Docker and then run the above command which will change the current directory to the backend package’s directory and then start the backend package. If everything goes well, it’ll be up and running on http://localhost:8080/v1/graphql.

Deployment

We’re still working on this feature. The documentation will be updated soon.
