Not Yahoo Answers

Like many bored developers in quarantine I've decided to start project #483 with the insane amount of free time I have. I was never an avid user of Yahoo! Answers but as a young lad looking for answers on the internet it would show up sometimes. This project isn't meant to be a complete rebuild of the site as it is now but just something to do to pass the time as well as try out new libraries and features.

Tech Stack

Client: React, TailwindCSS, Typescript, GraphQL

Server: Prisma, Apollo Server, Nexus

Environment Variables

There is a sample environment variable file provided with the project, to get up and running you need to rename the file to just .env and fill out the values.

Run Locally

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/nulfrost/not-yahoo-answers.git

Go to the project directory

cd not-yahoo-answers

Install dependencies

npm install

This project uses postgres as its database, to get up and running quickly I suggest using docker. You can use any method you like to install postgres though.

docker pull postgres
docker run --name postgres -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<your password> postgres

Then run the migrations and seed the database.

npx prisma migrate dev
npx prisma db seed --preview-feature

Finally run the project

npm run dev

Running Tests

Tests are located in the cypress folder.

npm run test
