+description: Accessibility is a core feature that's built-in
+---
+
+# Accessibility (aka a11y)
+
+We built Redwood to make building websites more accessible (we write all the config so you don't have to), but Redwood's also built to help you make more accessible websites.
+Accessibility shouldn't be a nice-to-have.
+It should be a given from the start.
+A core feature that's built-in and well-supported.
+
+There's a lot of great tooling out there that'll not only help you build accessible websites, but also help you learn exactly what that means.
+
+> **Does tooling obviate the need for manual testing?**
+>
+> No—even with all the tooling in the world, manual testing is still important, especially for accessibility.
+> But just because tooling doesn't catch everything doesn't mean it's not valuable.
+> It'd be much harder to learn what to look for without it.
+
+## Accessible Routing
+
+For single-page applications (SPAs), accessibility starts with the router.
+Without a full-page refresh, you just can't be sure that things like announcements and focus are being taken care of the way they're supposed to be.
+Here's a great example of [how disorienting SPAs can be to screen-reader users](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKTdNv8JpuM).
+On navigation, nothing's announced.
+The lack of an announcement isn't just buggy behavior—it's broken.
+
+Normally, the onus would be on you as a developer to announce to screen-reader users that they've navigated somewhere new.
+That's a lot to ask—and hard to get right—especially when you're just trying to build your app.
+
+Luckily, if you're writing thoughtful content and marking it up semantically, there's nothing you have to do!
+The router automatically announces pages on navigation, and looks for announcements in this order:
+
+1. The `RouteAnnouncement` component
+2. The page's `
`
+3. `document.title`
+4. `location.pathname`
+
+The reason for this order is that announcements should be as specific as possible.
+more specific usually means more descriptive, and more descriptive usually means that users can not only orient themselves and navigate through the content, but also find it again.
+
+> If you're not sure if your content is descriptive enough, see the [W3 guidelines](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G88.html).
+
+Even though Redwood looks for a `RouteAnnouncement` component first, you don't have to have one on every page—it's more than ok for the `` to be what's announced.
+`RouteAnnouncement` is there for when the situation calls for a custom announcement.
+
+### `RouteAnnouncement`
+
+The way `RouteAnnouncement` works is simple: its children will be announced.
+Note that this can be something on the page or can be something that's visually hidden using the `visuallyHidden` prop:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.js"
+import { RouteAnnouncement } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ return (
+ // This will still be visible
+
+ Welcome to my site!
+
+ )
+}
+
+export default HomePage
+```
+
+```jsx title="web/src/pages/AboutPage/AboutPage.js"
+import { RouteAnnouncement } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+
+const AboutPage = () => {
+ return (
+ Welcome to my site!
+ // This won't be visible
+ // highlight-start
+
+ All about me
+
+ // highlight-end
+ )
+}
+
+export default AboutPage
+```
+
+`visuallyHidden` shouldn't be the first thing you reach for—it's good to maintain parity between your site's visual and audible experiences.
+But it's there if you need it.
+
+## Focus
+
+On page change, Redwood Router resets focus to the top of the DOM so that users can navigate through the new page.
+While this is the expected behavior (and the behavior you usually want), for some pages—especially those with a lot of navigation—it can be cumbersome for users to have tab through navigation before getting to the main point.
+(And that goes for every page change!)
+
+Right now, there's two ways to alleviate this: with skip links or the `RouteFocus` component.
+
+### Skip Links
+
+Since the main content isn't usually the first thing on the page, it's a best practice to provide a shortcut for keyboard and screen-reader users to skip to it.
+Skip links do just that, and if you generate a layout using the `--skipLink` option, you'll get one with a skip link:
+
+```
+yarn rw g layout main --skipLink
+```
+
+```jsx title="web/src/layouts/MainLayout/MainLayout.js"
+import { SkipNavLink, SkipNavContent } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+import '@redwoodjs/router/skip-nav.css'
+
+const MainLayout = ({ children }) => {
+ return (
+ <>
+
+
+
+ {children}
+ >
+ )
+}
+
+export default MainLayout
+```
+
+`SkipNavLink` renders a link that remains hidden till focused and `SkipNavContent` renders a div as the target for the link.
+The code for these components comes from Reach UI. For more details, see [Reach UI's docs](https://reach.tech/skip-nav/#reach-skip-nav).
+
+One thing you'll probably want to do is change the URL the skip link sends the user to when activated.
+You can do that by changing the `contentId` and `id` props of `SkipNavLink` and `SkipNavContent` respectively:
+
+```jsx
+
+{/* ... */}
+
+```
+
+If you'd prefer to implement your own skip link, [Ben Myers' blog](https://benmyers.dev/blog/skip-links/) is a great resource, and a great place to read about accessibility in general.
+
+### `RouteFocus`
+
+Sometimes you don't want to just skip the nav, but send a user somewhere.
+In this situation, you of course have the foresight that that place is where the user wants to be.
+So please use this at your discretion—sending a user to an unexpected location can be worse than sending them back the top.
+
+Having said that, if you know that on a particular page change a user's focus is better off being directed to a particular element, the `RouteFocus` component is what you want:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/pages/ContactPage/ContactPage.js"
+// highlight-next-line
+import { RouteFocus } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+
+const ContactPage = () => (
+
+ {/* Way too much nav... */}
+
+
+ // The contact form the user actually wants to interact with
+ // highlight-start
+
+
+
+ // highlight-end
+)
+
+export default ContactPage
+```
+
+`RouteFocus` tells the router to send focus to it's child on page change. In the example above, when the user navigates to the contact page, the name text field on the form is focused—the first field of the form they're here to fill out.

+title: App Configuration
+description: Configure your app with redwood.toml
+---
+
+# App Configuration: redwood.toml
+
+One of the premier places you can configure your Redwood app is `redwood.toml`. By default, `redwood.toml` lists the following configuration options:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ title = "Redwood App"
+ port = 8910
+ apiUrl = "/.redwood/functions"
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = []
+[api]
+ port = 8911
+[browser]
+ open = true
+[notifications]
+ versionUpdates = ["latest"]
+```
+
+These are listed by default because they're the ones that you're most likely to configure, but there are plenty more available.
+
+You can think of `redwood.toml` as a frontend for configuring Redwood's build tools.
+For certain options, instead of having to configure build tools directly, there's quick access via `redwood.toml`.
+
+## [web]
+
+| Key | Description | Default |
+| :---------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------------- |
+| `title` | Title of your Redwood app | `'Redwood App'` |
+| `port` | Port for the web server to listen at | `8910` |
+| `apiUrl` | URL to your api server. This can be a relative URL in which case it acts like a proxy, or a fully-qualified URL | `'/.redwood/functions'` |
+| `includeEnvironmentVariables` | Environment variables made available to the web side during dev and build | `[]` |
+| `host` | Hostname for the web server to listen at | Defaults to `'0.0.0.0'` in production and `'::'` in development |
+| `apiGraphQLUrl` | URL to your GraphQL function | `'${apiUrl}/graphql'` |
+| `apiDbAuthUrl` | URL to your dbAuth function | `'${apiUrl}/auth'` |
+| `sourceMap` | Enable source maps for production builds | `false` |
+| `a11y` | Enable storybook `addon-a11y` and `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` | `true` |
+
+### Customizing the GraphQL Endpoint
+
+By default, Redwood derives the GraphQL endpoint from `apiUrl` such that it's `${apiUrl}/graphql`, (with the default `apiUrl`, `./redwood/functions/graphql`).
+But sometimes you want to host your api side somewhere else.
+There's two ways you can do this:
+
+1. Change `apiUrl`:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ apiUrl = "https://api.coolredwoodapp.com"
+```
+
+Now the GraphQL endpoint is at `https://api.coolredwoodapp.com/graphql`.
+
+2. Change `apiGraphQLUrl`:
+
+```diff title="redwood.toml"
+ [web]
+ apiUrl = "/.redwood/functions"
++ apiGraphQLUrl = "https://api.coolredwoodapp.com/graphql"
+```
+
+### Customizing the dbAuth Endpoint
+
+Similarly, if you're using dbAuth, you may decide to host it somewhere else.
+To do this without affecting your other endpoints, you can add `apiDbAuthUrl` to your `redwood.toml`:
+
+```diff title="redwood.toml"
+ [web]
+ apiUrl = "/.redwood/functions"
++ apiDbAuthUrl = "https://api.coolredwoodapp.com/auth"
+```
+
+:::tip
+
+If you host your web and api sides at different domains and don't use a proxy, make sure you have [CORS](./cors.md) configured.
+Otherwise browser security features may block client requests.
+
+:::
+
+### includeEnvironmentVariables
+
+`includeEnvironmentVariables` is the set of environment variables that should be available to your web side during dev and build.
+Use it to include env vars like public keys for third-party services you've defined in your `.env` file:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = ["PUBLIC_KEY"]
+```
+
+```text title=".env"
+PUBLIC_KEY=...
+```
+
+Instead of including them in `includeEnvironmentVariables`, you can also prefix them with `REDWOOD_ENV_` (see [Environment Variables](environment-variables.md#web)).
+
+:::caution `includeEnvironmentVariables` isn't for secrets
+
+Don't make secrets available to your web side. Everything in `includeEnvironmentVariables` is included in the bundle.
+
+:::
+
+## [api]
+
+| Key | Description | Default |
+| :------------- | :---------------------------------- | :------------------------- |
+| `port` | Port for the api server to listen at | `8911` |
+| `host` | Hostname for the api server to listen at | Defaults to `'0.0.0.0'` in production and `'::'` in development |
+| `debugPort` | Port for the debugger to listen at | `18911` |
+| `serverConfig` | [Deprecated; use the [server file](./docker.md#using-the-server-file) instead] Path to the `server.config.js` file | `'./api/server.config.js'` |
+
+## [browser]
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[browser]
+ open = true
+```
+
+Setting `open` to `true` opens your browser to `http://${web.host}:${web.port}` (by default, `http://localhost:8910`) after the dev server starts.
+If you want your browser to stop opening when you run `yarn rw dev`, set this to `false`.
+(Or just remove it entirely.)
+
+There's actually a lot more you can do here. For more, see Vite's docs on [`preview.open`](https://vitejs.dev/config/preview-options.html#preview-open).
+
+## [generate]
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[generate]
+ tests = true
+ stories = true
+```
+
+Many of Redwood's generators create Jest tests or Storybook stories.
+Understandably, this can be lot of files, and sometimes you don't want all of them, either because you don't plan on using Jest or Storybook, or are just getting started and don't want the overhead.
+These options allows you to disable the generation of test and story files.
+
+## [cli]
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[notifications]
+ versionUpdates = ["latest"]
+```
+
+There are new versions of the framework all the time—a major every couple months, a minor every week or two, and patches when appropriate.
+And if you're on an experimental release line, like canary, there's new versions every day, multiple times.
+
+If you'd like to get notified (at most, once a day) when there's a new version, set `versionUpdates` to include the version tags you're interested in.
+
+## Using Environment Variables in `redwood.toml`
+
+You may find yourself wanting to change keys in `redwood.toml` based on the environment you're deploying to.
+For example, you may want to point to a different `apiUrl` in your staging environment.
+
+You can do so with environment variables.
+Let's look at an example:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ // highlight-start
+ title = "App running on ${APP_TITLE}"
+ port = "${PORT:8910}"
+ apiUrl = "${API_URL:/.redwood/functions}"
+ // highlight-end
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = []
+```
+
+This `${:[fallback]}` syntax does the following:
+
+- sets `title` by interpolating the env var `APP_TITLE`
+- sets `port` to the env var `PORT`, falling back to `8910`
+- sets `apiUrl` to the env var `API_URL`, falling back to `/.redwood/functions` (the default)
+
+That's pretty much all there is to it.
+Just remember two things:
+
+1. fallback is always a string
+2. these values are interpolated at build time
+
+## Running in a Container or VM
+
+To run a Redwood app in a container or VM, you'll want to set both the web and api's `host` to `0.0.0.0` to allow network connections to and from the host:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ host = '0.0.0.0'
+[api]
+ host = '0.0.0.0'
+```
+
+You can also configure these values via `REDWOOD_WEB_HOST` and `REDWOOD_API_HOST`.
+And if you set `NODE_ENV` to production, these will be the defaults anyway.

+description: How to include assets—like images—in your app
+---
+
+# Assets and Files
+
+There are two ways to add an asset to your Redwood app:
+
+1. co-locate it with the component using it and import it into the component as if it were code
+2. add it to the `web/public` directory and reference it relative to your site's root
+
+Where possible, prefer the first strategy.
+
+It lets Vite include the asset in the bundle when the file is small enough.
+
+### Co-locating and Importing Assets
+
+Let's say you want to show your app's logo in your `Header` component.
+First, add your logo to the `Header` component's directory:
+
+```text
+web/src/components/Header/
+// highlight-next-line
+├── logo.png
+├── Header.js
+├── Header.stories.js
+└── Header.test.js
+```
+
+Then, in the `Header` component, import your logo as if it were code:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/components/Header/Header.js"
+// highlight-next-line
+import logo from './logo.png'
+
+const Header = () => {
+ return (
+
+ {/* ... */}
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+
+ )
+}
+
+export default Header
+```
+
+If you're curious how this works, see the Vite docs on [static asset handling](https://vitejs.dev/guide/assets.html).
+
+## Adding to the `web/public` Directory
+
+You can also add assets to the `web/public` directory, effectively adding static files to your app.
+During dev and build, Redwood copies `web/public`'s contents into `web/dist`.
+
+> Changes to `web/public` don't hot-reload.
+
+Again, because assets in this directory don't go through Vite, **use this strategy sparingly**, and mainly for assets like favicons, manifests, `robots.txt`, libraries incompatible with Vite, etc.
+
+### Example: Adding Your Logo and Favicon to `web/public`
+
+Let's say that you've added your logo and favicon to `web/public`:
+
+```
+web/public/
+├── img/
+│ └── logo.png
+└── favicon.png
+```
+
+When you run `yarn rw dev` and `yarn rw build`, Redwood copies
+`web/public/img/logo.png` to `web/dist/img/logo.png` and `web/public/favicon.png` to `web/dist/favicon.png`:
+
+```text
+web/dist/
+├── static/
+│ ├── js/
+│ └── css/
+// highlight-start
+├── img/
+│ └── logo.png
+└── favicon.png
+// highlight-end
+```
+
+You can reference these files in your code without any special handling:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/components/Header/Header.js"
+import { Head } from '@redwoodjs/web'
+
+const Header = () => {
+ return (
+ <>
+
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+ >
+ )
+}
+
+export default Header
+```
+
+## Styling SVGs: The special type of image
+
+By default you can import and use SVG images like any other image asset.
+
+```jsx title="web/src/components/Example.jsx"
+// highlight-next-line
+import svgIconSrc from '../mySvg.svg'
+
+const Example = () => {
+ return (
+ <>
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+ >
+ )
+}
+
+export default Example
+```
+
+Sometimes however, you might want more control over styling your SVGs - maybe you want to modify the `stroke-width` or `fill` color.
+
+The easiest way to achieve this, is to make your SVGs a React component. Open up your SVG file, and drop in its contents into a component – for example:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/components/icons/CarIcon.tsx"
+import type { SVGProps } from "react"
+
+export const CarIcon = (props: SVGProps) => {
+ return (
+ // 👇 content of your SVG file
+ {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Clicking sign up should redirect you to Auth0:
+
+
+
+After you sign up, you should be redirected back to your Redwood app, and you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.

+# Azure Active Directory Authentication
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth azure-active-directory
+```
+
+This installs all the packages, writes all the files, and makes all the code
+modifications you need. For a detailed explanation of all the api- and web-side
+changes that aren't exclusive to Azure, see the top-level
+[Authentication](../authentication.md) doc. For now, let's focus on Azure's
+side of things.
+
+Follow the steps in [Single-page application: App registration](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-spa-app-registration).
+After registering your app, you'll be redirected to its "Overview" section.
+We're interested in two credentials here, "Application (client) ID" and "Directory (tenant) ID".
+Go ahead and copy "Application (client) ID" to your `.env` file as `AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT_ID`.
+But "Directory (tenant) ID" needs a bit more explanation.
+
+Azure has an option called "Authority". It's a URL that specifies a directory that MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) can request tokens from.
+You can read more about it [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/msal-client-application-configuration#authority),
+but to cut to the chase, you probably want `https://login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}` as your Authority, where `tenantId` is "Directory (tenant) ID".
+
+After substituting your app's "Directory (tenant) ID" in the URL, add it to your `.env` file as `AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY`.
+All together now:
+
+```bash title=".env"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT_ID="..."
+# Where `tenantId` is your app's "Directory (tenant) ID"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY="https://login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}"
+```
+
+Ok, back to [Single-page application: App registration](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-spa-app-registration).
+At the end, it says...
+
+> Next, configure the app registration with a Redirect URI to specify where the Microsoft identity platform should redirect the client along with any security tokens.
+> Use the steps appropriate for the version of MSAL.js you're using in your application:
+>
+> - MSAL.js 2.0 with auth code flow (recommended)
+> - MSAL.js 1.0 with implicit flow
+
+Redwood uses [MSAL.js 2.0 with auth code flow](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-spa-app-registration#redirect-uri-msaljs-20-with-auth-code-flow), so follow the steps there next.
+When it asks you for a Redirect URI, enter `http://localhost:8910` and `http://localhost:8910/login`, and copy these into your `.env` file as `AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_REDIRECT_URI` and `AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI`:
+
+:::tip Can't add multiple URI's?
+
+Configure one, then you'll be able to configure another.
+
+:::
+
+```bash title=".env"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT_ID="..."
+# Where `tenantId` is your app's "Directory (tenant) ID"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY="https://login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:8910"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:8910/login"
+```
+
+That's it for .env vars. Don't forget to include them in the `includeEnvironmentVariables` array in `redwood.toml`:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ # ...
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = [
+ "AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT_ID",
+ "AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY",
+ "AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_REDIRECT_URI",
+ "AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI",
+ ]
+```
+
+Now let's make sure everything works: if this is a brand new project, generate
+a home page. There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the
+`useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and
+display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```
+yarn rw g page home /
+```
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+
+ Sign Up
+
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+## Roles
+
+To add roles exposed via the `roles` claim, follow [Add app roles to your application and receive them in the token](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-add-app-roles-in-azure-ad-apps).
+
+## `logIn` Options
+
+`options` in `logIn(options?)` is of type [RedirectRequest](https://azuread.github.io/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/ref/modules/_azure_msal_browser.html#redirectrequest) and is a good place to pass in optional [scopes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference#user-permissions) to be authorized.
+By default, MSAL sets `scopes` to [/.default](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-permissions-and-consent#the-default-scope) which is built in for every application that refers to the static list of permissions configured on the application registration. Furthermore, MSAL will add `openid` and `profile` to all requests. In the example below we explicit include `User.Read.All` in the login scope.
+
+```jsx
+await logIn({
+ scopes: ['User.Read.All'], // becomes ['openid', 'profile', 'User.Read.All']
+})
+```
+
+See [loginRedirect](https://azuread.github.io/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/ref/classes/_azure_msal_browser.publicclientapplication.html#loginredirect), [PublicClientApplication](https://azuread.github.io/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/ref/classes/_azure_msal_browser.publicclientapplication.html) class and [Scopes Behavior](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/blob/dev/lib/msal-core/docs/scopes.md#scopes-behavior) for more documentation.
+
+## `getToken` Options
+
+`options` in `getToken(options?)` is of type [RedirectRequest](https://azuread.github.io/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/ref/modules/_azure_msal_browser.html#redirectrequest).
+By default, `getToken` will be called with scope `['openid', 'profile']`.
+Since Azure Active Directory applies [incremental consent](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/blob/dev/lib/msal-browser/docs/resources-and-scopes.md#dynamic-scopes-and-incremental-consent), we can extend the permissions from the login example by including another scope, for example `Mail.Read`:
+
+```js
+await getToken({
+ scopes: ['Mail.Read'], // becomes ['openid', 'profile', 'User.Read.All', 'Mail.Read']
+})
+```
+
+See [acquireTokenSilent](https://azuread.github.io/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/ref/classes/_azure_msal_browser.publicclientapplication.html#acquiretokensilent), [Resources and Scopes](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/blob/dev/lib/msal-browser/docs/resources-and-scopes.md#resources-and-scopes) or [full class documentation](https://pub.dev/documentation/msal_js/latest/msal_js/PublicClientApplication-class.html#constructors) for more.
+
+## Azure Active Directory B2C-specific configuration
+
+You can design your own auth flow with Azure Active Directory B2C using [hosted user flows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/add-sign-up-and-sign-in-policy?pivots=b2c-user-flow).
+Using it requires two extra settings.
+
+#### Update the .env file:
+
+```bash title=".env"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY=https://{your-microsoft-tenant-name}.b2clogin.com/{{your-microsoft-tenant-name}}.onmicrosoft.com/{{your-microsoft-user-flow-id}}
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_JWT_ISSUER=https://{{your-microsoft-tenant-name}}.b2clogin.com/{{your-microsoft-tenant-id}}/v2.0/
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_KNOWN_AUTHORITY=https://{{your-microsoft-tenant-name}}.b2clogin.com
+```
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```bash title=".env.example"
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY=https://rwauthtestb2c.b2clogin.com/rwauthtestb2c.onmicrosoft.com/B2C_1_signupsignin1
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_JWT_ISSUER=https://rwauthtestb2c.b2clogin.com/775527ef-8a37-4307-8b3d-cc311f58d922/v2.0/
+AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_KNOWN_AUTHORITY=https://rwauthtestb2c.b2clogin.com
+```
+
+And don't forget to add `AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_KNOWN_AUTHORITY` to the `includeEnvironmentVariables` array in `redwood.toml`.
+(`AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_JWT_ISSUER` is only used on the API side. But more importantly, it's sensitive—do *not* include it in the web side.)
+
+#### Update `activeDirectoryClient` instance
+
+This lets the MSAL web-side client know about our new B2C authority:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/auth.{js,ts}"
+const azureActiveDirectoryClient = new PublicClientApplication({
+ auth: {
+ clientId: process.env.AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT_ID,
+ authority: process.env.AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_AUTHORITY,
+ redirectUri: process.env.AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_REDIRECT_URI,
+ postLogoutRedirectUri:
+ process.env.AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI,
+ // highlight-next-line
+ knownAuthorities: [process.env.AZURE_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_KNOWN_AUTHORITY]
+ },
+})
+```
+
+Now you can call the `logIn` and `logOut` functions from `useAuth()`, and everything should just work.
+
+Here's a few more links to relevant documentation for reference:

+# Clerk Authentication
+
+:::warning Did you set up Clerk a while ago?
+
+If you set up Clerk a while ago, you may be using a deprecated `authDecoder` that's subject to rate limiting.
+This decoder will be removed in the next major.
+There's a new decoder you can use right now!
+See the [migration guide](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/releases/tag/v5.3.2) for how to upgrade.
+
+:::
+
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```text
+yarn rw setup auth clerk
+```
+
+This installs all the packages, writes all the files, and makes all the code modifications you need.
+For a detailed explanation of all the api- and web-side changes that aren't exclusive to Clerk, see the top-level [Authentication](../authentication.md) doc.
+But for now, let's focus on Clerk's side of things.
+
+If you don't have a Clerk account yet, now's the time to make one: navigate to https://clerk.dev, sign up, and create an application.
+The defaults are good enough to get us going, but feel free to configure things as you wish.
+We'll get the application's API keys from its dashboard next.
+
+:::note we'll only focus on the development instance
+
+By default, Clerk applications have two instances, "Development" and "Production".
+We'll only focus on the "Development" instance here, which is used for local development.
+When you're ready to deploy, switch the instance the dashboard is displaying by clicking "Development" in the header at the top.
+How you get your API keys to production depends on your deploy provider.
+
+:::
+
+After you create the application, you should be redirected to its dashboard where you should see the RedwoodJS logo.
+Click on it and copy the two API keys it shows into your project's `.env` file:
+
+```bash title=".env"
+CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY="..."
+CLERK_SECRET_KEY="..."
+```
+
+Lastly, in your project's `redwood.toml` file, include `CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` in the list of env vars that should be available to the web side:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ # ...
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = [
+ "CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY",
+ ]
+```
+
+That should be enough; now, things should just work.
+Let's make sure: if this is a brand new project, generate a home page:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw g page Home /
+```
+
+There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the `useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Clicking sign up should open a sign-up box and after you sign up, you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.
+
+
+## Customizing the session token
+
+There's not a lot to the default session token.
+Besides the standard claims, the only thing it really has is the user's `id`.
+Eventually, you'll want to customize it so that you can get back more information from Clerk.
+You can do so by navigating to the "Sessions" section in the nav on the left, then clicking on "Edit" in the "Customize session token" box:
+
+![clerk_customize_session_token](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/assets/32992335/6d30c616-b4d2-4b44-971b-8addf3b79e5a)
+
+As long as you're using the `clerkJwtDecoder`
+all the properties you add will be available to the `getCurrentUser` function:
+
+```ts title="api/src/lib/auth.ts"
+export const getCurrentUser = async (
+ decoded, // 👈 All the claims you add will be available on the `decoded` object
+ // ...
+) => {
+ decoded.myClaim...
+
+ // ...
+}
+````
+
+## Avoiding feature duplication
+
+Redwood's Clerk integration is based on [Clerk's React SDK](https://clerk.dev/docs/reference/clerk-react/installation).
+This means that there's some duplication between the features in the SDK and the ones in `@redwoodjs/auth-clerk-web`.
+For example, the SDK ha a `SignedOut` component that redirects a user away from a private page—very much like wrapping a route with Redwood's `Private` component.
+We recommend you use Redwood's way of doing things as much as possible since it's much more likely to get along with the rest of the framework.
+
+## Deep dive: the `ClerkStatusUpdater` component
+
+With Clerk, there's a bit more going on in the `web/src/auth.tsx` file than other auth providers.
+This is because Clerk is a bit unlike the other auth providers Redwood integrates with in that it puts an instance of its client SDK on the browser's `window` object.
+That means Redwood has to wait for it to be ready.
+With other providers, Redwood instantiates their client SDK in `web/src/auth.ts{x}`, then passes it to `createAuth`.
+With Clerk, instead Redwood uses Clerk components and hooks, like `ClerkLoaded` and `useUser`, to update Redwood's auth context with the client when it's ready.

+# Custom Authentication
+
+If Redwood doesn't officially integrate with the auth provider you want to use, you're not out of luck just yet: Redwood has an API you can use to integrate your auth provider of choice.
+
+:::tip Were you using Nhost, magic.link, GoTrue, Okta or Wallet Connect (ethereum)?
+
+If you're here because you're using one of the providers Redwood used to support (Nhost, magic.link, GoTrue, Okta or Wallet Connect (Ethereum)), we've moved the code for them out into their own separate repos:
+
+- [Nhost](https://github.com/redwoodjs/auth-nhost)
+- [magic.link](https://github.com/redwoodjs/auth-magiclink)
+- [GoTrue](https://github.com/redwoodjs/auth-gotrue)
+- [Okta](https://github.com/redwoodjs/auth-okta)
+- [WalletConnect (Ethereum)](https://github.com/redwoodjs/auth-walletconnect)
+
+The code has been updated to work with the auth APIs introduced in v4, but it's mostly untested, so no guarantee it'll work.
+But together with this doc, we hope getting one of the auth providers working won't be too difficult.
+
+:::
+
+When it comes to writing a custom auth integration, there's a little more work to do than just using one of the ready-made packages. But we'll walk you through all that work here, using [Nhost](https://nhost.io/) as an example. Hopefully you have auth up and running before too long!
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth custom
+```
+
+This makes all the code modifications it can, but whereas with other auth providers, all you have to do now is get your keys, here you have to write some code.
+
+Let's work on the web side first.
+Here most of our time will be spent in the `web/src/auth.ts` file.
+It comes commented to guide us, but we'll get into it here.
+If you're using TypeScript, scroll past the boilerplate interfaces for now to get to our first task, instantiating the client:
+
+```ts title="web/src/auth.ts"
+import { createAuthentication } from '@redwoodjs/auth'
+
+// ...
+
+// Replace this with the auth service provider client sdk
+const client = {
+ login: () => ({
+ id: 'unique-user-id',
+ email: 'email@example.com',
+ roles: [],
+ }),
+ signup: () => ({
+ id: 'unique-user-id',
+ email: 'email@example.com',
+ roles: [],
+ }),
+ logout: () => {},
+ getToken: () => 'super-secret-short-lived-token',
+ getUserMetadata: () => ({
+ id: 'unique-user-id',
+ email: 'email@example.com',
+ roles: [],
+ }),
+}
+```
+
+As the comment says, we need to replace this placeholder client object with an instance of our auth provider's client SDK.
+Since we're using Nhost, it's time to navigate to [their docs](https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript) for a bit of reading.
+We'll take all the work you have to do reading docs for granted here and cut to the chase—setting up Nhost's client looks like this:
+
+```ts
+import { NhostClient } from '@nhost/nhost-js'
+
+const client = new NhostClient({
+ backendUrl: '...'
+})
+```
+
+This means we have to install `@nhost/nhost-js` on the web side, so let's go ahead and do that:
+
+```
+yarn workspace web add @nhost/nhost-js
+```
+
+Then we'll have to make an account, an application, and get it's `backendUrl`.
+On your application's dashboard, click "Settings" at the bottom of the the nav on the left, then "Environment Variables", and look for "NHOST_BACKEND_URL".
+Copy its value into your project's `.env` file and include it in the list of env vars the web side has access to in your project's `redwood.toml` file:
+
+```bash title=".env"
+NHOST_BACKEND_URL="..."
+```
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ # ...
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = ["NHOST_BACKEND_URL"]
+```
+
+Lastly, let's update `web/src/auth.ts`:
+
+```ts title="web/src/auth.ts"
+import { createAuthentication } from '@redwoodjs/auth'
+
+import { NhostClient } from '@nhost/nhost-js'
+
+// ...
+
+const client = new NhostClient({
+ backendUrl: process.env.NHOST_BACKEND_URL
+})
+```
+
+Ok, that's it for the client.
+At this point, you could update some of the TS interfaces, but we'll leave that to you and press on with the integration.
+Now we have to create the `useAuth` hook using the client we just made so that the rest of Redwood, like the router, works.
+Scroll down a little more to the `createAuthImplementation` function:
+
+```ts title="web/src/auth.ts"
+// This is where most of the integration work will take place. You should keep
+// the shape of this object (i.e. keep all the key names) but change all the
+// values/functions to use methods from the auth service provider client sdk
+// you're integrating with
+function createAuthImplementation(client: AuthClient) {
+ return {
+ type: 'custom-auth',
+ client,
+ login: async () => client.login(),
+ logout: async () => client.logout(),
+ signup: async () => client.signup(),
+ getToken: async () => client.getToken(),
+ /**
+ * Actual user metadata might look something like this
+ * {
+ * "id": "11111111-2222-3333-4444-5555555555555",
+ * "aud": "authenticated",
+ * "role": "authenticated",
+ * "roles": ["admin"],
+ * "email": "email@example.com",
+ * "app_metadata": {
+ * "provider": "email"
+ * },
+ * "user_metadata": null,
+ * "created_at": "2016-05-15T19:53:12.368652374-07:00",
+ * "updated_at": "2016-05-15T19:53:12.368652374-07:00"
+ * }
+ */
+ getUserMetadata: async () => client.getUserMetadata(),
+ }
+}
+```
+
+This may seem like a lot, but it's actually not so bad: it's just about mapping the client's functions to these properties, many of which are pretty straightforward.
+The fact that this is eventually the `useAuth` hook is hidden a bit—`createAuthImplementation` gets passed to `createAuthentication`, which returns the `AuthProvider` component and `useAuth` hook—but you don't have to concern yourself with that here.
+
+Again, let's take all the reading and trial and error you'll have to do for granted, though it may be long and tedious:
+
+```ts title="web/src/auth.ts"
+function createAuthImplementation(client: AuthClient) {
+ return {
+ type: 'custom-auth',
+ client,
+ // See sign in options at https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript/auth/sign-in
+ login: async (options) => {
+ return await client.auth.signIn(options)
+ },
+ // See sign out options at https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript/auth/sign-out
+ logout: async (options) => {
+ return await client.auth.signOut(options)
+ },
+ // See sign up options at https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript/auth/sign-up
+ signup: async (options) => {
+ return await client.auth.signUp(options)
+ },
+ getToken: async () => {
+ return (await client.auth.getJWTToken()) || null
+ },
+ // See https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript/auth/get-user
+ getUserMetadata: async () => {
+ return await client.auth.getUser()
+ },
+ restoreAuthState: async () => {
+ return await client.auth.refreshSession()
+ },
+ }
+}
+```
+
+That's it for the web side.
+Let's head over to the api side.
+
+## api side
+
+Now that we've set up the web side, every GraphQL request includes a token.
+But without a way to verify and decode that token, the api side doesn't know what to do with it, so let's start there.
+
+In `api/src/lib/auth.ts`, make an empty function, `authDecoder`.
+Eventually we'll pass this to the `createGraphQLHandler` function in `api/src/graphql.ts`.
+The GraphQL server calls it with two arguments, the token and the type. Both are strings:
+
+```ts title="api/src/lib/auth.ts"
+export const authDecoder = async (token: string, type: string) => {
+ // decode token...
+}
+```
+
+First, let's make sure that the type is the same as the type in `createAuthImplementation`, `'custom-auth'`. If it's not, we can call it quits:
+
+```ts title="api/src/lib/auth.ts"
+export const authDecoder = async (token: string, type: string) => {
+ if (type !== 'custom-auth') {
+ return null
+ }
+
+ // decode token...
+}
+```
+
+Now let's verify and decode the token.
+We'll use the npm module [jose](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jose) to do that; it has a `jwtVerify` function that does exactly what we want.
+Go ahead and add it:
+
+```
+yarn workspace api add jose
+```
+
+For `jwtVerify` to do it's job, it needs the secret.
+Time for another trip to your Nhost application's dashboard.
+This time you're looking for "NHOST_JWT_SECRET".
+Just like "NHOST_BACKEND_URL", it should be in "Settings", "Environment Variables".
+(This one is a JSON object, with two properties, `type` and `key`. We just need `key`.)
+Add that one to your project's `.env` file (no need to put it in `redwood.toml` though):
+
+```shell title=".env"
+NHOST_JWT_SECRET="..."
+```
+
+Now we can use it in the `authDecoder`:
+
+```ts title="api/src/lib/auth.ts"
+import { jwtVerify } from 'jose'
+
+export const authDecoder = async (token: string, type: string) => {
+ if (type !== 'custom-auth') {
+ return null
+ }
+
+ const secret = new TextEncoder().encode(process.env.NHOST_JWT_SECRET)
+
+ const decoded = await jwtVerify(token, secret)
+
+ return decoded
+}
+```
+
+Great—now we've got a way of decoding the token in requests coming from the web side.
+Just one more important step that's easy to overlook: we have to pass this function to `createGraphQLHandler` in `api/src/functions/graphql.ts`:
+
+```ts title="api/src/functions/graphql.ts"
+// highlight-next-line
+import { authDecoder, getCurrentUser } from 'src/lib/auth'
+
+// ...
+
+export const handler = createGraphQLHandler({
+ // highlight-next-line
+ authDecoder,
+ getCurrentUser,
+ // ...
+})
+```
+
+That should be enough; now, things should just work.
+Let's make sure: if this is a brand new project, generate a home page.
+There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the `useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ signUp({
+ // email: 'your.email@email.com',
+ // password: 'super secret password',
+ })}>sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Nhost doesn't redirect to a hosted sign-up page or open a sign-up modal.
+In a real app, you'd build a form here, but we're going to hardcode an email and password.
+One thing you may want to do before signing up: disable email verification, else you'll actually have to verify your email.
+Go to back to "Settings" in your Nhost application, but this time click "Sign in methods".
+There should be a checkbox there, "Require Verified Emails".
+Toggle it off.
+Now try signing up and you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.

+
+# Self-hosted Authentication (dbAuth)
+
+Redwood's own **dbAuth** provides several benefits:
+
+- Use your own database for storing user credentials
+- Use your own login, signup and forgot password pages (or use Redwood's pre-built ones)
+- Customize login session length
+- No external dependencies
+- No user data ever leaves your servers
+- No additional charges/limits based on number of users
+- No third party service outages affecting your site
+
+And potentially one large drawback:
+
+- Use your own database for storing user credentials
+
+However, we're following best practices for storing these credentials:
+
+1. Users' passwords are [salted and hashed](https://auth0.com/blog/adding-salt-to-hashing-a-better-way-to-store-passwords/) with PBKDF2 before being stored
+2. Plaintext passwords are never stored anywhere, and only transferred between client and server during the login/signup phase (and hopefully only over HTTPS)
+3. Our logger scrubs sensitive parameters (like `password`) before they are output
+4. We only store the hashes of reset tokens
+
+Even if you later decide you want to let someone else handle your user data for you, dbAuth is a great option for getting up and running quickly (we even have a generator for creating basic login and signup pages for you).
+
+## How It Works
+
+dbAuth relies on good ol' fashioned cookies to determine whether a user is logged in or not. On an attempted login, a serverless function on the api-side checks whether a user exists with the given username (internally, dbAuth refers to this field as _username_ but you can use anything you want, like an email address). If a user with that username is found, does their salted and hashed password match the one in the database?
+
+If so, an [HttpOnly](https://owasp.org/www-community/HttpOnly), [Secure](https://owasp.org/www-community/controls/SecureCookieAttribute), [SameSite](https://owasp.org/www-community/SameSite) cookie (dbAuth calls this the "session cookie") is sent back to the browser containing the ID of the user. The content of the cookie is a simple string, but AES encrypted with a secret key (more on that later).
+
+When the user makes a GraphQL call, we decrypt the cookie and make sure that the user ID contained within still exists in the database. If so, the request is allowed to proceed.
+
+If there are any shenanigans detected (the cookie can't be decrypted properly, or the user ID found in the cookie does not exist in the database) the user is immediately logged out by expiring the session cookie.
+
+## Setup
+
+A single CLI command will get you everything you need to get dbAuth working, minus the actual login/signup pages:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth dbAuth
+```
+
+You will be prompted to ask if you want to enable **WebAuthn** support. WebAuthn is an open standard for allowing authentication from devices like TouchID, FaceID, USB fingerprint scanners, and more. If you think you want to use WebAuthn, enter `y` at this prompt and read on configuration options.
+
+You can also add WebAuthn to an existing dbAuth install. [Read more about WebAuthn usage and config below](#webauthn).
+
+Read the post-install instructions carefully as they contain instructions for adding database fields for the hashed password and salt, as well as how to configure the auth serverless function based on the name of the table that stores your user data. Here they are, but could change in future releases (these do not include the additional WebAuthn required options, make sure you get those from the output of the `setup` command):
+
+> You will need to add a couple of fields to your User table in order to store a hashed password and salt:
+>
+> ```
+> model User {
+> id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
+> email String @unique
+> hashedPassword String // <─┐
+> salt String // <─┼─ add these lines
+> resetToken String? // <─┤
+> resetTokenExpiresAt DateTime? // <─┘
+> }
+> ```
+>
+> If you already have existing user records you will need to provide a default value or Prisma complains, so change those to:
+>
+> ```
+> hashedPassword String @default("")
+> salt String @default("")
+> ```
+>
+> You'll need to let Redwood know what field you're using for your users' `id` and `username` fields In this case we're using `id` and `email`, so update those in the `authFields` config in `/api/src/functions/auth.js` (this is also the place to tell Redwood if you used a different name for the `hashedPassword` or `salt` fields):
+>
+> ```
+> authFields: {
+> id: 'id',
+> username: 'email',
+> hashedPassword: 'hashedPassword',
+> salt: 'salt',
+> resetToken: 'resetToken',
+> resetTokenExpiresAt: 'resetTokenExpiresAt',
+> },
+> ```
+>
+> To get the actual user that's logged in, take a look at `getCurrentUser()` in `/api/src/lib/auth.js`. We default it to something simple, but you may use different names for your model or unique ID fields, in which case you need to update those calls (instructions are in the comment above the code).
+>
+> Finally, we created a `SESSION_SECRET` environment variable for you in `.env`. This value should NOT be checked into version control and should be unique for each environment you deploy to. If you ever need to log everyone out of your app at once change this secret to a new value. To create a new secret, run:
+>
+> ```
+> yarn rw g secret
+> ```
+>
+> Need simple Login, Signup and Forgot Password pages? Of course we have a generator for those:
+>
+> ```
+> yarn rw generate dbAuth
+> ```
+
+Note that if you change the fields named `hashedPassword` and `salt`, and you have some verbose logging in your app, you'll want to scrub those fields from appearing in your logs. See the [Redaction](logger.md#redaction) docs for info.
+
+## Scaffolding Login/Signup/Forgot Password Pages
+
+If you don't want to create your own login, signup and forgot password pages from scratch we've got a generator for that:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw g dbAuth
+```
+
+Once again you will be asked if you want to create a WebAuthn-enabled version of the LoginPage. If so, enter `y` and follow the setup instructions.
+
+The default routes will make them available at `/login`, `/signup`, `/forgot-password`, and `/reset-password` but that's easy enough to change. Again, check the post-install instructions for one change you need to make to those pages: where to redirect the user to once their login/signup is successful.
+
+If you'd rather create your own, you might want to start from the generated pages anyway as they'll contain the other code you need to actually submit the login credentials or signup fields to the server for processing.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Almost all config for dbAuth lives in `api/src/functions/auth.js` in the object you give to the `DbAuthHandler` initialization. The comments above each key will explain what goes where. Here's an overview of the more important options:
+
+### allowedUserFields
+
+```javascript
+allowedUserFields: ["id", "email"]
+```
+
+Most of the auth handlers accept a `user` argument that you can reference in the body of the function. These handlers also sometimes return that `user` object. As a security measure, `allowedUserFields` defines the only properties that will be available in that object so that sensitive data isn't accidentally leaked by these handlers to the client.
+
+:::info
+
+The `signup` and `forgotPassword` handlers return to the client whatever data is returned from their handlers, which can be used to display something like the email address that a verification email was just sent to. Without `allowedUserFields` it would be very easy to include the user's `hashedPassword` and `salt` in that response (just return `user` from those handlers) and then any customer could open the Web Inspector in their browser and see those values in plain text!
+
+:::
+
+`allowedUserFields` is defaulted to `id` and `email` but you can add any property on `user` to that list.
+
+### login.enabled
+
+Allow users to call login. Defaults to true. Needs to be explicitly set to false to disable the flow.
+
+```javascript
+login: {
+ enabled: false
+}
+```
+
+### login.handler()
+
+If you want to do something other than immediately let a user log in if their username/password is correct, you can add additional logic in `login.handler()`. For example, if a user's credentials are correct, but they haven't verified their email address yet, you can throw an error in this function with the appropriate message and then display it to the user. If the login should proceed, simply return the user that was passed as the only argument to the function:
+
+```javascript
+login: {
+ handler: (user) => {
+ if (!user.verified) {
+ throw new Error('Please validate your email first!')
+ } else {
+ return user
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### signup.enabled
+
+Allow users to sign up. Defaults to true. Needs to be explicitly set to false to disable the flow.
+
+```javascript
+signup: {
+ enabled: false
+}
+```
+
+### signup.handler()
+
+This function should contain the code needed to actually create a user in your database. You will receive a single argument which is an object with all of the fields necessary to create the user (`username`, `hashedPassword` and `salt`) as well as any additional fields you included in your signup form in an object called `userAttributes`:
+
+```javascript
+signup: {
+ handler: ({ username, hashedPassword, salt, userAttributes }) => {
+ return db.user.create({
+ data: {
+ email: username,
+ hashedPassword: hashedPassword,
+ salt: salt,
+ name: userAttributes.name,
+ },
+ })
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Before `signup.handler()` is invoked, dbAuth will check that the username is unique in the database and throw an error if not.
+
+There are three things you can do within this function depending on how you want the signup to proceed:
+
+1. If everything is good and the user should be logged in after signup: return the user you just created
+2. If the user is safe to create, but you do not want to log them in automatically: return a string, which will be returned by the `signUp()` function you called after destructuring it from `useAuth()` (see code snippet below)
+3. If the user should _not_ be able to sign up for whatever reason: throw an error in this function with the message to be displayed
+
+You can deal with case #2 by doing something like the following in a signup component/page:
+
+```jsx
+const { signUp } = useAuth()
+
+const onSubmit = async (data) => {
+ const response = await signUp({ ...data })
+
+ if (response.message) {
+ toast.error(response.message) // user created, but not logged in
+ } else {
+ toast.success('Welcome!') // user created and logged in
+ navigate(routes.dashboard())
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### signup.passwordValidation()
+
+This function is used to validate that the password supplied at signup meets certain criteria (length, randomness, etc.). By default it just returns `true` which means the password is always considered valid, even if only a single character (dbAuth features built-in validation that the password is not blank, an empty string, or made up of only spaces). Modify it to enforce whatever methodology you want on the password.
+
+If the password is valid, return `true`. Otherwise, throw the `PasswordValidationError` along with a (optional) message explaining why:
+
+```javascript
+signup: {
+ passwordValidation: (password) => {
+
+ if (password.length < 8) {
+ throw new PasswordValidationError('Password must be at least 8 characters')
+ }
+
+ if (!password.match(/[A-Z]/)) {
+ throw new PasswordValidationError('Password must contain at least one capital letter')
+ }
+
+ return true
+ }
+}
+```
+
+For the best user experience you should include the same checks on the client side and avoid the roundtrip to the server altogether if the password is invalid. However, having the checks here makes sure that someone can't submit a user signup programmatically and skirt your password requirements.
+
+### forgotPassword.enabled
+
+Allow users to request a new password via a call to `forgotPassword`. Defaults to true. Needs to be explicitly set to false to disable the flow.
+When disabling this flow you probably want to disable `resetPassword` as well.
+
+```javascript
+forgotPassword: {
+ enabled: false
+}
+```
+
+### forgotPassword.handler()
+
+This handler is invoked if a user is found with the username/email that they submitted on the Forgot Password page, and that user will be passed as an argument. Inside this function is where you'll send the user a link to reset their password—via an email is most common. The link will, by default, look like:
+
+```
+https://example.com/reset-password?resetToken=${user.resetToken}
+```
+
+If you changed the path to the Reset Password page in your routes you'll need to change it here. If you used another name for the `resetToken` database field, you'll need to change that here as well:
+
+```
+https://example.com/reset-password?resetKey=${user.resetKey}
+```
+
+> Note that although the user table contains a hash of `resetToken`, only for the handler, `user.resetToken` will contain the raw `resetToken` to use for generating a password reset link.
+
+### resetPassword.enabled
+
+Allow users to reset their password via a code from a call to `forgotPassword`. Defaults to true. Needs to be explicitly set to false to disable the flow.
+When disabling this flow you probably want to disable `forgotPassword` as well.
+
+```javascript
+resetPassword: {
+ enabled: false
+}
+```
+
+### resetPassword.handler()
+
+This handler is invoked after the password has been successfully changed in the database. Returning something truthy (like `return user`) will automatically log the user in after their password is changed. If you'd like to return them to the login page and make them log in manually, `return false` and redirect the user in the Reset Password page.
+
+### usernameMatch
+
+This configuration allows you to perform a case insensitive check on a username at the point of db check. You will need to provide the configuration of your choice for both signup and login.
+
+```javascript
+signup: {
+ usernameMatch: 'insensitive'
+}
+```
+
+```javascript
+login: {
+ usernameMatch: 'insensitive'
+}
+```
+
+By default no setting is required. This is because each db has its own rules for enabling this feature. To enable please see the table below and pick the correct 'userMatchString' for your db of choice.
+
+| DB | Default | usernameMatchString | notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Postgres | 'default' | 'insensitive' | |
+| MySQL | 'case-insensitive' | N/A | turned on by default so no setting required |
+| MongoDB | 'default' | 'insensitive' |
+| SQLite | N/A | N/A | [Not Supported] Insensitive checks can only be defined at a per column level |
+| Microsoft SQL Server | 'case-insensitive' | N/A | turned on by default so no setting required |
+
+### Cookie config
+
+These options determine how the cookie that tracks whether the client is authorized is stored in the browser. The default configuration should work for most use cases. If you serve your web and api sides from different domains you'll need to make some changes: set `SameSite` to `None` and then add [CORS configuration](#cors-config).
+
+```javascript
+cookie: {
+ HttpOnly: true,
+ Path: '/',
+ SameSite: 'Strict',
+ Secure: true,
+ // Domain: 'example.com',
+}
+```
+
+### CORS config
+
+If you're using dbAuth and your api and web sides are deployed to different domains then you'll need to configure CORS for both GraphQL in general and dbAuth. You'll also need to enable a couple of options to be sure and send/accept credentials in XHR requests. For more info, see the complete [CORS doc](cors.md#cors-and-authentication).
+
+### Error Messages
+
+There are several error messages that can be displayed, including:
+
+- Username/email not found
+- Incorrect password
+- Expired reset password token
+
+We've got some default error messages that sound nice, but may not fit the tone of your site. You can customize these error messages in `api/src/functions/auth.js` in the `errors` prop of each of the `login`, `signup`, `forgotPassword` and `resetPassword` config objects. The generated file contains tons of comments explaining when each particular error message may be shown.
+
+### WebAuthn Config
+
+See [WebAuthn Configuration](#function-config) section below.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Cookie Domain
+
+By default, the session cookie will not have the `Domain` property set, which a browser will default to be the [current domain only](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#define_where_cookies_are_sent). If your site is spread across multiple domains (for example, your site is at `example.com` but your api-side is deployed to `api.example.com`) you'll need to explicitly set a Domain so that the cookie is accessible to both.
+
+To do this, set the `cookie.Domain` property in your `api/src/functions/auth.js` configuration, set to the root domain of your site, which will allow it to be read by all subdomains as well. For example:
+
+```json title="api/src/functions/auth.js"
+cookie: {
+ HttpOnly: true,
+ Path: '/',
+ SameSite: 'Strict',
+ Secure: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development' ? true : false,
+ Domain: 'example.com'
+}
+```
+
+### Session Secret Key
+
+If you need to change the secret key that's used to encrypt the session cookie, or deploy to a new target (each deploy environment should have its own unique secret key) we've got a CLI tool for creating a new one:
+
+```
+yarn rw g secret
+```
+
+Note that the secret that's output is _not_ appended to your `.env` file or anything else, it's merely output to the screen. You'll need to put it in the right place after that.
+
+:::warning .env and Version Control
+
+The `.env` file is set to be ignored by git and not committed to version control. There is another file, `.env.defaults`, which is meant to be safe to commit and contain simple ENV vars that your dev team can share. The encryption key for the session cookie is NOT one of these shareable vars!
+
+:::
+
+## WebAuthn
+
+[WebAuthn](https://webauthn.guide/) is a specification written by the W3C and FIDO with participation from Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, and others. It defines a standard way to use public key cryptography instead of a password to authenticate users.
+
+That's a very technical way of saying: users can log in with [TouchID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_ID), [FaceID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_ID), [Windows Hello](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learn-about-windows-hello-and-set-it-up-dae28983-8242-bb2a-d3d1-87c9d265a5f0), [Yubikey](https://www.yubico.com/), and more.
+
+
+
+We'll refer to whatever biometric device that's used as simply a "device" below. The WebAuthn flow includes two "phases":
+
+1. **Registration**: the first time a new device is added for a user (a user can have multiple devices registered)
+2. **Authentication**: the device is recognized and can be used to login on subsequent visits
+
+### User Experience
+
+The `LoginPage` generated by Redwood includes two new prompts on the login page, depending on the state of the user and whether they have registered their device yet or not:
+
+**Registration**
+
+The user is prompted to login with username/password:
+
+
+
+Then asked if they want to enable WebAuthn:
+
+
+
+If so, they are shown the browser's prompt to scan:
+
+
+
+If they skip, they just proceed into the site as usual. If they log out and back in, they will be prompted to enable WebAuthn again.
+
+**Authentication**
+
+When a device is already registered then it can be used to skip username/password login. The user is immediately shown the prompt to scan when they land on the login page (if the prompt doesn't show, or they mistakenly cancel it, they can click "Open Authenticator" to show the prompt again)
+
+
+
+They can also choose to go to use username/password credentials instead of their registered device.
+
+### How it Works
+
+The back and forth between the web and api sides works like this:
+
+**Registration**
+
+1. If the user selects to enable their device, a request is made to the server for "registration options" which is a JSON object containing details about the server and user (domain, username).
+2. Your app receives that data and then makes a browser API call that says to start the biometric reader with the received options
+3. The user scans their fingerprint/face and the browser API returns an ID representing this device, a public key and a few other fields for validation on the server
+4. The ID, public key, and additional details are sent to the server to be verified. Assuming the are, the device is saved to the database in a `UserCredential` table (you can change the name if you want). The server responds by placing a cookie on the user's browser with the device ID (a random string of letters and numbers)
+
+A similar process takes place when authenticating:
+
+**Authentication**
+
+1. If the cookie from the previous process is present, the web side knows that the user has a registered device so a request is made to the server to get "authentication options"
+2. The server looks up user who's credential ID is in the cookie and gets a list of all of the devices they have registered in the past. This is included along with the domain and username
+3. The web side receives the options from the server and a browser API call is made. The browser first checks to see if the list of devices from the server includes the current device. If so, it prompts the user to scan their fingerprint/face (if the device is not in the list, the user will directed back to username/password signup)
+4. The ID, public key, user details and a signature are sent to the server and checked to make sure the signature contains the expected data encrypted with the public key. If so, the regular login cookie is set (the same as if the user had used username/password login)
+
+In both cases, actual scanning and matching of devices is handled by the operating system: all we care about is that we are given a credential ID and a public key back from the device.
+
+### Browser Support
+
+WebAuthn is supported in the following browsers (as of July 2022):
+
+| OS | Browser | Authenticator |
+| ------- | ------- | ------------- |
+| macOS | Firefox | Yubikey Security Key NFC (USB), Yubikey 5Ci, SoloKey |
+| macOS | Chrome | Touch ID, Yubikey Security Key NFC (USB), Yubikey 5Ci, SoloKey |
+| iOS | All | Face ID, Touch ID, Yubikey Security Key NFC (NFC), Yubikey 5Ci |
+| Android | Chrome | Fingerprint Scanner, caBLE |
+| Android | Firefox | Screen PIN |
+
+### Configuration
+
+WebAuthn support requires a few updates to your codebase:
+
+1. Adding a `UserCredential` model
+2. Adding configuration options in `api/src/functions/auth.js`
+3. Adding a `client` to the `` in `App.js`
+4. Adding an interface during the login process that prompts the user to enable their device
+
+:::info
+If you setup dbAuth and generated the LoginPage with WebAuthn support then all of these steps have already been done for you! As described in the post-setup instructions you just need to add the required fields to your `User` model, create a `UserCredential` model, and you're ready to go!
+
+If you didn't setup WebAuthn at first, but decided you now want WebAuthn, you could run the setup and generator commands again with the `--force` flag to overwrite your existing files. Any changes you made will be overwritten, but if you do a quick diff in git you should be able to port over most of your changes.
+:::
+
+### Schema Updates
+
+You'll need to add two fields to your `User` model, and a new `UserCredential` model to store the devices that are used and associate them with a user:
+
+```javascript title="api/db/schema.prisma"
+datasource db {
+ provider = "sqlite"
+ url = env("DATABASE_URL")
+}
+
+generator client {
+ provider = "prisma-client-js"
+ binaryTargets = "native"
+}
+
+model User {
+ id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
+ email String @unique
+ hashedPassword String
+ salt String
+ resetToken String?
+ resetTokenExpiresAt DateTime?
+ // highlight-start
+ webAuthnChallenge String? @unique
+ credentials UserCredential[]
+ // highlight-end
+}
+
+// highlight-start
+model UserCredential {
+ id String @id
+ userId Int
+ user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
+ publicKey Bytes
+ transports String?
+ counter BigInt
+}
+// highlight-end
+```
+
+Run `yarn rw prisma migrate dev` to apply the changes to your database.
+
+:::warning Do Not Allow GraphQL Access to `UserCredential`
+
+As you can probably tell by the name, this new model contains secret credential info for the user. You **should not** make this data publicly available by adding an SDL file to `api/src/graphql`.
+
+Also: if you (re)generate the SDL for your `User` model, the generator will happily include the `credentials` relationship, assuming you want to allow access to that data (it does this automatically for all relaionships). This will result in an error and warning message in the console from the API server when it tries to read the new SDL file: the `User` SDL refers to a `UserCredential` type, which does not exist (there's no `userCredential.sdl.js` file to define it).
+
+If you see this notice after (re)generating, simply remove the following line from the `User` SDL:
+
+```
+credentials: [UserCredential]!
+```
+
+:::
+
+### Function Config
+
+Next we need to let dbAuth know about the new field and model names, as well as how you want WebAuthn to behave (see the highlighted section)
+
+```javascript title="api/src/functions/auth.js"
+import { db } from 'src/lib/db'
+import { DbAuthHandler } from '@redwoodjs/api'
+
+export const handler = async (event, context) => {
+
+ // assorted handler config here...
+
+ const authHandler = new DbAuthHandler(event, context, {
+ db: db,
+ authModelAccessor: 'user',
+ // highlight-start
+ credentialModelAccessor: 'userCredential',
+ // highlight-end
+ authFields: {
+ id: 'id',
+ username: 'email',
+ hashedPassword: 'hashedPassword',
+ salt: 'salt',
+ resetToken: 'resetToken',
+ resetTokenExpiresAt: 'resetTokenExpiresAt',
+ // highlight-start
+ challenge: 'webAuthnChallenge',
+ // highlight-end
+ },
+
+ cookie: {
+ HttpOnly: true,
+ Path: '/',
+ SameSite: 'Strict',
+ Secure: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development' ? true : false,
+ },
+
+ forgotPassword: forgotPasswordOptions,
+ login: loginOptions,
+ resetPassword: resetPasswordOptions,
+ signup: signupOptions,
+
+ // highlight-start
+ webAuthn: {
+ enabled: true,
+ expires: 60 * 60 * 14,
+ name: 'Webauthn Test',
+ domain:
+ process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? 'localhost' : 'server.com',
+ origin:
+ process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
+ ? 'http://localhost:8910'
+ : 'https://server.com',
+ type: 'platform',
+ timeout: 60000,
+ credentialFields: {
+ id: 'id',
+ userId: 'userId',
+ publicKey: 'publicKey',
+ transports: 'transports',
+ counter: 'counter',
+ },
+ },
+ // highlight-end
+ })
+
+ return await authHandler.invoke()
+}
+```
+
+- `credentialModelAccessor` specifies the name of the accessor that you call to access the model you created to store credentials. If your model name is `UserCredential` then this field would be `userCredential` as that's how Prisma's naming conventions work.
+- `authFields.challenge` specifies the name of the field in the user model that will hold the WebAuthn challenge string. This string is generated automatically whenever a WebAuthn registration or authentication request starts and is one more verification that the browser request came from this user. A user can only have one WebAuthn request/response cycle going at a time, meaning that they can't open a desktop browser, get the TouchID prompt, then switch to iOS Safari to use FaceID, then return to the desktop to scan their fingerprint. The most recent WebAuthn request will clobber any previous one that's in progress.
+- `webAuthn.enabled` is a boolean, denoting whether the server should respond to webAuthn requests. If you decide to stop using WebAuthn, you'll want to turn it off here as well as update the LoginPage to stop prompting.
+- `webAuthn.expires` is the number of seconds that a user will be allowed to keep using their fingerprint/face scan to re-authenticate into your site. Once this value expires, the user _must_ use their username/password to authenticate the next time, and then WebAuthn will be re-enabled (again, for this length of time). For security, you may want to log users out of your app after an hour of inactivity, but allow them to easily use their fingerprint/face to re-authenticate for the next two weeks (this is similar to login on macOS where your TouchID session expires after a couple of days of inactivity). In this example you would set `login.expires` to `60 * 60` and `webAuthn.expires` to `60 * 60 * 24 * 14`.
+- `webAuthn.name` is the name of the app that will show in some browser's prompts to use the device
+- `webAuthn.domain` is the name of domain making the request. This is just the domain part of the URL, ex: `app.server.com`, or in development mode `localhost`
+- `webAuthn.origin` is the domain _including_ the protocol and port that the request is coming from, ex: [https://app.server.com](https://app.server.com) In development mode, this would be `http://localhost:8910`
+- `webAuthn.type`: the type of device that's allowed to be used (see [next section below](#webauthn-type-option))
+- `webAuthn.timeout`: how long to wait for a device to be used in milliseconds (defaults to 60 seconds)
+- `webAuthn.credentialFields`: lists the expected field names that dbAuth uses internally mapped to what they're actually called in your model. This includes 5 fields total: `id`, `userId`, `publicKey`, `transports`, `counter`.
+
+### WebAuthn `type` Option
+
+The config option `webAuthn.type` can be set to `any`, `platform` or `cross-platform`:
+
+- `platform` means to _only_ allow embedded devices (TouchID, FaceID, Windows Hello) to be used
+- `cross-platform` means to _only_ allow third party devices (like a Yubikey USB fingerprint reader)
+- `any` means to allow both platform and cross-platform devices
+
+In some browsers this can lead to a pretty drastic UX difference. For example, here is the interface in Chrome on macOS with the included TouchID sensor on a Macbook Pro:
+
+#### **any**
+
+
+
+If you pick "Add a new Android Phone" you're presented with a QR code:
+
+
+
+If you pick "USB Security Key" you're given the chance to scan your fingerprint in a 3rd party USB device:
+
+
+
+And finally if you pick "This device" you're presented with the standard interface you'd get if used `platform` as your type:
+
+
+
+You'll have to decide if this UX tradeoff is worth it for your customers, as it can be pretty confusing when first presented with all of these options when someone is just used to using TouchID or FaceID.
+
+#### **platform**
+
+The `platform` option provides the simplest UI and one that users with a TouchID or FaceID will be immediately familiar with:
+
+
+
+Note that you can also fallback to use your user account password (on the computer itself) in addition to TouchID:
+
+
+
+Both the password and TouchID scan will count as the same device, so users can alternate between them if they want.
+
+#### **cross-platform**
+
+This interface is the same as `any`, but without the option to pick "This device":
+
+
+
+So while the `any` option is the most flexible, it's also the most confusing to users. If you do plan on allowing any device, you may want to do a user-agent check and try to explain to users what the different options actually mean.
+
+The api-side is now ready to go.
+
+### App.js Updates
+
+If you generated your login/signup pages with `yarn rw g dbAuth --webauthn` then all of these changes are in place and you can start using WebAuthn right away! Otherwise, read on.
+
+First you'll need to import the `WebAuthnClient` and give it to the `` component:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/App.js"
+import { AuthProvider } from '@redwoodjs/auth'
+// highlight-start
+import WebAuthnClient from '@redwoodjs/auth-dbauth-web/webAuthn'
+// highlight-end
+import { FatalErrorBoundary, RedwoodProvider } from '@redwoodjs/web'
+import { RedwoodApolloProvider } from '@redwoodjs/web/apollo'
+
+import FatalErrorPage from 'src/pages/FatalErrorPage'
+import Routes from 'src/Routes'
+
+import './scaffold.css'
+import './index.css'
+
+const App = () => (
+
+
+ // highlight-start
+
+ // highlight-end
+
+
+
+
+
+
+)
+
+export default App
+```
+
+Now you're ready to access the functionality added by the WebAuthn client. The easiest way to do this would be to generate a new `LoginPage` with `yarn rw g dbAuth --webauthn`, even if it's in a brand new, throwaway app, and copy the pieces you need (or just replace your existing login page with it).
+
+The gist of building a login flow is that you now need to stop after username/password authentication and, if the browser supports WebAuthn, give the user the chance to register their device. If they come to the login page and already have the `webAuthn` cookie then you can show the prompt to authenticate, skipping the username/password form completely. This is all handled in the LoginPage template that Redwood generates for you.
+
+### WebAuthn Client API
+
+The `client` that we gave to the `AuthProvider` can be destructured from `useAuth()`:
+
+```javascript
+const { isAuthenticated, client, logIn } = useAuth()
+```
+
+`client` gives you access to four functions for working with WebAuthn:
+
+- `client.isSupported()`: returns a Promise which resolves to a boolean—whether or not WebAuthn is supported in the current browser browser
+- `client.isEnabled()`: returns a boolean for whether the user currently has a `webAuthn` cookie, which means this device has been registered already and can be used for login
+- `client.register()`: returns a Promise which gets options from the server, presents the prompt to scan your fingerprint/face, and then sends the result up to the server. It will either resolve successfully with an object `{ verified: true }` or throw an error. This function is used when the user has not registered this device yet (`client.isEnabled()` returns `false`).
+- `client.authenticate()`: returns a Promise which gets options from the server, presents the prompt to scan the user's fingerprint/face, and then sends the result up to the server. It will either resolve successfully with an object `{ verified: true }` or throw an error. This should be used when the user has already registered this device (`client.isEnabled()` returns `true`)

+# Firebase Authentication
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth firebase
+```
+
+This installs all the packages, writes all the files, and makes all the code modifications you need.
+For a detailed explanation of all the api- and web-side changes that aren't exclusive to Firebase, see the top-level [Authentication](../authentication.md) doc.
+For now, let's focus on Firebase's side of things.
+
+If you don't have a Firebase account yet, now's the time to make one: navigate to https://firebase.google.com and click "Go to console", sign up, and create a project.
+After it's ready, we'll get the API keys.
+
+To get the API keys, we need to add a web app to our project.
+Click the `>` icon in main call to action on the dashboard—"Get started by adding Firebase to your app".
+Give your app a nickname, then you should see the API keys.
+Since we're only using Firebase for auth, we only need `apiKey`, `authDomain`, and `projectId`.
+Copy them into your project's `.env` file:
+
+```bash title=".env"
+FIREBASE_API_KEY="..."
+FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN="..."
+FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID="..."
+```
+
+Lastly, include `FIREBASE_API_KEY` and `FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN` in the list of env vars that should be available to the web side (`FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID` is for the api side):
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ # ...
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = ["FIREBASE_API_KEY", "FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN"]
+```
+
+We've hooked up our Firebase app to our Redwood app, but if you try it now, it won't work.
+That's because we haven't actually enabled auth in our Firebase app yet.
+
+Back to the dashboard one more time: in the nav on the left, click "Build", "Authentication", and "Get started".
+We're going to go with "Email/Password" here, but feel free to configure things as you wish.
+Click "Email/Password", enable it, and click "Save".
+
+That should be enough; now, things should just work.
+Let's make sure: if this is a brand new project, generate a home page.
+There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the `useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ signUp({
+ // email: 'your.email@email.com',
+ // password: 'super secret password',
+ })}>sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+"Email/Password" says what it means: Firebase doesn't redirect to a hosted sign-up page or open a sign-up modal.
+In a real app, you'd build a form here, but we're going to hardcode an email and password.
+After you sign up, you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.

+# Netlify Identity Authentication
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth netlify
+```
+
+This installs all the packages, writes all the files, and makes all the code modifications you need.
+For a detailed explanation of all the api- and web-side changes that aren't exclusive to Netlify Identity, see the top-level [Authentication](../authentication.md) doc.
+For now let's focus on Netlify's side of things.
+
+There's a catch with Netlify Identity: your app has to be be deployed to Netlify to use it.
+If this's a deal breaker for you, there are [other great auth providers to choose from](../authentication.md#official-integrations).
+But here we'll assume it's not and that your app is already deployed.
+(If it isn't, do that first, then come back. And yes, there's a setup command for that: `yarn rw setup deploy netlify`.)
+
+Once you've deployed your app, go to it's overview, click "Integrations" in the nav at the top, search for Netlify Identity, enable it, and copy the API endpoint in the Identity card.
+(It should look something like `https://my-redwood-app.netlify.app/.netlify/identity`.)
+
+Let's do one more thing while we're here to make signing up later a little easier.
+Right now, if we sign up, we'll have to verify our email address.
+Let's forego that feature for the purposes of this doc: click "Settings and usage", then scroll down to "Emails" and look for "Confirmation template".
+Click "Edit settings", tick the box next to "Allow users to sign up without verifying their email address", and click "Save".
+
+Netlify Identity works a little differently than the other auth providers in that you don't have to copy API keys to your project's `.env` and `redwood.toml` files.
+Instead, the first time you use it (by, say, calling `signUp` from `useAuth`), it'll ask you for your app's API endpoint.
+So let's go ahead and use it: if this is a brand new project, generate a home page.
+There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the `useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```
+yarn rw g page home /
+```
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Clicking sign up should open a modal; paste the API endpoint you copied earlier there:
+
+
+
+After that, you should see a sign-up modal. Go ahead and sign up:
+
+
+
+After you sign up, you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.

+# Supabase Authentication
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth supabase
+```
+
+This installs all the packages, writes all the files, and makes all the code modifications you need.
+For a detailed explanation of all the api- and web-side changes that aren't exclusive to Supabase, see the top-level [Authentication](../authentication.md) doc. For now, let's focus on Supabase's side of things.
+
+## Setup
+
+If you don't have a Supabase account yet, now's the time to make one: navigate to https://supabase.com and click "Start your project" in the top right. Then sign up and create an organization and a project.
+
+While Supabase creates your project, it thoughtfully shows your project's API keys.
+(If the page refreshes while you're copying them over, just scroll down a bit and look for "Connecting to your new project".)
+We're looking for "Project URL" and "API key" (the `anon`, `public` one).
+Copy them into your project's `.env` file as `SUPABASE_URL` and `SUPABASE_KEY` respectively.
+
+There's one more we need, the "JWT Secret", that's not here.
+To get that one, click the cog icon ("Project Settings") near the bottom of the nav on the left.
+Then click "API", scroll down a bit, and you should see it—"JWT Secret" under "JWT Settings".
+Copy it into your project's `.env` file as `SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET`.
+All together now:
+
+```bash title=".env"
+SUPABASE_URL="..."
+SUPABASE_KEY="..."
+SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET="..."
+```
+
+Lastly, in `redwood.toml`, include `SUPABASE_URL` and `SUPABASE_KEY` in the list of env vars that should be available to the web side:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ # ...
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = ["SUPABASE_URL", "SUPABASE_KEY"]
+```
+
+## Authentication UI
+
+Supabase doesn't redirect to a hosted sign-up page or open a sign-up modal.
+In a real app, you'd build a form here, but we're going to hardcode an email and password.
+
+### Basic Example
+
+After you sign up, head to your inbox: there should be a confirmation email from Supabase waiting for you.
+
+Click the link, then head back to your app.
+Once you refresh the page, you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.
+
+
+Let's make sure: if this is a brand new project, generate a home page.
+
+There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the `useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ signUp({
+ email: 'your.email@email.com',
+ password: 'super secret password',
+ })}>sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+```
+
+## Authentication Reference
+
+You will notice that [Supabase Javascript SDK Auth API](https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/auth-api) reference documentation presents methods to sign in with the various integrations Supabase supports: password, OAuth, IDToken, SSO, etc.
+
+The RedwoodJS implementation of Supabase authentication supports these as well, but within the `logIn` method of the `useAuth` hook.
+
+That means that you will see that Supabase documents sign in with email password as:
+
+```ts
+const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({
+ email: 'example@email.com',
+ password: 'example-password',
+})
+```
+
+In RedwoodJS, you will always use `logIn` and pass the necessary credential options and also an `authMethod` to declare how you want to authenticate.
+
+```ts
+const { logIn } = useAuth()
+
+await logIn({
+ authMethod: 'password',
+ email: 'example@email.com',
+ password: 'example-password',
+})
+```
+
+### Sign Up with email and password
+
+Creates a new user.
+
+```ts
+const { signUp } = useAuth()
+
+await signUp({
+ email: 'example@email.com',
+ password: 'example-password',
+})
+```
+
+### Sign Up with email and password and additional user metadata
+
+Creates a new user with additional user metadata.
+
+```ts
+const { signUp } = useAuth()
+
+await signUp({
+email: 'example@email.com',
+ password: 'example-password',
+ options: {
+ data: {
+ first_name: 'John',
+ age: 27,
+ }
+ }
+})
+```
+
+### Sign Up with email and password and a redirect URL
+
+Creates a new user with a redirect URL.
+
+```ts
+const { signUp } = useAuth()
+
+await signUp({
+email: 'example@email.com',
+ password: 'example-password',
+ options: {
+ emailRedirectTo: 'https://example.com/welcome'
+ }
+})
+```
+
+### Sign in a user with email and password
+
+Log in an existing user with an email and password or phone and password.
+
+* Requires either an email and password or a phone number and password.
+
+```ts
+const { logIn } = useAuth()
+
+await logIn({
+ authMethod: 'password',
+ email: 'example@email.com',
+ password: 'example-password',
+})
+```
+
+### Sign in a user through Passwordless/OTP
+
+Log in a user using magiclink or a one-time password (OTP).
+
+* Requires either an email or phone number.
+
+* This method is used for passwordless sign-ins where a OTP is sent to the user's email or phone number.
+
+```ts
+const { logIn } = useAuth()
+
+await logIn({
+ authMethod: 'otp',
+ email: 'example@email.com',
+ options: {
+ emailRedirectTo: 'https://example.com/welcome'
+ }
+})
+```
+
+### Sign in a user through OAuth
+
+Log in an existing user via a third-party provider.
+
+* This method is used for signing in using a third-party provider.
+
+* Supabase supports many different [third-party providers](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth#providers).
+
+```ts
+const { logIn } = useAuth()
+
+await logIn({
+ authMethod: 'oauth',
+ provider: 'github',
+})
+```
+
+### Sign in a user with IDToken
+
+Log in a user using IDToken.
+
+```ts
+const { logIn } = useAuth()
+
+await logIn({
+ authMethod: 'id_token',
+ provider: 'apple',
+ token: 'cortland-apple-id-token',
+})
+```
+
+### Sign in a user with SSO
+
+Log in a user using IDToken.
+
+```ts
+const { logIn } = useAuth()
+
+await logIn({
+ authMethod: 'sso',
+ providerId: 'sso-provider-identity-uuid',
+ domain: 'example.com',
+})
+```
+
+### Get Current User
+
+Gets the content of the current user set by API side authentication.
+
+```ts
+const { currentUser } = useAuth()
+
+{JSON.stringify({ currentUser })}
+```
+
+### Get Current User Metadata
+
+Gets content of the current Supabase user session, i.e., `auth.getSession()`.
+
+```ts
+const { userMetadata } = useAuth()
+
+{JSON.stringify({ userMetadata })}
+```
+
+### Sign out a user
+
+Inside a browser context, signOut() will remove the logged in user from the browser session and log them out - removing all items from localStorage and then trigger a "SIGNED_OUT" event.
+
+In order to use the signOut() method, the user needs to be signed in first.
+
+```ts
+const { logOut } = useAuth()
+
+logOut()
+```
+
+### Verify and log in through OTP
+
+Log in a user given a User supplied OTP received via mobile.
+
+* The verifyOtp method takes in different verification types. If a phone number is used, the type can either be sms or phone_change. If an email address is used, the type can be one of the following: signup, magiclink, recovery, invite or email_change.
+
+* The verification type used should be determined based on the corresponding auth method called before verifyOtp to sign up / sign-in a user.
+
+
+The RedwoodJS auth provider doesn't expose the `veriftyOtp` method from the Supabase SDK directly.
+
+Instead, since you always have access the the Supabase Auth client, you can access any method it exposes.
+
+So, in order to use the `verifyOtp` method, you would:
+
+```ts
+const { client } = useAuth()
+
+useEffect(() => {
+ const { data, error } = await client.verifyOtp({ phone, token, type: 'sms'})
+}, [client])
+```
+
+### Access the Supabase Auth Client
+
+Sometimes you may need to access the Supabase Auth client directly.
+
+```ts
+const { client } = useAuth()
+```
+
+You can then use it to work with Supabase sessions, or auth events.
+
+When using in a React component, you'll have to put any method that needs an `await` in a `useEffect()`.
+
+### Retrieve a session
+
+Returns the session, refreshing it if necessary. The session returned can be null if the session is not detected which can happen in the event a user is not signed-in or has logged out.
+
+```ts
+const { client } = useAuth()
+
+useEffect(() => {
+ const { data, error } = await client.getSession()
+}, [client])
+```
+
+### Listen to auth events
+
+Receive a notification every time an auth event happens.
+
+* Types of auth events: `SIGNED_IN`, `SIGNED_OUT`, `TOKEN_REFRESHED`, `USER_UPDATED`, `PASSWORD_RECOVERY`
+
+```ts
+const { client } = useAuth()
+
+useEffect(() => {
+ const { data: { subscription } } = client.onAuthStateChange((event, session) => {
+ console.log(event, session)
+ })
+
+ return () => {
+ subscription.unsubscribe()
+ }
+}, [client])
+```

+# SuperTokens Authentication
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup auth supertokens
+```
+
+This installs all the packages, writes all the files, and makes all the code modifications you need.
+
+:::info
+
+You may have noticed that in `api/src/functions/auth.ts` there's an import from `'supertokens-node/framework/awsLambda'`. This is fine, even if your app isn't running in a serverless environment like AWS Lambda. In "serverful" environments, Redwood automatically handles the translation between Fastify's request and reply objects and functions' AWS Lambda signature.
+
+:::
+
+For a detailed explanation of all the api- and web-side changes that aren't exclusive to SuperTokens, see the top-level [Authentication](../authentication.md) doc.
+For now, let's focus on SuperTokens's side of things.
+
+When you run the setup command it configures your app to support both email+password logins as well as social auth logins (Apple, GitHub and Google). Working with those social auth logins does require quite a few environment variables. And SuperTokens itself needs a couple variables too. Thankfully SuperTokens makes this very easy to setup as they provide values we can use for testing.
+
+# Environment variables
+
+The environment variables have to be added either to your project's `.env` file (when running in development environment), or to the environment variables of your hosting provider (when running in production).
+
+## Base setup
+
+```bash
+SUPERTOKENS_APP_NAME="Redwoodjs App" # this will be used in the email template for password reset or email verification emails.
+SUPERTOKENS_JWKS_URL=http://localhost:8910/.redwood/functions/auth/jwt/jwks.json
+SUPERTOKENS_CONNECTION_URI=https://try.supertokens.io # set to the correct connection uri
+```
+
+## Production setup
+
+Assuming that your web side is hosted on `https://myapp.com`:
+
+```bash
+SUPERTOKENS_WEBSITE_DOMAIN=https://myapp.com
+SUPERTOKENS_JWKS_URL=https://myapp.com/.redwood/functions/auth/jwt/jwks.json
+```
+
+## Managed Supertokens service setup
+
+```bash
+SUPERTOKENS_API_KEY=your-api-key # The value can be omitted when self-hosting Supertokens
+```
+
+## Social login setup
+The following environment variables have to be set up (depending on the social login options):
+
+```bash
+SUPERTOKENS_APPLE_CLIENT_ID=4398792-io.supertokens.example.service
+SUPERTOKENS_APPLE_SECRET_KEY_ID=7M48Y4RYDL
+SUPERTOKENS_APPLE_SECRET_PRIVATE_KEY=-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIGTAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBHkwdwIBAQQgu8gXs+XYkqXD6Ala9Sf/iJXzhbwcoG5dMh1OonpdJUmgCgYIKoZIzj0DAQehRANCAASfrvlFbFCYqn3I2zeknYXLwtH30JuOKestDbSfZYxZNMqhF/OzdZFTV0zc5u5s3eN+oCWbnvl0hM+9IW0UlkdA\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

+SUPERTOKENS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=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
+```
+
+## `redwood.toml` setup
+
+Make sure to modify `redwood.toml` to pass the required environment variables to the web side:
+
+```toml
+[web]
+...
+includeEnvironmentVariables = [
+ 'SUPERTOKENS_WEBSITE_DOMAIN',
+ 'SUPERTOKENS_API_DOMAIN',
+ 'SUPERTOKENS_API_GATEWAY_PATH',
+ 'SUPERTOKENS_APP_NAME'
+]
+```
+
+
+# Page setup
+
+Let's make sure: if this is a brand new project, generate a home page.
+There we'll try to sign up by destructuring `signUp` from the `useAuth` hook (import that from `'src/auth'`). We'll also destructure and display `isAuthenticated` to see if it worked:
+
+```
+yarn rw g page home /
+```
+
+```tsx title="web/src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
+import { useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ const { isAuthenticated, signUp } = useAuth()
+
+ return (
+ <>
+ {/* MetaTags, h1, paragraphs, etc. */}
+
+ {JSON.stringify({ isAuthenticated })}
+ sign up
+ >
+ )
+}
+
+export default HomePage
+```
+
+Clicking sign up should navigate you to `/auth` where SuperToken's default login/sign up UI is rendered.
+
+
+
+After you sign up, you should be redirected back to your Redwood app, and you should see `{"isAuthenticated":true}` on the page.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If going to `http://localhost:8910/auth` results in the plain Javascript file being served instead of the expected auth page, rename the `web/src/auth.tsx` file to `web/src/authentication.tsx`, and update the imports (related to https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues/9740).

+description: Set up an authentication provider
+---
+
+# Authentication
+
+Redwood has integrated auth end to end, from the web side to the api side.
+On the web side, the router can protect pages via the `PrivateSet` component, and even restrict access at the role-level.
+And if you'd prefer to work with the primitives, the `useAuth` hook exposes all the pieces to build the experience you want.
+
+Likewise, the api side is locked down by default: all SDLs are generated with the `@requireAuth` directive, ensuring that making things publicly available is something that you opt in to rather than out of.
+You can also require auth anywhere in your Services, and even in your serverful or serverless functions.
+
+Last but not least, Redwood provides it's own self-hosted, full-featured auth provider: [dbAuth](./auth/dbauth.md).
+
+In this doc, we'll cover auth at a high level.
+All auth providers share the same interface so the information here will be useful no matter which auth provider you use.
+
+## Official integrations
+
+Redwood has a simple API to integrate any auth provider you can think of. But to make it easier for you to get started, Redwood provides official integrations for some of the most popular auth providers out of the box:
+
+- [Auth0](./auth/auth0.md)
+- [Azure Active Directory](./auth/azure.md)
+- [Clerk](./auth/clerk.md)
+- [Firebase](./auth/firebase.md)
+- [Netlify](./auth/netlify.md)
+- [Supabase](./auth/supabase.md)
+- [SuperTokens](./auth/supertokens.md)
+
+:::tip how to tell if an integration is official

+To tell if an integration is official, look for the `@redwoodjs` scope.
+For example, Redwood's Auth0 integration comprises two npm packages: `@redwoodjs/auth-auth0-web` and `@redwoodjs/auth-auth0-api`.
+
+:::
+
+Other than bearing the `@redwoodjs` scope, the reason these providers are official is that we're committed to keeping them up to date.
+You can set up any of them via the corresponding auth setup command:
+
+```
+yarn rw setup auth auth0
+```
+
+## The API at a high-level
+
+We mentioned that Redwood has a simple API you can use to integrate any provider you want.
+Whether you roll your own auth provider or choose one of Redwood's integrations, it's good to be familiar with it, so let's dive into it here.
+
+On the web side, there are two components that can be auth enabled: the `RedwoodApolloProvider` in `web/src/App.tsx` and the `Router` in `web/src/Routes.tsx`.
+Both take a `useAuth` prop. If provided, they'll use this hook to get information about the app's auth state. The `RedwoodApolloProvider` uses it to get a token to include in every GraphQL request, and the `Router` uses it to determine if a user has access to private or role-restricted routes.
+
+When you set up an auth provider, the setup command makes a new file, `web/src/auth.ts`. This file's job is to create the `AuthProvider` component and the `useAuth` hook by integrating with the auth provider of your choice. Whenever you need access to the auth context, you'll import the `useAuth` hook from this file. The `RedwoodApolloProvider` and the `Router` are no exceptions:
+
+![web-side-auth](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32992335/208549951-469617d7-c798-4d9a-8a29-46efe23cca6a.png)
+
+Once auth is setup on the web side, every GraphQL request includes a JWT (JSON Web Token).
+The api side needs a way of verifying and decoding this token if it's to do anything with it.
+There are two steps to this process:
+
+- decoding the token
+- mapping it into a user object
+
+The `createGraphQLHandler` function in `api/src/functions/graphql.ts` takes two props, `authDecoder` and `getCurrentUser`, for each of these steps (respectively):
+
+```ts title="api/src/functions/graphql.ts"
+// highlight-next-line
+import { authDecoder } from '@redwoodjs/auth-auth0-api'
+import { createGraphQLHandler } from '@redwoodjs/graphql-server'
+
+import directives from 'src/directives/**/*.{js,ts}'
+import sdls from 'src/graphql/**/*.sdl.{js,ts}'
+import services from 'src/services/**/*.{js,ts}'
+
+// highlight-next-line
+import { getCurrentUser } from 'src/lib/auth'
+import { db } from 'src/lib/db'
+import { logger } from 'src/lib/logger'
+
+export const handler = createGraphQLHandler({
+ // highlight-start
+ authDecoder,
+ getCurrentUser,
+ // highlight-end
+ loggerConfig: { logger, options: {} },
+ directives,
+ sdls,
+ services,
+ onException: () => {
+ // Disconnect from your database with an unhandled exception.
+ db.$disconnect()
+ },
+})
+```
+
+### Destructuring the `useAuth` hook
+
+That was auth at a high level.
+Now for a few more details on something you'll probably use a lot, the `useAuth` hook.
+
+The `useAuth` hook provides a streamlined interface to your auth provider's client SDK.
+Much of what the functions it returns do is self explanatory, but the options they take depend on the auth provider:
+
+| Name | Description |
+| :---------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `client` | The client instance used in creating the auth provider. Most of the functions here use this under the hood |
+| `currentUser` | An object containing information about the current user as set on the `api` side, or if the user isn't authenticated, `null` |
+| `getToken` | Returns a JWT |
+| `hasRole` | Determines if the current user is assigned a role like `"admin"` or assigned to any of the roles in an array |
+| `isAuthenticated` | A boolean indicating whether or not the user is authenticated |
+| `loading` | If the auth context is loading |
+| `logIn` | Logs a user in |
+| `logOut` | Logs a user out |
+| `reauthenticate` | Refetch auth data and context. (This one is called internally and shouldn't be something you have to reach for often) |
+| `signUp` | Signs a user up |
+| `userMetadata` | An object containing the user's metadata (or profile information), fetched directly from an instance of the auth provider client. Or if the user isn't authenticated, `null` |
+
+### Protecting routes
+
+You can require that a user be authenticated to navigate to a route by wrapping it in the `PrivateSet` component.
+An unauthenticated user will be redirected to the route specified in either component's `unauthenticated` prop:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/Routes.tsx"
+import { Router, Route, PrivateSet } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+
+const Routes = () => {
+ return (
+
+
+
+
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+
+
+
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+You can also restrict access by role by passing a role or an array of roles to the `PrivateSet` component's `hasRole` prop:
+
+```tsx title="web/src/Routes.tsx"
+import { Router, Route, PrivateSet } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+
+const Routes = () => {
+ return (
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+
+
+
+ // highlight-next-line
+
+
+
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+### api-side currentUser
+
+We briefly mentioned that GraphQL requests include an `Authorization` header in every request when a user is authenticated.
+The api side verifies and decodes the token in this header via the `authDecoder` function.
+While information about the user is technically available at this point, it's still pretty raw.
+You can map it into a real user object via the `getCurrentUser` function.
+Both these functions are passed to the `createGraphQLHandler` function in `api/src/functions/graphql.ts`:
+
+```ts title="api/src/functions/graphql.ts"
+export const handler = createGraphQLHandler({
+ authDecoder,
+ getCurrentUser,
+ // ...
+})
+
+```
+
+If you're using one of Redwood's official integrations, `authDecoder` comes from the corresponding integration package (in auth0's case, `@redwoodjs/auth-auth0-api`):
+
+```ts
+import { authDecoder } from '@redwoodjs/auth-auth0-api'
+```
+
+If you're rolling your own, you'll have to write it yourself. See the [Custom Auth](./auth/custom.md#api-side) docs for an example.
+
+It's always up to you to write `getCurrentUser`, though the setup command will stub it out for you in `api/src/lib/auth.ts` with plenty of guidance.
+
+`getCurrentUser`'s return is made globally available in the api side's context via `context.currentUser` for convenience.
+
+### Locking down the GraphQL api
+
+Use the `requireAuth` and `skipAuth` [GraphQL directives](directives#secure-by-default-with-built-in-directives) to protect individual GraphQL calls.

+## API
+
+The api side of Redwood is transpiled by Babel into the `./api/dist` folder.
+
+### Steps on Netlify
+
+To emulate Netlify's build steps locally:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw build api
+cd api
+yarn zip-it-and-ship-it dist/functions/ zipballs/
+```
+
+Each lambda function in `./api/dist/functions` is parsed by zip-it-and-ship-it resulting in a zip file per lambda function that contains all the dependencies required for that lambda function.
+
+>Note: The `@netlify/zip-it-and-ship-it` package needs to be installed as a dev dependency in `api/`. Use the command `yarn workspace api add -D @netlify/zip-it-and-ship-it`.
+>- You can learn more about the package [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@netlify/zip-it-and-ship-it).
+>- For more information on AWS Serverless Deploy see these [docs](/docs/deploy/serverless).
+
+## Web
+
+The web side of Redwood is packaged by Webpack into the `./web/dist` folder.

+description: Declarative data fetching with Cells
+---
+# Cells
+
+Cells are a declarative approach to data fetching and one of Redwood's signature modes of abstraction.
+By providing conventions around data fetching, Redwood can get in between the request and the response to do things like query optimization and more, all without you ever having to change your code.
+
+While it might seem like there's a lot of magic involved, all a Cell really does is execute a GraphQL query and manage its lifecycle.
+The idea is that, by exporting named constants that declare what you want your UI to look like throughout a query's lifecycle,
+Redwood can assemble these into a component template at build-time using a Babel plugin.
+All without you having to write a single line of imperative code!
+
+## Generating a Cell
+
+You can generate a Cell with Redwood's Cell generator:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw generate cell
+```
+
+This creates a directory named `Cell` in `web/src/components` with four files:
+
+| File | Description |
+| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `Cell.js` | The actual Cell |
+| `Cell.test.js` | Jest tests for each state of the Cell |
+| `Cell.stories.js` | Storybook stories for each state of the Cell |
+| `Cell.mock.js` | Mock data for both the Jest tests and Storybook stories |
+
+### Single Item Cell vs List Cell
+
+Sometimes you want a Cell that renders a single item and other times you want a Cell that renders a list.
+Redwood's Cell generator can do both.
+
+First, it detects if `` is singular or plural.
+For example, to generate a Cell that renders a list of users, run `yarn rw generate cell users`.
+Second, for irregular words whose singular and plural are the same, such as "equipment" or "pokemon", you can pass `--list` to tell Redwood to generate a list Cell explicitly:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw generate cell equipment --list
+```
+
+## Cells in-depth
+
+Cells exports five constants: `QUERY`, `Loading` , `Empty` , `Failure` and `Success`. The root query in `QUERY` is the same as `` so that, if you're generating a cell based on a model in your `schema.prisma`, you can get something out of the database right away. But there's a good chance you won't generate your Cell this way, so if you need to, make sure to change the root query. See the [Cells](tutorial/chapter2/cells.md#our-first-cell) section of the Tutorial for a great example of this.
+
+## Usage
+
+With Cells, you have a total of seven exports to work with:
+
+| Name | Type | Description |
+| :------------ | :---------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `QUERY` | `string,function` | The query to execute |
+| `beforeQuery` | `function` | Lifecycle hook; prepares variables and options for the query |
+| `isEmpty` | `function` | Lifecycle hook; decides if the Cell should render Empty |
+| `afterQuery` | `function` | Lifecycle hook; sanitizes data returned from the query |
+| `Loading` | `component` | If the request is in flight, render this component |
+| `Empty` | `component` | If there's no data (`null` or `[]`), render this component |
+| `Failure` | `component` | If something went wrong, render this component |
+| `Success` | `component` | If the data has loaded, render this component |
+
+Only `QUERY` and `Success` are required. If you don't export `Empty`, empty results are sent to `Success`, and if you don't export `Failure`, error is output to the console.
+
+In addition to displaying the right component at the right time, Cells also funnel the right props to the right component. `Loading`, `Empty`, `Failure`, and `Success` all have access to the props passed down from the Cell in good ol' React fashion, and most of the `useQuery` hook's return as a prop called `queryResult`. In addition to all those props, `Empty` and `Success` also get the `data` returned from the query and an `updating` prop indicating whether the Cell is currently fetching new data. `Failure` also gets `updating` and exclusive access to `error` and `errorCode`.
+
+We mentioned above that Cells receive "most" of what's returned from the `useQuery` hook. You can see exactly what `useQuery` returns in Apollo Client's [API reference](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/api/react/hooks/#result). Again note that `error` and `data` get some special treatment.
+
+### QUERY
+
+`QUERY` can be a string or a function. If `QUERY` is a function, it has to return a valid GraphQL document.
+
+It's more-than ok to have more than one root query. Here's an example:
+
+```jsx {7-10}
+export const QUERY = gql`{
+ query {
+ posts {
+ id
+ title
+ }
+ authors {
+ id
+ name
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+So in this case, both `posts` and `authors` would be available to `Success`:
+
+```jsx
+export const Success = ({ posts, authors }) => {
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+Normally queries have variables. Cells are setup to use any props they receive from their parent as variables (things are setup this way in `beforeQuery`). For example, here `BlogPostCell` takes a prop, `numberToShow`, so `numberToShow` is just available to your `QUERY`:
+
+```jsx {7}
+import BlogPostsCell from 'src/components/BlogPostsCell'
+
+const HomePage = () => {
+ return (
+
+
Home
+
+
+ )
+}
+
+export default HomePage
+```
+
+```jsx {2-3}
+export const QUERY = gql`
+ query($numberToShow: Int!) {
+ posts(numberToShow: $numberToShow) {
+ id
+ title
+ }
+ }
+`
+```
+
+This means you can think backwards about your Cell's props from your SDL: whatever the variables in your SDL are, that's what your Cell's props should be.
+
+### beforeQuery
+
+`beforeQuery` is a lifecycle hook. The best way to think about it is as a chance to configure [Apollo Client's `useQuery` hook](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/api/react/hooks#options).
+
+By default, `beforeQuery` gives any props passed from the parent component to `QUERY` so that they're available as variables for it. It'll also set the fetch policy to `'cache-and-network'` since we felt it matched the behavior users want most of the time:
+
+```jsx
+export const beforeQuery = (props) => {
+ return {
+ variables: props,
+ fetchPolicy: 'cache-and-network'
+ }
+}
+```
+
+For example, if you wanted to turn on Apollo's polling option, and prevent caching, you could export something like this (see Apollo's docs on [polling](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/data/queries/#polling) and [caching](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/data/queries/#setting-a-fetch-policy))
+
+```jsx
+export const beforeQuery = (props) => {
+ return { variables: props, fetchPolicy: 'no-cache', pollInterval: 2500 }
+}
+```
+
+You can also use `beforeQuery` to populate variables with data not included in the Cell's props (like from React's Context API or a global state management library). If you provide a `beforeQuery` function, the Cell will automatically change the type of its props to match the first argument of the function.
+
+```jsx
+// The Cell will take no props: |
+export const beforeQuery = () => {
+ const { currentUser } = useAuth()
+
+ return {
+ variables: { userId: currentUser.id }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+```jsx
+// The cell will take 1 prop named "word" that is a string:
+export const beforeQuery = ({ word }: { word: string }) => {
+ return {
+ variables: { magicWord: word }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### isEmpty
+
+`isEmpty` is an optional lifecycle hook. It returns a boolean to indicate if the Cell should render empty. Use it to override the default check, which checks if the Cell's root fields are null or empty arrays.
+
+It receives two parameters: 1) the `data`, and 2) an object that has the default `isEmpty` function, named `isDataEmpty`, so that you can extend the default:
+
+```jsx
+export const isEmpty = (data, { isDataEmpty }) => {
+ return isDataEmpty(data) || data?.blog?.status === 'hidden'
+}
+```
+
+### afterQuery
+
+`afterQuery` is a lifecycle hook. It runs just before data gets to `Success`.
+Use it to sanitize data returned from `QUERY` before it gets there.
+
+By default, `afterQuery` just returns the data as it is:
+
+### Loading
+
+If there's no cached data and the request is in flight, a Cell renders `Loading`.
+
+When you're developing locally, you can catch your Cell waiting to hear back for a moment if set your speed in the Inspector's **Network** tab to something like "Slow 3G".
+
+But why bother with Slow 3G when Redwood comes with Storybook? Storybook makes developing components like `Loading` (and `Failure`) a breeze. We don't have to put up with hacky workarounds like Slow 3G or intentionally breaking our app just to develop our components.
+
+### Empty
+
+A Cell renders this component if there's no data.
+By no data, we mean if the response is 1) `null` or 2) an empty array (`[]`).
+
+### Failure
+
+A Cell renders this component if something went wrong. You can quickly see this in action if you add an untyped field to your `QUERY`:
+
+```jsx {6}
+const QUERY = gql`
+ query {
+ posts {
+ id
+ title
+ unTypedField
+ }
+ }
+`
+```
+
+But, like `Loading`, Storybook is probably a better place to develop this.
+
+
+
+In this example, we use the `errorCode` to conditionally render the error heading title, and we also use it for our translation string.
+```jsx
+export const Failure = ({ error, errorCode }: CellFailureProps) => {
+ const { t } = useTranslation()
+ return (
+
+ {errorCode === 'NO_CONFIG' ? NO_CONFIG : ERROR }
+ Error: {error.message} - Code: {errorCode} - {t(`error.${errorCode}`)}
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+### Success
+
+If everything went well, a Cell renders `Success`.
+
+As mentioned, Success gets exclusive access to the `data` prop. But if you try to destructure it from `props`, you'll notice that it doesn't exist. This is because Redwood adds a layer of convenience: Redwood spreads `data` into `Success` so that you can just destructure whatever data you were expecting from your `QUERY` directly.
+
+So, if you're querying for `posts` and `authors`, instead of doing:
+
+```jsx
+export const Success = ({ data }) => {
+ const { posts, authors } = data
+
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+Redwood lets you do:
+
+```jsx
+export const Success = ({ posts, authors }) => {
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+Note that you can still pass any other props to `Success`. After all, it's just a React component.
+
+:::tip
+
+Looking for info on how TypeScript works with Cells? Check out the [Utility Types](typescript/utility-types.md#cells) doc.
+
+:::
+
+### When should I use a Cell?
+
+Whenever you want to fetch data. Let Redwood juggle what's displayed when. You just focus on what those things should look like.
+
+While you can use a Cell whenever you want to fetch data, it's important to note that you don't have to. You can do anything you want! For example, for one-off queries, there's always `useApolloClient`. This hook returns the client, which you can use to execute queries, among other things:
+
+```jsx
+// In a react component...
+
+client = useApolloClient()
+
+client.query({
+ query: gql`
+ ...
+ `
+})
+```
+
+### Can I Perform a Mutation in a Cell?
+
+Absolutely. We do so in our [example todo app](https://github.com/redwoodjs/example-todo/blob/f29069c9dc89fa3734c6f99816442e14dc73dbf7/web/src/components/TodoListCell/TodoListCell.js#L26-L44).
+We also don't think it's an anti-pattern to do so. Far from it—your cells might end up containing a lot of logic and really serve as the hub of your app in many ways.
+
+It's also important to remember that, besides exporting certain things with certain names, there aren't many rules around Cells—everything you can do in a regular component still goes.
+
+## How Does Redwood Know a Cell is a Cell?
+
+You just have to end a filename in "Cell" right? Well, while that's basically correct, there is one other thing you should know.
+
+Redwood looks for all files ending in "Cell" (so if you want your component to be a Cell, its filename does have to end in "Cell"), but if the file 1) doesn't export a const named `QUERY` and 2) has a default export, then it'll be skipped.
+
+When would you want to do this? If you just want a file to end in "Cell" for some reason. Otherwise, don't worry about it!
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Advanced Example: Implementing a Cell Yourself
+
+If we didn't do all that build-time stuff for you, how might you go about implementing a Cell yourself?
+
+Consider the [example from the Tutorial](tutorial/chapter2/cells.md#our-first-cell) where we're fetching posts:
+
+```jsx
+export const QUERY = gql`
+ query {
+ posts {
+ id
+ title
+ body
+ createdAt
+ }
+ }
+`
+
+export const Loading = () => Loading...
+
+export const Empty = () => No posts yet!
+
+export const Failure = ({ error }) => (
+ Error loading posts: {error.message}
+)
+
+export const Success = ({ posts }) => {
+ return posts.map((post) => (
+
+ {post.title}
+ {post.body}
+
+ ))
+}
+```
+
+And now let's say that Babel isn't going to come along and assemble our exports. What might we do?
+
+We'd probably do something like this:
+
+
+```jsx
+const QUERY = gql`
+ query {
+ posts {
+ id
+ title
+ body
+ createdAt
+ }
+ }
+`
+
+const Loading = () => Loading...
+
+const Empty = () => No posts yet!
+
+const Failure = ({ error }) => (
+ Error loading posts: {error.message}
+)
+
+const Success = ({ posts }) => {
+ return posts.map((post) => (
+
+ {post.title}
+ {post.body}
+
+ ))
+}
+
+const isEmpty = (data) => {
+ return isDataNull(data) || isDataEmptyArray(data)
+}
+
+export const Cell = () => {
+ return (
+
+ {({ error, loading, data }) => {
+ if (error) {
+ if (Failure) {
+ return
+ } else {
+ console.error(error)
+ }
+ } else if (loading) {
+ return
+ } else if (data) {
+ if (typeof Empty !== 'undefined' && isEmpty(data)) {
+ return
+ } else {
+ return
+ }
+ } else {
+ throw 'Cannot render Cell: graphQL success but `data` is null'
+ }
+ }}
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+That's a lot of code. A lot of imperative code too.
+
+We're basically just dumping the contents of [createCell.tsx](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/packages/web/src/components/cell/createCell.tsx) into this file. Can you imagine having to do this every time you wanted to fetch data that might be delayed in responding? Yikes.

+description: A comprehensive reference of Redwood's CLI
+---
+
+# Command Line Interface
+
+The following is a comprehensive reference of the Redwood CLI. You can get a glimpse of all the commands by scrolling the aside to the right.
+
+The Redwood CLI has two entry-point commands:
+
+1. **redwood** (alias `rw`), which is for developing an application, and
+2. **redwood-tools** (alias `rwt`), which is for contributing to the framework.
+
+This document covers the `redwood` command . For `redwood-tools`, see [Contributing](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#cli-reference-redwood-tools) in the Redwood repo.
+
+**A Quick Note on Syntax**
+
+We use [yargs](http://yargs.js.org/) and borrow its syntax here:
+
+```
+yarn redwood generate page [path] --option
+```
+
+- `redwood g page` is the command.
+- `` and `[path]` are positional arguments.
+ - `<>` denotes a required argument.
+ - `[]` denotes an optional argument.
+- `--option` is an option.
+
+Every argument and option has a type. Here `` and `[path]` are strings and `--option` is a boolean.
+
+You'll also sometimes see arguments with trailing `..` like:
+
+```
+yarn redwood build [side..]
+```
+
+The `..` operator indicates that the argument accepts an array of values. See [Variadic Positional Arguments](https://github.com/yargs/yargs/blob/master/docs/advanced.md#variadic-positional-arguments).
+
+## create redwood-app
+
+Create a Redwood project using the yarn create command:
+
+```
+yarn create redwood-app [option]
+```
+

+## build
+
+Build for production.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood build [side..]
+```
+
+We use Babel to transpile the api side into `./api/dist` and Webpack to package the web side into `./web/dist`.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `side` | Which side(s) to build. Choices are `api` and `web`. Defaults to `api` and `web` |
+| `--verbose, -v` | Print more information while building |
+
+#### Usage
+
+See [Builds](builds.md).
+
+#### Example
+
+Running `yarn redwood build` without any arguments generates the Prisma client and builds both sides of your project:
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood build
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood build
+ ✔ Generating the Prisma client...
+ ✔ Building "api"...
+ ✔ Building "web"...
+Done in 17.37s.
+```
+
+Files are output to each side's `dist` directory:
+
+```plaintext {2,6}
+├── api
+│ ├── dist
+│ ├── prisma
+│ └── src
+└── web
+ ├── dist
+ ├── public
+ └── src
+```
+
+## check (alias diagnostics)
+
+Get structural diagnostics for a Redwood project (experimental).
+
+```
+yarn redwood check
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood check
+yarn run v1.22.4
+web/src/Routes.js:14:5: error: You must specify a 'notfound' page
+web/src/Routes.js:14:19: error: Duplicate Path
+web/src/Routes.js:15:19: error: Duplicate Path
+web/src/Routes.js:17:40: error: Page component not found

+```
+
+## console (alias c)
+
+Launch an interactive Redwood shell (experimental):
+
+- This has not yet been tested on Windows.
+- The Prisma Client must be generated _prior_ to running this command, e.g. `yarn redwood prisma generate`. This is a known issue.
+
+```
+yarn redwood console
+```
+
+Right now, you can only use the Redwood console to interact with your database (always with `await`):
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood console
+yarn run v1.22.4
+> await db.user.findMany()
+> [ { id: 1, email: 'tom@redwoodjs.com', name: 'Tom' } ]
+```
+
+## data-migrate
+
+Data migration tools.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood data-migrate
+```
+
+| Command | Description |
+| :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `install` | Appends `DataMigration` model to `schema.prisma`, creates `api/db/dataMigrations` directory |
+| `up` | Executes outstanding data migrations |
+
+### data-migrate install
+
+- Appends a `DataMigration` model to `schema.prisma` for tracking which data migrations have already run.
+- Creates a DB migration using `yarn redwood prisma migrate dev --create-only create_data_migrations`.
+- Creates `api/db/dataMigrations` directory to contain data migration scripts
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood data-migrate install
+```
+
+### data-migrate up
+
+Executes outstanding data migrations against the database. Compares the list of files in `api/db/dataMigrations` to the records in the `DataMigration` table in the database and executes any files not present.
+
+If an error occurs during script execution, any remaining scripts are skipped and console output will let you know the error and how many subsequent scripts were skipped.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood data-migrate up
+```
+
+## dev
+
+Start development servers for api and web.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood dev [side..]
+```
+
+`yarn redwood dev api` starts the Redwood dev server and `yarn redwood dev web` starts the Webpack dev server with Redwood's config.
+
+| Argument | Description |
+| :----------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `side` | Which dev server(s) to start. Choices are `api` and `web`. Defaults to `api` and `web` |
+| `--forward, --fwd` | String of one or more Vite Dev Server config options. See example usage below |
+
+#### Usage
+
+If you're only working on your sdl and services, you can run just the api server to get GraphQL Playground on port 8911:
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood dev api
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood dev api
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/dev-server
+15:04:51 api | Listening on http://localhost:8911
+15:04:51 api | Watching /home/dominic/projects/redwood/redwood-app/api
+15:04:51 api |
+15:04:51 api | Now serving
+15:04:51 api |
+15:04:51 api | ► http://localhost:8911/graphql/
+```
+
+Using `--forward` (alias `--fwd`), you can pass one or more Webpack Dev Server [config options](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/). The following will run the dev server, set the port to `1234`, and disable automatic browser opening.
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood dev --fwd="--port=1234 --open=false"
+```
+
+You may need to access your dev application from a different host, like your mobile device or an SSH tunnel. To resolve the “Invalid Host Header” message, run the following:
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood dev --fwd="--allowed-hosts all"
+```
+
+For the full list of Webpack Dev Server settings, see [this documentation](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/).
+
+For the full list of Server Configuration settings, see [this documentation](app-configuration-redwood-toml.md#api).
+
+## deploy
+
+Deploy your redwood project to a hosting provider target.
+
+**Netlify, Vercel, and Render**
+
+For hosting providers that auto deploy from Git, the deploy command runs the set of steps to build, apply production DB changes, and apply data migrations. In this context, it is often referred to as a Build Command. _Note: for Render, which uses traditional infrastructure, the command also starts Redwood's api server._
+
+**AWS**
+
+This command runs the steps to both build your project _and_ deploy it to AWS.
+
+```
+yarn redwood deploy
+```
+
+| Commands | Description |
+| :---------------------------- | :--------------------------------------- |
+| `serverless ` | Deploy to AWS using Serverless framework |
+| `netlify [...commands]` | Build command for Netlify deploy |
+| `render [...commands]` | Build command for Render deploy |
+| `vercel [...commands]` | Build command for Vercel deploy |
+
+### deploy serverless
+
+Deploy to AWS CloudFront and Lambda using [Serverless](https://www.serverless.com/) framework
+
+```
+yarn redwood deploy serverless
+```
+
+| Options & Arguments | Description |
+| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--side` | which Side(s)to deploy [choices: "api", "web"] [default: "web","api"] |
+| `--stage` | serverless stage, see [serverless stage docs](https://www.serverless.com/blog/stages-and-environments) [default: "production"] |
+| `--pack-only` | Only package the build for deployment |
+| `--first-run` | Use this flag the first time you deploy. The first deploy wizard will walk you through configuring your web side to connect to the api side |
+
+
+### deploy netlify
+
+Build command for Netlify deploy
+
+```
+yarn redwood deploy netlify
+```
+
+| Options | Description |
+| :--------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--build` | Build for production [default: "true"] |
+| `--prisma` | Apply database migrations [default: "true"] |
+| `--data-migrate, --dm` | Migrate the data in your database [default: "true"] |
+
+#### Example
+The following command will build, apply Prisma DB migrations, and skip data migrations.
+
+```
+yarn redwood deploy netlify --no-data-migrate
+```
+
+:::warning
+While you may be tempted to use the [Netlify CLI](https://cli.netlify.com) commands to [build](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/build) and [deploy](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/deploy) your project directly from you local project directory, doing so **will lead to errors when deploying and/or when running functions**. I.e. errors in the function needed for the GraphQL server, but also other serverless functions.
+
+The main reason for this is that these Netlify CLI commands simply build and deploy -- they build your project locally and then push the dist folder. That means that when building a RedwoodJS project, the [Prisma client is generated with binaries matching the operating system at build time](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/link) -- and not the [OS compatible](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/prisma-schema-reference#binarytargets-options) with running functions on Netlify. Your Prisma client engine may be `darwin` for OSX or `windows` for Windows, but it needs to be `debian-openssl-1.1.x` or `rhel-openssl-1.1.x`. If the client is incompatible, your functions will fail.
+
+Therefore, please follow the [instructions in the Tutorial](tutorial/chapter4/deployment.md#netlify) to sync your GitHub (or other compatible source control service) repository with Netlify and allow their build and deploy system to manage deployments.
+
+The [Netlify CLI](https://cli.netlify.com) still works well for [linking your project to your site](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/link), testing local builds and also using their [dev](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/dev) or [dev --live](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/dev) to share your local dev server via a tunnel.

+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `name` | Name of the model (in schema.prisma) |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+| `--rollback` | Rollback changes if an error occurs [default: true] |
+
+#### Usage
+
+See the [RedwoodRecord docs](redwoodrecord.md).
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood generate model User
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood g model User
+ ✔ Generating model file...
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/models/User.js`
+ ✔ Parsing datamodel, generating api/src/models/index.js...
+
+ Wrote /Users/rob/Sites/redwoodjs/redwood_record/.redwood/datamodel.json
+ Wrote /Users/rob/Sites/redwoodjs/redwood_record/api/src/models/index.js
+
+✨ Done in 3.74s.
+```
+
+Generating a model automatically runs `yarn rw record init` as well.
+
+### generate page
+
+Generates a page component and updates the routes.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood generate page [path]
+```
+
+`path` can include a route parameter which will be passed to the generated
+page. The syntax for that is `/path/to/page/{routeParam}/more/path`. You can
+also specify the type of the route parameter if needed: `{routeParam:Int}`. If
+`path` isn't specified, or if it's just a route parameter, it will be derived
+from `name` and the route parameter, if specified, will be added to the end.
+
+This also updates `Routes.js` in `./web/src`.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `name` | Name of the page |
+| `path` | URL path to the page. Defaults to `name` |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+| `--typescript, --ts` | Generate TypeScript files Enabled by default if we detect your project is TypeScript |
+| `--tests` | Generate test files [default: true] |
+| `--stories` | Generate Storybook files [default: true] |
+| `--rollback` | Rollback changes if an error occurs [default: true] |
+
+**Destroying**
+
+```
+yarn redwood destroy page [path]
+```
+
+**Examples**
+
+Generating a home page:
+
+```plaintext
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood generate page home /
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood g page home /
+ ✔ Generating page files...
+ ✔ Writing `./web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.test.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.js`...
+ ✔ Updating routes file...
+Done in 1.02s.
+```
+
+The page returns jsx telling you where to find it:
+
+```jsx title="./web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.js"
+const HomePage = () => {
+ return (
+
+ HomePage
+ Find me in ./web/src/pages/HomePage/HomePage.js
+
+ )
+}
+
+export default HomePage
+```
+
+And the route is added to `Routes.js`:
+
+```jsx {6} title="./web/src/Routes.js"
+const Routes = () => {
+ return (
+
+
+
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Generating a page to show quotes:
+
+```plaintext
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood generate page quote {id}
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood g page quote {id}
+ ✔ Generating page files...
+ ✔ Writing `./web/src/pages/QuotePage/QuotePage.stories.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./web/src/pages/QuotePage/QuotePage.test.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./web/src/pages/QuotePage/QuotePage.js`...
+ ✔ Updating routes file...
+Done in 1.02s.
+```
+
+The generated page will get the route parameter as a prop:
+
+```jsx {5,12,14} title="./web/src/pages/QuotePage/QuotePage.js"
+import { Link, routes } from '@redwoodjs/router'
+
+const QuotePage = ({ id }) => {
+ return (
+ <>
+ QuotePage
+ Find me in "./web/src/pages/QuotePage/QuotePage.js"
+
+ My default route is named "quote", link to me with `
+ Quote 42`
+
+ The parameter passed to me is {id}
+ >
+ )
+}
+
+export default QuotePage
+```
+
+And the route is added to `Routes.js`, with the route parameter added:
+
+```jsx {6} title="./web/src/Routes.js"
+const Routes = () => {
+ return (
+
+
+
+
+ )
+}
+```

+
+
+### generate scaffold
+
+Generate Pages, SDL, and Services files based on a given DB schema Model. Also accepts ``.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood generate scaffold
+```
+
+A scaffold quickly creates a CRUD for a model by generating the following files and corresponding routes:
+
+- sdl
+- service
+- layout
+- pages
+- cells
+- components
+
+The content of the generated components is different from what you'd get by running them individually.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `model` | Model to scaffold. You can also use `` to nest files by type at the given path directory (or directories). For example, `redwood g scaffold admin/post` |
+| `--docs` | Use or set to `true` to generated comments in SDL to use in self-documentating your app's GraphQL API. See: [Self-Documenting GraphQL API](./graphql.md#self-documenting-graphql-api) [default:false] |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+| `--tailwind` | Generate TailwindCSS version of scaffold.css (automatically set to `true` if TailwindCSS config exists) |
+| `--typescript, --ts` | Generate TypeScript files Enabled by default if we detect your project is TypeScript |
+| `--rollback` | Rollback changes if an error occurs [default: true] |
+
+#### Usage
+
+See [Creating a Post Editor](tutorial/chapter2/getting-dynamic.md#creating-a-post-editor).
+
+**Nesting of Components and Pages**
+
+By default, redwood will nest the components and pages in a directory named as per the model. For example (where `post` is the model):
+`yarn rw g scaffold post`
+will output the following files, with the components and pages nested in a `Post` directory:
+
+```plaintext {9-20}
+ √ Generating scaffold files...
+ √ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/graphql/posts.sdl.js`

+ √ Adding layout import...
+ √ Adding set import...
+ √ Adding scaffold routes...
+ √ Adding scaffold asset imports...
+```
+
+If it is not desired to nest the components and pages, then redwood provides an option that you can set to disable this for your project.
+Add the following in your `redwood.toml` file to disable the nesting of components and pages.
+
+```
+[generate]
+ nestScaffoldByModel = false
+```
+
+Setting the `nestScaffoldByModel = true` will retain the default behavior, but is not required.
+
+Notes:
+
+1. The nesting directory is always set to be PascalCase.
+
+**Namespacing Scaffolds**
+
+You can namespace your scaffolds by providing ``. The layout, pages, cells, and components will be nested in newly created dir(s). In addition, the nesting folder, based upon the model name, is still applied after the path for components and pages, unless turned off in the `redwood.toml` as described above. For example, given a model `user`, running `yarn redwood generate scaffold admin/user` will nest the layout, pages, and components in a newly created `Admin` directory created for each of the `layouts`, `pages`, and `components` folders:
+
+```plaintext {9-20}
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood generate scaffold admin/user
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood g scaffold admin/user
+ ✔ Generating scaffold files...
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/graphql/users.sdl.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/services/users/users.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/services/users/users.scenarios.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/services/users/users.test.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/layouts/Admin/UsersLayout/UsersLayout.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/pages/Admin/User/EditUserPage/EditUserPage.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/pages/Admin/User/UserPage/UserPage.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/pages/Admin/User/UsersPage/UsersPage.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/pages/Admin/User/NewUserPage/NewUserPage.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/EditUserCell/EditUserCell.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/User/User.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/UserCell/UserCell.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/UserForm/UserForm.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/Users/Users.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/UsersCell/UsersCell.js`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./web/src/components/Admin/User/NewUser/NewUser.js`
+ ✔ Adding layout import...
+ ✔ Adding set import...
+ ✔ Adding scaffold routes...
+ ✔ Adding scaffold asset imports...
+Done in 1.21s.
+```
+
+The routes wrapped in the [`Set`](router.md#sets-of-routes) component with generated layout will be nested too:
+
+```jsx {6-11} title="./web/src/Routes.js"
+const Routes = () => {
+ return (
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+1. Each directory in the scaffolded path is always set to be PascalCase.
+2. The scaffold path may be multiple directories deep.
+
+**Destroying**
+
+```
+yarn redwood destroy scaffold
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+1. You can also use `` to destroy files that were generated under a scaffold path. For example, `redwood d scaffold admin/post`
+2. The destroy command will remove empty folders along the path, provided they are lower than the folder level of component, layout, page, etc.
+3. The destroy scaffold command will also follow the `nestScaffoldbyModel` setting in the `redwood.toml` file. For example, if you have an existing scaffold that you wish to destroy, that does not have the pages and components nested by the model name, you can destroy the scaffold by temporarily setting:
+
+```
+[generate]
+ nestScaffoldByModel = false
+```
+
+**Troubleshooting**
+
+If you see `Error: Unknown type: ...`, don't panic!
+It's a known limitation with GraphQL type generation.
+It happens when you generate the SDL of a Prisma model that has relations **before the SDL for the related model exists**.
+Please see [Troubleshooting Generators](./schema-relations#troubleshooting-generators) for help.
+
+### generate script
+
+Generates an arbitrary Node.js script in `./scripts/` that can be used with `redwood execute` command later.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `name` | Name of the service |
+| `--typescript, --ts` | Generate TypeScript files Enabled by default if we detect your project is TypeScript |
+| `--rollback` | Rollback changes if an error occurs [default: true] |
+
+Scripts have access to services and libraries used in your project. Some examples of how this can be useful:
+
+- create special database seed scripts for different scenarios
+- sync products and prices from your payment provider
+- running cleanup jobs on a regular basis e.g. delete stale/expired data
+- sync data between platforms e.g. email from your db to your email marketing platform
+
+#### Usage
+
+```
+❯ yarn rw g script syncStripeProducts
+
+ ✔ Generating script file...
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./scripts/syncStripeProducts.ts`
+ ✔ Next steps...
+
+ After modifying your script, you can invoke it like:
+
+ yarn rw exec syncStripeProducts
+
+ yarn rw exec syncStripeProducts --param1 true
+```
+
+### generate sdl
+
+Generate a GraphQL schema and service object.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood generate sdl
+```
+
+The sdl will inspect your `schema.prisma` and will do its best with relations. Schema to generators isn't one-to-one yet (and might never be).
+
+
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `model` | Model to generate the sdl for |
+| `--crud` | Set to `false`, or use `--no-crud`, if you do not want to generate mutations |
+| `--docs` | Use or set to `true` to generated comments in SDL to use in self-documentating your app's GraphQL API. See: [Self-Documenting GraphQL API](./graphql.md#self-documenting-graphql-api) [default: false] |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+| `--tests` | Generate service test and scenario [default: true] |
+| `--typescript, --ts` | Generate TypeScript files Enabled by default if we detect your project is TypeScript |
+| `--rollback` | Rollback changes if an error occurs [default: true] |
+
+> **Note:** The generated sdl will include the `@requireAuth` directive by default to ensure queries and mutations are secure. If your app's queries and mutations are all public, you can set up a custom SDL generator template to apply `@skipAuth` (or a custom validator directive) to suit you application's needs.
+
+**Regenerating the SDL**
+
+Often, as you iterate on your data model, you may add, remove, or rename fields. You still want Redwood to update the generated SDL and service files for those updates because it saves time not having to make those changes manually.
+
+But, since the `generate` command prevents you from overwriting files accidentally, you use the `--force` option -- but a `force` will reset any test and scenarios you may have written which you don't want to lose.
+
+In that case, you can run the following to "regenerate" **just** the SDL file and leave your tests and scenarios intact and not lose your hard work.
+
+```
+yarn redwood g sdl --force --no-tests
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood generate sdl user --force --no-tests
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood g sdl user
+ ✔ Generating SDL files...
+ ✔ Writing `./api/src/graphql/users.sdl.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./api/src/services/users/users.js`...
+Done in 1.04s.
+```
+
+**Destroying**
+
+```
+yarn redwood destroy sdl
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+Generating a user sdl:
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn redwood generate sdl user
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood g sdl user
+ ✔ Generating SDL files...
+ ✔ Writing `./api/src/graphql/users.sdl.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./api/src/services/users/users.scenarios.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./api/src/services/users/users.test.js`...
+ ✔ Writing `./api/src/services/users/users.js`...
+Done in 1.04s.
+```
+
+The generated sdl defines a corresponding type, query, create/update inputs, and any mutations. To prevent defining mutations, add the `--no-crud` option.
+
+```jsx title="./api/src/graphql/users.sdl.js"
+export const schema = gql`
+ type User {
+ id: Int!
+ email: String!
+ name: String
+ }
+
+ type Query {
+ users: [User!]! @requireAuth
+ }
+
+ input CreateUserInput {
+ email: String!
+ name: String
+ }
+
+ input UpdateUserInput {
+ email: String
+ name: String
+ }
+
+ type Mutation {
+ createUser(input: CreateUserInput!): User! @requireAuth
+ updateUser(id: Int!, input: UpdateUserInput!): User! @requireAuth
+ deleteUser(id: Int!): User! @requireAuth
+ }
+`
+```
+
+The services file fulfills the query. If the `--no-crud` option is added, this file will be less complex.
+
+```jsx title="./api/src/services/users/users.js"
+import { db } from 'src/lib/db'
+
+export const users = () => {
+ return db.user.findMany()
+}
+```
+
+For a model with a relation, the field will be listed in the sdl:
+
+```jsx {8} title="./api/src/graphql/users.sdl.js"
+export const schema = gql`
+ type User {
+ id: Int!
+ email: String!
+ name: String
+ profile: Profile
+ }
+
+ type Query {
+ users: [User!]! @requireAuth
+ }
+
+ input CreateUserInput {
+ email: String!
+ name: String
+ }
+
+ input UpdateUserInput {
+ email: String
+ name: String
+ }
+
+ type Mutation {
+ createUser(input: CreateUserInput!): User! @requireAuth
+ updateUser(id: Int!, input: UpdateUserInput!): User! @requireAuth
+ deleteUser(id: Int!): User! @requireAuth
+ }
+`
+```
+
+And the service will export an object with the relation as a property:
+
+```jsx {9-13} title="./api/src/services/users/users.js"
+import { db } from 'src/lib/db'
+
+export const users = () => {
+ return db.user.findMany()
+}
+
+export const User = {
+ profile: (_obj, { root }) => {
+ db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: root.id } }).profile(),
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Troubleshooting**
+
+If you see `Error: Unknown type: ...`, don't panic!
+It's a known limitation with GraphQL type generation.
+It happens when you generate the SDL of a Prisma model that has relations **before the SDL for the related model exists**.
+Please see [Troubleshooting Generators](./schema-relations#troubleshooting-generators) for help.
+
+### generate secret
+
+Generate a secret key using a cryptographically-secure source of entropy. Commonly used when setting up dbAuth.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--raw` | Print just the key, without any informational text |
+
+#### Usage
+
+Using the `--raw` option you can easily append a secret key to your .env file, like so:
+
+```
+# yarn v1
+echo "SESSION_SECRET=$(yarn --silent rw g secret --raw)" >> .env
+
+# yarn v3
+echo "SESSION_SECRET=$(yarn rw g secret --raw)" >> .env
+```
+
+### generate service
+
+Generate a service component.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood generate service
+```
+
+Services are where Redwood puts its business logic. They can be used by your GraphQL API or any other place in your backend code. See [How Redwood Works with Data](tutorial/chapter2/side-quest.md).
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

+## prisma
+
+Run Prisma CLI within the context of a Redwood project.
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma
+```
+
+Redwood's `prisma` command is a lightweight wrapper around the Prisma CLI. It's the primary way you interact with your database.
+
+> **What do you mean it's a lightweight wrapper?**
+>
+> By lightweight wrapper, we mean that we're handling some flags under the hood for you.
+> You can use the Prisma CLI directly (`yarn prisma`), but letting Redwood act as a proxy (`yarn redwood prisma`) saves you a lot of keystrokes.
+> For example, Redwood adds the `--schema=api/db/schema.prisma` flags automatically.
+>
+> If you want to know exactly what `yarn redwood prisma ` runs, which flags it's passing, etc., it's right at the top:
+>
+> ```sh{3}
+> $ yarn redwood prisma migrate dev
+> yarn run v1.22.10
+> $ ~/redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/redwood prisma migrate dev
+> Running prisma cli:
+> yarn prisma migrate dev --schema "~/redwood-app/api/db/schema.prisma"
+> ...
+> ```
+
+Since `yarn redwood prisma` is just an entry point into all the database commands that the Prisma CLI has to offer, we won't try to provide an exhaustive reference of everything you can do with it here. Instead what we'll do is focus on some of the most common commands; those that you'll be running on a regular basis, and how they fit into Redwood's workflows.
+
+For the complete list of commands, see the [Prisma CLI Reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference). It's the authority.
+
+Along with the CLI reference, bookmark Prisma's [Migration Flows](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-migrate/prisma-migrate-flows) doc—it'll prove to be an invaluable resource for understanding `yarn redwood prisma migrate`.
+
+| Command | Description |
+| :------------------ | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `db ` | Manage your database schema and lifecycle during development |
+| `generate` | Generate artifacts (e.g. Prisma Client) |
+| `migrate ` | Update the database schema with migrations |
+
+### prisma db
+
+Manage your database schema and lifecycle during development.
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma db
+```
+
+The `prisma db` namespace contains commands that operate directly against the database.
+
+#### prisma db pull
+
+Pull the schema from an existing database, updating the Prisma schema.
+
+> 👉 Quick link to the [Prisma CLI Reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference#db-pull).
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma db pull
+```
+
+This command, formerly `introspect`, connects to your database and adds Prisma models to your Prisma schema that reflect the current database schema.
+
+> Warning: The command will Overwrite the current schema.prisma file with the new schema. Any manual changes or customization will be lost. Be sure to back up your current schema.prisma file before running `db pull` if it contains important modifications.
+
+#### prisma db push
+
+Push the state from your Prisma schema to your database.
+
+> 👉 Quick link to the [Prisma CLI Reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference#db-push).
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma db push
+```
+
+This is your go-to command for prototyping changes to your Prisma schema (`schema.prisma`).
+Prior to to `yarn redwood prisma db push`, there wasn't a great way to try out changes to your Prisma schema without creating a migration.
+This command fills the void by "pushing" your `schema.prisma` file to your database without creating a migration. You don't even have to run `yarn redwood prisma generate` afterward—it's all taken care of for you, making it ideal for iterative development.
+
+#### prisma db seed
+
+Seed your database.
+
+> 👉 Quick link to the [Prisma CLI Reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference#db-seed-preview).
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma db seed
+```
+
+This command seeds your database by running your project's `seed.js|ts` file which you can find in your `scripts` directory.
+
+Prisma's got a great [seeding guide](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/prisma-guides/seed-database) that covers both the concepts and the nuts and bolts.
+
+> **Important:** Prisma Migrate also triggers seeding in the following scenarios:
+>
+> - you manually run the `yarn redwood prisma migrate reset` command
+> - the database is reset interactively in the context of using `yarn redwood prisma migrate dev`—for example, as a result of migration history conflicts or database schema drift
+>
+> If you want to use `yarn redwood prisma migrate dev` or `yarn redwood prisma migrate reset` without seeding, you can pass the `--skip-seed` flag.
+
+While having a great seed might not be all that important at the start, as soon as you start collaborating with others, it becomes vital.
+
+**How does seeding actually work?**
+
+If you look at your project's `package.json` file, you'll notice a `prisma` section:
+
+```json
+ "prisma": {
+ "seed": "yarn rw exec seed"
+ },
+```
+
+Prisma runs any command found in the `seed` setting when seeding via `yarn rw prisma db seed` or `yarn rw prisma migrate reset`.
+Here we're using the Redwood [`exec` cli command](#exec) that runs a script.
+
+If you wanted to seed your database using a different method (like `psql` and an `.sql` script), you can do so by changing the "seed" script command.
+
+**More About Seeding**
+
+In addition, you can [code along with Ryan Chenkie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LwTUIqjbPo), and learn how libraries like [faker](https://www.npmjs.com/package/faker) can help you create a large, realistic database fast, especially in tandem with Prisma's [createMany](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/prisma-client-reference#createmany).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+**Log Formatting**
+
+If you use the Redwood Logger as part of your seed script, you can pipe the command to the LogFormatter to output prettified logs.
+
+For example, if your `scripts.seed.js` imports the `logger`:
+
+```jsx title="scripts/seed.js"
+import { db } from 'api/src/lib/db'
+import { logger } from 'api/src/lib/logger'
+
+export default async () => {
+ try {
+ const posts = [
+ {
+ title: 'Welcome to the blog!',
+ body: "I'm baby single- origin coffee kickstarter lo.",
+ },
+ {
+ title: 'A little more about me',
+ body: 'Raclette shoreditch before they sold out lyft.',
+ },
+ {
+ title: 'What is the meaning of life?',
+ body: 'Meh waistcoat succulents umami asymmetrical, hoodie post-ironic paleo chillwave tote bag.',
+ },
+ ]
+
+ Promise.all(
+ posts.map(async (post) => {
+ const newPost = await db.post.create({
+ data: { title: post.title, body: post.body },
+ })
+
+ logger.debug({ data: newPost }, 'Added post')
+ })
+ )
+ } catch (error) {
+ logger.error(error)
+ }
+}
+```
+
+You can pipe the script output to the formatter:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw prisma db seed | yarn rw-log-formatter
+```
+
+> Note: Just be sure to set `data` attribute, so the formatter recognizes the content.
+> For example: `logger.debug({ data: newPost }, 'Added post')`
+
+### prisma migrate
+
+Update the database schema with migrations.
+
+> 👉 Quick link to the [Prisma Concepts](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-migrate).
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma migrate
+```
+
+As a database toolkit, Prisma strives to be as holistic as possible. Prisma Migrate lets you use Prisma schema to make changes to your database declaratively, all while keeping things deterministic and fully customizable by generating the migration steps in a simple, familiar format: SQL.
+
+Since migrate generates plain SQL files, you can edit those SQL files before applying the migration using `yarn redwood prisma migrate --create-only`. This creates the migration based on the changes in the Prisma schema, but doesn't apply it, giving you the chance to go in and make any modifications you want. [Daniel Norman's tour of Prisma Migrate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LKhksstrfg) demonstrates this and more to great effect.
+
+Prisma Migrate has separate commands for applying migrations based on whether you're in dev or in production. The Prisma [Migration flows](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-migrate/prisma-migrate-flows) goes over the difference between these workflows in more detail.
+
+#### prisma migrate dev
+
+Create a migration from changes in Prisma schema, apply it to the database, trigger generators (e.g. Prisma Client).
+
+> 👉 Quick link to the [Prisma CLI Reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference#migrate-dev).
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma migrate dev
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+#### prisma migrate deploy
+
+Apply pending migrations to update the database schema in production/staging.
+
+> 👉 Quick link to the [Prisma CLI Reference](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/command-reference#migrate-deploy).
+
+```
+yarn redwood prisma migrate deploy
+```
+
+#### prisma migrate reset
+
+This command deletes and recreates the database, or performs a "soft reset" by removing all data, tables, indexes, and other artifacts.
+
+It'll also re-seed your database by automatically running the `db seed` command. See [prisma db seed](#prisma-db-seed).
+
+> **_Important:_** For use in development environments only
+
+## record
+
+> This command is experimental and its behavior may change.
+
+Commands for working with RedwoodRecord.
+
+### record init
+
+Parses `schema.prisma` and caches the datamodel as JSON. Reads relationships between models and adds some configuration in `api/src/models/index.js`.
+
+```
+yarn rw record init
+```
+
+## redwood-tools (alias rwt)
+
+Redwood's companion CLI development tool. You'll be using this if you're contributing to Redwood. See [Contributing](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#cli-reference-redwood-tools) in the Redwood repo.
+
+## setup
+
+Initialize configuration and integrate third-party libraries effortlessly.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup
+```
+
+| Commands | Description |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `auth` | Set up auth configuration for a provider |
+| `cache` | Set up cache configuration for memcached or redis |
+| `custom-web-index` | Set up an `index.js` file, so you can customize how Redwood web is mounted in your browser |

+| `ui` | Set up a UI design or style library |
+| `webpack` | Set up a webpack config file in your project so you can add custom config |
+
+### setup auth
+
+Integrate an auth provider.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup auth
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `provider` | Auth provider to configure. Choices are `auth0`, `azureActiveDirectory`, `clerk`, `dbAuth`, `ethereum`, `firebase`, `goTrue`, `magicLink`, `netlify`, `nhost`, and `supabase` |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing configuration |
+
+#### Usage
+
+See [Authentication](authentication.md).
+
+### setup cache
+
+This command creates a setup file in `api/src/lib/cache.{ts|js}` for connecting to a Memcached or Redis server and allows caching in services. See the [**Caching** section of the Services docs](/docs/services#caching) for usage.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup cache
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `client` | Name of the client to configure, `memcached` or `redis` |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+
+### setup custom-web-index
+
+:::warning This command only applies to projects using Webpack
+
+As of v6, all Redwood projects use Vite by default.
+When switching projects to Vite, we made the decision to add the the entry file, `web/src/entry.client.{jsx,tsx}`, back to projects.
+
+:::
+
+Redwood automatically mounts your ` ` to the DOM, but if you want to customize how that happens, you can use this setup command to generate an `index.js` file in `web/src`.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup custom-web-index
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :----------------------- |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+
+### setup generator
+
+Copies a given generator's template files to your local app for customization. The next time you generate that type again, it will use your custom template instead of Redwood's default.
+
+```
+yarn rw setup generator
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `name` | Name of the generator template(s) to copy (see help for list) |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing copied template files |
+
+#### Usage
+
+If you wanted to customize the page generator template, run the command:
+
+```
+yarn rw setup generator page
+```
+
+And then check `web/generators/page` for the page, storybook and test template files. You don't need to keep all of these templates—you could customize just `page.tsx.template` and delete the others and they would still be generated, but using the default Redwood templates.
+
+The only exception to this rule is the scaffold templates. You'll get four directories, `assets`, `components`, `layouts` and `pages`. If you want to customize any one of the templates in those directories, you will need to keep all the other files inside of that same directory, even if you make no changes besides the one you care about. (This is due to the way the scaffold looks up its template files.) For example, if you wanted to customize only the index page of the scaffold (the one that lists all available records in the database) you would edit `web/generators/scaffold/pages/NamesPage.tsx.template` and keep the other pages in that directory. You _could_ delete the other three directories (`assets`, `components`, `layouts`) if you don't need to customize them.
+
+**Name Variants**
+
+Your template will receive the provided `name` in a number of different variations.
+
+For example, given the name `fooBar` your template will receive the following _variables_ with the given _values_
+
+| Variable | Value |
+| :--------------------- | :--------- |
+| `pascalName` | `FooBar` |
+| `camelName` | `fooBar` |
+| `singularPascalName` | `FooBar` |
+| `pluralPascalName` | `FooBars` |
+| `singularCamelName` | `fooBar` |
+| `pluralCamelName` | `fooBars` |
+| `singularParamName` | `foo-bar` |
+| `pluralParamName` | `foo-bars` |
+| `singularConstantName` | `FOO_BAR` |
+| `pluralConstantName` | `FOO_BARS` |
+
+#### Example
+
+Copying the cell generator templates:
+
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn rw setup generator cell
+yarn run v1.22.4
+$ /redwood-app/node_modules/.bin/rw setup generator cell
+ ✔ Copying generator templates...
+ ✔ Wrote templates to /web/generators/cell
+✨ Done in 2.33s.
+```
+
+### setup deploy (config)
+
+Set up a deployment configuration.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup deploy
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `provider` | Deploy provider to configure. Choices are `baremetal`, `coherence`, `edgio`, `flightcontrol`, `netlify`, `render`, `vercel`, or `aws-serverless [deprecated]`, |
+| `--database, -d` | Database deployment for Render only [choices: "none", "postgresql", "sqlite"] [default: "postgresql"] |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing configuration [default: false] |
+
+#### setup deploy netlify
+
+When configuring Netlify deployment, the `setup deploy netlify` command generates a `netlify.toml` [configuration file](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/) with the defaults needed to build and deploy a RedwoodJS site on Netlify.
+
+The `netlify.toml` file is a configuration file that specifies how Netlify builds and deploys your site — including redirects, branch and context-specific settings, and more.
+
+This configuration file also defines the settings needed for [Netlify Dev](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/#netlify-dev) to detect that your site uses the RedwoodJS framework. Netlify Dev serves your RedwoodJS app as if it runs on the Netlify platform and can serve functions, handle Netlify [headers](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/#headers) and [redirects](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/#redirects).
+
+Netlify Dev can also create a tunnel from your local development server that allows you to share and collaborate with others using `netlify dev --live`.
+
+```
+// See: netlify.toml
+// ...
+[dev]
+ # To use [Netlify Dev](https://www.netlify.com/products/dev/),
+ # install netlify-cli from https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/#installation
+ # and then use netlify link https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/#link-and-unlink-sites
+ # to connect your local project to a site already on Netlify
+ # then run netlify dev and our app will be accessible on the port specified below
+ framework = "redwoodjs"
+ # Set targetPort to the [web] side port as defined in redwood.toml
+ targetPort = 8910
+ # Point your browser to this port to access your RedwoodJS app
+ port = 8888
+```
+
+In order to use [Netlify Dev](https://www.netlify.com/products/dev/) you need to:
+
+- install the latest [netlify-cli](https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/#installation)
+- use [netlify link](https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/#link-and-unlink-sites) to connect to your Netlify site
+- ensure that the `targetPort` matches the [web] side port in `redwood.toml`
+- run `netlify dev` and your site will be served on the specified `port` (e.g., 8888)
+- if you wish to share your local server with others, you can run `netlify dev --live`
+
+> Note: To detect the RedwoodJS framework, please use netlify-cli v3.34.0 or greater.
+
+### setup mailer
+
+This command adds the necessary packages and files to get started using the RedwoodJS mailer. By default it also creates an example mail template which can be skipped with the `--skip-examples` flag.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup mailer
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :---------------------- | :----------------------------- |
+| `--force, -f` | Overwrite existing files |
+| `--skip-examples` | Do not include example content, such as a React email template |
+
+### setup package
+
+This command takes a published npm package that you specify, performs some compatibility checks, and then executes its bin script. This allows you to use third-party packages that can provide you with an easy-to-use setup command for the particular functionality they provide.
+
+This command behaves similarly to `yarn dlx` but will attempt to confirm compatibility between the package you are attempting to run and the current version of Redwood you are running. You can bypass this check by passing the `--force` flag if you feel you understand any potential compatibility issues.
+
+```
+yarn redwood setup package
+```
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :----------------------- |
+| `--force, -f` | Forgo compatibility checks |
+
+#### Usage
+
+Run the made up `@redwoodjs/setup-example` package:
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn rw setup package @redwoodjs/setup-example
+```
+
+Run the same package but using a particular npm tag and avoiding any compatibility checks:
+```bash
+~/redwood-app$ yarn rw setup package @redwoodjs/setup-example@beta --force
+```
+
+**Compatibility Checks**
+
+We perform a simple compatibility check in an attempt to make you aware of potential compatibility issues with setup packages you might wish to run. This works by examining the version of `@redwoodjs/core` you are using within your root `package.json`. We compare this value with a compatibility range the npm package specifies in the `engines.redwoodjs` field of its own `package.json`. If the version of `@redwoodjs/core` you are using falls outside of the compatibility range specified by the package you are attempting to run, we will warn you and ask you to confirm that you wish to continue.
+
+It's the author of the npm package's responsibility to specify the correct compatibility range, so **you should always research the packages you use with this command**. Especially since they will be executing code on your machine!
+
+### setup graphql
+
+This command creates the necessary files to support GraphQL features like fragments and trusted documents.
+
+#### Usage
+

+yarn redwood storybook
+```
+
+[Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/get-started/introduction) is a tool for UI development that allows you to develop your components in isolation, away from all the conflated cruft of your real app.
+
+> "Props in, views out! Make it simple to reason about."
+
+RedwoodJS supports Storybook by creating stories when generating cells, components, layouts and pages. You can then use these to describe how to render that UI component with representative data.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--open` | Open Storybook in your browser on start [default: true]. Pass `--no-open` to disable this behavior |

+| `--watchAll` | Run all tests |
+| `--collectCoverage` | Show test coverage summary and output info to `coverage` directory in project root. See this directory for an .html coverage report |
+| `--clearCache` | Delete the Jest cache directory and exit without running tests |
+| `--db-push` | Syncs the test database with your Prisma schema without requiring a migration. It creates a test database if it doesn't already exist [default: true]. This flag is ignored if your project doesn't have an `api` side. [👉 More details](#prisma-db-push). |
+
+> **Note** all other flags are passed onto the jest cli. So for example if you wanted to update your snapshots you can pass the `-u` flag
+
+## type-check (alias tsc or tc)
+
+Runs a TypeScript compiler check on both the api and the web sides.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood type-check [side]
+```

+
+## serve
+
+Runs a server that serves both the api and the web sides.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood serve [side]
+```
+
+> You should run `yarn rw build` before running this command to make sure all the static assets that will be served have been built.
+
+`yarn rw serve` is useful for debugging locally or for self-hosting—deploying a single server into a serverful environment. Since both the api and the web sides run in the same server, CORS isn't a problem.
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `side` | Which side(s) to run. Choices are `api` and `web`. Defaults to `api` and `web` |
+| `--port` | What port should the server run on [default: 8911] |
+| `--socket` | The socket the server should run. This takes precedence over port |
+
+### serve api
+
+Runs a server that only serves the api side.
+
+```
+yarn rw serve api
+```
+
+This command uses `apiUrl` in your `redwood.toml`. Use this command if you want to run just the api side on a server (e.g. running on Render).
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--port` | What port should the server run on [default: 8911] |
+| `--socket` | The socket the server should run. This takes precedence over port |
+| `--apiRootPath` | The root path where your api functions are served |
+
+For the full list of Server Configuration settings, see [this documentation](app-configuration-redwood-toml.md#api).
+If you want to format your log output, you can pipe the command to the Redwood LogFormatter:
+
+```
+yarn rw serve api | yarn rw-log-formatter
+```
+
+### serve web
+
+Runs a server that only serves the web side.
+
+```
+yarn rw serve web
+```
+
+This command serves the contents in `web/dist`. Use this command if you're debugging (e.g. great for debugging prerender) or if you want to run your api and web sides on separate servers, which is often considered a best practice for scalability (since your api side likely has much higher scaling requirements).
+
+> **But shouldn't I use nginx and/or equivalent technology to serve static files?**
+>
+> Probably, but it can be a challenge to setup when you just want something running quickly!
+
+| Arguments & Options | Description |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--port` | What port should the server run on [default: 8911] |
+| `--socket` | The socket the server should run. This takes precedence over port |
+| `--apiHost` | Forwards requests from the `apiUrl` (defined in `redwood.toml`) to the specified host |
+
+If you want to format your log output, you can pipe the command to the Redwood LogFormatter:
+
+```
+yarn rw serve web | yarn rw-log-formatter
+```
+
+## upgrade
+
+Upgrade all `@redwoodjs` packages via an interactive CLI.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood upgrade
+```
+
+This command does all the heavy-lifting of upgrading to a new release for you.
+
+Besides upgrading to a new stable release, you can use this command to upgrade to either of our unstable releases, `canary` and `rc`, or you can upgrade to a specific release version.
+
+A canary release is published to npm every time a PR is merged to the `main` branch, and when we're getting close to a new release, we publish release candidates.
+
+| Option | Description |
+| :-------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--dry-run, -d` | Check for outdated packages without upgrading |
+| `--tag, -t` | Choices are "rc", "canary", "latest", "next", "experimental", or a specific version (e.g. "0.19.3"). WARNING: Unstable releases in the case of "canary", "rc", "next", and "experimental". And "canary" releases include breaking changes often requiring codemods if upgrading a project. |
+
+#### Example
+
+Upgrade to the most recent canary:
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood upgrade -t canary
+```
+
+Upgrade to a specific version:
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood upgrade -t 0.19.3
+```
+
+## Background checks
+
+The CLI can check for things in the background, like new versions of the framework, while you dev.
+
+Right now it can only check for new versions.
+If you'd like it to do so, set `notifications.versionUpdates` in the `redwood.toml` file to include an array of the tags you're interested in hearing about.
+(The former has priority.)
+
+By default, the CLI won't check for upgrades—you have to opt into it.
+
+You'll see this notification once a day at most. And the CLI will check for it once a day at most. So, nothing heavy-handed going on here.

+description: Scale your serverless functions
+---
+
+# Connection Pooling
+
+> ⚠ **Work in Progress** ⚠️
+>
+> There's more to document here. In the meantime, you can check our [community forum](https://community.redwoodjs.com/search?q=connection%20pooling) for answers.
+>
+> Want to contribute? Redwood welcomes contributions and loves helping people become contributors.
+> You can edit this doc [here](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwoodjs.com/blob/main/docs/connectionPooling.md).
+> If you have any questions, just ask for help! We're active on the [forums](https://community.redwoodjs.com/c/contributing/9) and on [discord](https://discord.com/channels/679514959968993311/747258086569541703).
+
+Production Redwood apps should enable connection pooling in order to properly scale with your Serverless functions.
+
+## Prisma Data Proxy
+
+The [Prisma Data Proxy](https://www.prisma.io/docs/data-platform/data-proxy) provides database connection management and pooling for Redwood apps using Prisma. It supports MySQL and Postgres databases in either the U.S. or EU regions.
+
+To set up a Prisma Data Proxy, sign up for the [Prisma Data Platform](https://www.prisma.io/data-platform) for free. In your onboarding workflow, plug in the connection URL for your database and choose your region. This will generate a connection string for your app. Then follow the instructions in [Prisma's documentation](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/data-platform/data-proxy).
+
+> Note that the example uses npm. Rather than using npm, you can access the Prisma CLI using `yarn redwood prisma` inside a Redwood app.
+
+## Prisma & PgBouncer
+
+PgBouncer holds a connection pool to the database and proxies incoming client connections by sitting between Prisma Client and the database. This reduces the number of processes a database has to handle at any given time. PgBouncer passes on a limited number of connections to the database and queues additional connections for delivery when space becomes available.
+
+
+To use Prisma Client with PgBouncer from a serverless function, add the `?pgbouncer=true` flag to the PostgreSQL connection URL:
+
+```
+postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE?pgbouncer=true
+```
+
+Typically, your PgBouncer port will be 6543 which is different from the Postgres default of 5432.
+
+> Note that since Prisma Migrate uses database transactions to check out the current state of the database and the migrations table, if you attempt to run Prisma Migrate commands in any environment that uses PgBouncer for connection pooling, you might see an error.
+>
+> To work around this issue, you must connect directly to the database rather than going through PgBouncer when migrating.
+
+For more information on Prisma and PgBouncer, please refer to Prisma's Guide on [Configuring Prisma Client with PgBouncer](https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/performance-and-optimization/connection-management/configure-pg-bouncer).
+
+## Supabase
+
+For Postgres running on [Supabase](https://supabase.io) see: [PgBouncer is now available in Supabase](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/04/02/supabase-pgbouncer#using-connection-pooling-in-supabase).
+
+All new Supabase projects include connection pooling using [PgBouncer](https://www.pgbouncer.org/).
+
+We recommend that you connect to your Supabase Postgres instance using SSL which you can do by setting `sslmode` to `require` on the connection string:
+
+```
+// not pooled typically uses port 5432
+postgresql://postgres:mydb.supabase.co:5432/postgres?sslmode=require
+// pooled typically uses port 6543
+postgresql://postgres:mydb.supabase.co:6543/postgres?sslmode=require&pgbouncer=true
+```
+
+## Heroku
+For Postgres, see [Postgres Connection Pooling](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/postgres-connection-pooling).
+
+Heroku does not officially support MySQL.
+
+
+## Digital Ocean
+For Postgres, see [How to Manage Connection Pools](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/databases/postgresql/how-to/manage-connection-pools)
+
+To run migrations through a connection pool, you're required to append connection parameters to your `DATABASE_URL`. Prisma needs to know to use pgbouncer (which is part of Digital Ocean's connection pool). If omitted, you may receive the following error:
+
+```
+Error: Migration engine error:
+db error: ERROR: prepared statement "s0" already exists
+```
+
+To resolve this, use the following structure in your `DATABASE_URL`:
+
+```
+:25061/defaultdb?connection_limit=3&sslmode=require&pgbouncer=true&connect_timeout=10&pool_timeout=30
+```
+Here's a couple more things to be aware of:
+- When using a Digital Ocean connection pool, you'll have multiple ports available. Typically the direct connection (without connection pooling) is on port `25060` and the connection through pgbouncer is served through port `25061`. Make sure you connect to your connection pool on port `25061`
+- Adjust the `connection_limit`. Clusters provide 25 connections per 1 GB of RAM. Three connections per cluster are reserved for maintenance, and all remaining connections can be allocated to connection pools
+- Both `pgbouncer=true` and `pool_timeout=30` are required to deploy successfully through your connection pool
+
+Connection Pooling for MySQL is not yet supported.
+
+## AWS
+Use [Amazon RDS Proxy](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/proxy) for MySQL or PostgreSQL.
+
+From the [AWS Docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/rds-proxy.html#rds-proxy.limitations):
+>Your RDS Proxy must be in the same VPC as the database. The proxy can't be publicly accessible.
+
+Because of this limitation, with out-of-the-box configuration, you can only use RDS Proxy if you're deploying your Lambda Functions to the same AWS account. Alternatively, you can use RDS directly, but you might require larger instances to handle your production traffic and the number of concurrent connections.
+
+
+## Why Connection Pooling?
+
+Relational databases have a maximum number of concurrent client connections.
+
+* Postgres allows 100 by default
+* MySQL allows 151 by default
+
+In a traditional server environment, you would need a large amount of traffic (and therefore web servers) to exhaust these connections, since each web server instance typically leverages a single connection.
+
+In a Serverless environment, each function connects directly to the database, which can exhaust limits quickly. To prevent connection errors, you should add a connection pooling service in front of your database. Think of it as a load balancer.

+description: There's several ways to contribute to Redwood
+slug: contributing
+---
+
+# Contributing: Overview and Orientation
+
+Love Redwood and want to get involved? You’re in the right place and in good company! As of this writing, there are more than [250 contributors](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/README.md#contributors) who have helped make Redwood awesome by contributing code and documentation. This doesn't include all those who participate in the vibrant, helpful, and encouraging Forums and Discord, which are both great places to get started if you have any questions.
+
+There are several ways you can contribute to Redwood:
+
+- join the [community Forums](https://community.redwoodjs.com/) and [Discord server](https://discord.gg/jjSYEQd) — encourage and help others 🙌
+- [triage issues on the repo](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues) and [review PRs](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/pulls) 🩺
+- write and edit [docs](#contributing-docs) ✍️
+- and of course, write code! 👩💻
+
+_Before interacting with the Redwood community, please read and understand our [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md#contributor-covenant-code-of-conduct)._
+
+> ⚡️ **Quick Links**
+>
+> There are several contributing docs and references, each covering specific topics:
+>
+> 1. 🧭 **Overview and Orientation** (👈 you are here)
+> 2. 📓 [Reference: Contributing to the Framework Packages](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

+> - [Good First Issue](https://redwoodjs.com/good-first-issue)
+> - [Discovery Process and Open Issues](#what-should-i-work-on)
+
+## The Characteristics of a Contributor
+More than committing code, contributing is about human collaboration and relationship. Our community mantra is **“By helping each other be successful with Redwood, we make the Redwood project successful.”** We have a specific vision for the effect this project and community will have on you — it should give you superpowers to build+create, progress in skills, and help advance your career.
+
+So who do you need to become to achieve this? Specifically, what characteristics, skills, and capabilities will you need to cultivate through practice? Here are our suggestions:
+- Empathy
+- Gratitude
+- Generosity
+
+All of these are applicable in relation to both others and yourself. The goal of putting them into practice is to create trust that will be a catalyst for risk-taking (another word to describe this process is “learning”!). These are the ingredients necessary for productive, positive collaboration.
+
+And you thought all this was just about opening a PR 🤣 Yes, it’s a super rewarding experience. But that’s just the beginning!
+
+## What should I work on?
+Even if you know the mechanics, it’s hard to get started without a starting place. Our best advice is this — dive into the Redwood Tutorial, read the docs, and build your own experiment with Redwood. Along the way, you’ll find typos, out-of-date (or missing) documentation, code that could work better, or even opportunities for improving and adding features. You’ll be engaging in the Forums and Chat and developing a feel for priorities and needs. This way, you’ll naturally follow your own interests and sooner than later intersect “things you’re interested in” + “ways to help improve Redwood”.
+
+There are other more direct ways to get started as well, which are outlined below.
+
+### Project Boards and GitHub Issues
+
+The Redwood Core Team is working publicly — progress is updated daily on the [Release Project Board](https://github.com/orgs/redwoodjs/projects/11).
+
+Eventually, all this leads you back to Redwood’s GitHub Issues page. Here you’ll find open items that need help, which are organized by labels. There are four labels helpful for contributing:
+1. [Good First Issue](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22): these items are more likely to be an accessible entry point to the Framework. It’s less about skill level and more about focused scope.
+2. [Help Wanted](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22): these items especially need contribution help from the community.
+3. [Bugs 🐛](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug%2Fconfirmed): last but not least, we always need help with bugs. Some are technically less challenging than others. Sometimes the best way you can help is to attempt to reproduce the bug and confirm whether or not it’s still an issue.
+
+### Create a New Issue
+Anyone can create a new Issue. If you’re not sure that your feature or idea is something to work on, start the discussion with an Issue. Describe the idea and problem + solution as clearly as possible, including examples or pseudo code if applicable. It’s also very helpful to `@` mention a maintainer or Core Team member that shares the area of interest.
+
+Just know that there’s a lot of Issues that shuffle every day. If no one replies, it’s just because people are busy. Reach out in the Forums, Chat, or comment in the Issue. We intend to reply to every Issue that’s opened. If yours doesn’t have a reply, then give us a nudge!
+
+Lastly, it can often be helpful to start with brief discussion in the community Chat or Forums. Sometimes that’s the quickest way to get feedback and a sense of priority before opening an Issue.
+
+## Contributing Code
+
+Redwood's composed of many packages that are designed to work together. Some of these packages are designed to be used outside Redwood too!
+
+Before you start contributing, you'll want to set up your local development environment. The Redwood repo's top-level [contributing guide](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#local-development) walks you through this. Make sure to give it an initial read.
+
+For details on contributing to a specific package, see the package's README (links provided in the table below). Each README has a section named Roadmap. If you want to get involved but don't quite know how, the Roadmap's a good place to start. See anything that interests you? Go for it! And be sure to let us know—you don't have to have a finished product before opening an issue or pull request. In fact, we're big fans of [Readme Driven Development](https://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven-development.html).
+
+What you want to do not on the roadmap? Well, still go for it! We love spikes and proof-of-concepts. And if you have a question, just ask!

+
+## Contributing Docs
+
+First off, thank you for your interest in contributing docs! Redwood prides itself on good developer experience, and that includes good documentation.
+
+Before you get started, there's an implicit doc-distinction that we should make explicit: all the docs on redwoodjs.com are for helping people develop apps using Redwood, while all the docs on the Redwood repo are for helping people contribute to Redwood.
+
+Although Developing and Contributing docs are in different places, they most definitely should be linked and referenced as needed. For example, it's appropriate to have a "Contributing" doc on redwoodjs.com that's context-appropriate, but it should link to the Framework's [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) (the way this doc does).
+
+### How Redwood Thinks about Docs
+
+Before we get into the how-to, a little explanation. When thinking about docs, we find [divio's documentation system](https://documentation.divio.com/) really useful. It's not necessary that a doc always have all four of the dimensions listed, but if you find yourself stuck, you can ask yourself questions like "Should I be explaining? Am I explaining too much? Too little?" to reorient yourself while writing.
+
+### Docs for Developing Redwood Apps
+
+redwoodjs.com has three kinds of Developing docs: References, How To's, and The Tutorial.
+You can find References and How To's within their respective directories on the redwood/redwood repo: [docs/](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/tree/main/docs) and [how-to/](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/tree/main/docs/how-to).
+
+The Tutorial is a standalone document that serves a specific purpose as an introduction to Redwood, an aspirational roadmap, and an example of developer experience. As such, it's distinct from the categories mentioned, although it's most similar to How To's.
+
+#### References
+
+References are explanation-driven how-to content. They're more direct and to-the-point than The Tutorial and How To's. The idea is much more about finding something or getting something done than any kind of learning journey.
+
+Before you take on a doc, you should read [Forms](forms.md) and [Router](router.md); they have the kind of content you should be striving for. They're comprehensive yet conversational.
+
+In general, don't be afraid to go into too much detail. We'd rather you err on the side of too much than too little. One tip for finding good content is searching the forum and repo for "prior art"—what are people talking about where this comes up?
+
+#### How To's
+
+How To's are tutorial-style content focused on a specific problem-solution. They usually have a beginner in mind (if not, they should indicate that they don't—put 'Advanced' or 'Deep-Dive', etc., in the title or introduction). How To's may include some explanatory text as asides, but they shouldn't be the majority of the content.
+
+#### Making a Doc Findable
+
+If you write it, will they read it? We think they will—if they can find it.
+
+After you've finished writing, step back for a moment and consider the word(s) or phrase(s) people will use to find what you just wrote. For example, let's say you were writing a doc about configuring a Redwood app. If you didn't know much about configuring a Redwood app, a heading (in the nav bar to the left) like "redwood.toml" wouldn't make much sense, even though it _is_ the main configuration file. You'd probably look for "Redwood Config" or "Settings", or type "how to change Redwood App settings" in the "Search the docs" bar up top, or in Google.
+
+That is to say, the most useful headings aren't always the most literal ones. Indexing is more than just underlining the "important" words in a text—it's identifying and locating the concepts and topics that are the most relevant to our readers, the users of our documentation.
+
+So, after you've finished writing, reread what you wrote with the intention of making a list of two to three keywords or phrases. Then, try to use each of those in three places, in this order of priority:
+
+- the left-nav menu title
+- the page title or the first right-nav ("On this page") section title
+- the introductory paragraph
+
+### Docs for Contributing to the Redwood Repo
+
+These docs are in the Framework repo, redwoodjs/redwood, and explain how to contribute to Redwood packages. They're the docs linked to in the table above.
+
+In general, they should consist of more straightforward explanations, are allowed to be technically heavy, and should be written for a more experienced audience. But as a best practice for collaborative projects, they should still provide a Vision + Roadmap and identify the project-point person(s) (or lead(s)).
+
+## What makes for a good Pull Request?
+In general, we don’t have a formal structure for PRs. Our goal is to make it as efficient as possible for anyone to open a PR. But there are some good practices, which are flexible. Just keep in mind that after opening a PR there’s more to do before getting to the finish line:
+1. Reviews from other contributors and maintainers
+2. Update code and, after maintainer approval, merge-in changes to the `main` branch
+3. Once PR is merged, it will be released and added to the next version Release Notes with a link for anyone to look at the PR and understand it.
+
+Some tips and advice:
+- **Connect the dots and leave a breadcrumb**: link to related Issues, Forum discussions, etc. Help others follow the trail leading up to this PR.
+- **A Helpful Description**: What does the code in the PR do and what problem does it solve? How can someone use the code? Code sample, Screenshot, Quick Video… Any or all of this is so so good.
+- **Draft or Work in Progress**: You don’t have to finish the code to open a PR. Once you have a start, open it up! Most often the best way to move an Issue forward is to see the code in action. Also, often this helps identify ways forward before you spend a lot of time polishing.
+- **Questions, Items for Discussion, Etc.**: Another reason to open a Draft PR is to ask questions and get direction via review.
+- **Loop in a Maintainer for Feedback and Review**: ping someone with an `@`. And nudge again in a few days if there’s no reply. We appreciate it and truly don’t want the PR to get lost in the shuffle!
+- **Next Steps**: Once the PR is merged, will there be a follow up step? If so, link to an Issue. How about Docs to-do or Docs to-merge?
+
+The best thing you can do is look through existing PRs, which will give you a feel for how things work and what you think is helpful.
+
+### Example PR
+If you’re looking for an example of “what makes a good PR”, look no further than this one by Kim-Adeline:
+- [Convert component generator to TS #632](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/pull/632)
+
+Not every PR needs this much information. But it’s definitely helpful when it does!

+
+## The Full Workflow: From Local Development to a New PR
+
+### Definitions
+#### Redwood “Project”
+We refer to the codebase of a Redwood application as a Project. This is what you install when you run `yarn create redwood-app `. It’s the thing you are building with Redwood.
+
+Lastly, you’ll find the template used to create a new project (when you run create redwood-app) here in GitHub: [redwoodjs/redwood/packages/create-redwood-app/template/](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/tree/main/packages/create-redwood-app/template)
+
+We refer to this as the **CRWA Template or Project Template**.
+
+#### Redwood “Framework”
+The Framework is the codebase containing all the packages (and other code) that is published on NPMjs.com as `@redwoodjs/`. The Framework repository on GitHub is here: [https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood)
+
+### Development tools
+These are the tools used and recommended by the Core Team.
+
+**VS Code**
+[Download VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)
+This has quickly become the de facto editor for JavaScript and TypeScript. Additionally, we have added recommended VS Code Extensions to use when developing both the Framework and a Project. You’ll see a pop-up window asking you about installing the extensions when you open up the code.
+
+**GitHub Desktop**
+[Download GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com)
+You’ll need to be comfortable using Git at the command line. But the thing we like best about GitHub Desktop is how easy it makes workflow across GitHub -- GitHub Desktop -- VS Code. You don’t have to worry about syncing permissions or finding things. You can start from a repo on GitHub.com and use Desktop to do everything from “clone and open on your computer” to returning back to the site to “open a PR on GitHub”.
+
+**[Mac OS] iTerm and Oh-My-Zsh**
+There’s nothing wrong with Terminal (on Mac) and plain zsh or bash. (If you’re on Windows, we highly recommend using Git for Windows and Git bash.) But we enjoy using iTerm2 ([download](https://iterm2.com)) and zsh much more (combined with [Oh My Zsh](https://ohmyz.sh)). Heads up, you can get lost in the world of theming and adding plugins. We recommend keeping it simple for awhile before taking the customization deep dive
+😉.
+
+**[Windows] Git for Windows with Git Bash or WSL(2)**
+Unfortunately, there are a lot of “gotchas” when it comes to working with Javascript-based frameworks on Windows. We do our best to point out (and resolve) issues, but our priority focus is on developing a Redwood app vs contributing to the Framework. (If you’re interested, there’s a lengthy Forum conversation about this with many suggestions.)
+
+All that said, we highly recommend using one of the following setups to maximize your workflow:
+1. Use [Git for Windows and Git Bash](how-to/windows-development-setup.md) (included in installation)
+2. Use [WSL following this setup guide on the Forums](https://community.redwoodjs.com/t/windows-subsystem-for-linux-setup/2439)
+
+Lastly, the new Gitpod integration is a great option and only getting better. You might just want to start using it from the beginning (see section below in “Local Development Setup”).
+
+**Gitpod**
+We recently added an integration with [Gitpod](http://gitpod.io) that automatically creates a Framework dev workspace, complete with test project, in a browser-based VS Code environment. It’s pretty amazing and we highly recommend giving it a shot. (If you’re developing on Windows, it’s also an amazing option for you anytime you run into something that isn’t working correctly or supported.)
+
+But don’t skip out reading the following steps in “Local Development Setup” — Gitpod uses the same workflow and tools to initialize. If you want to develop in Gitpod, you’ll need to understand how it all works.
+
+But when you’re ready, learn how to use it in the section at the end [“GitPod: Browser-based Development”](#gitpod-browser-based-development).
+
+### Local Development Setup
+#### Step 1: Redwood Framework
+1. **Fork the [Redwood Framework](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood)** into a personal repo
+2. Using GitHub Desktop, **open the Framework Codebase** in a VS Code workspace
+3. Commands to “**start fresh**” when working on the Framework
+ - `yarn install`: This installs the package dependencies in /node_modules using Yarn package manager. This command is the same as just typing `yarn`. Also, if you ever switch branches and want to make sure the install dependencies are correct, you can run `yarn install --force` (shorthand `yarn -f`).
+ - `git clean -fxd`: *You’ll only need to do this if you’ve already been developing and want to “start over” and reset your codebase*. This command will permanently delete everything that is .gitignored, e.g. /node_modules and /dist directories with package builds. When switching between branches, this command makes sure nothing is carried over that you don’t want. (Warning: it will delete .env files in a Redwood Project. To avoid this, you can use `git clean -fxd -e .env`.)
+4. **Create a new branch** from the `main` branch
+First make sure you’ve pulled all changes from the remote origin (GitHub repo) into your local branch. (If you just cloned from your fork, you should be up to date.) Then create a new branch. The nomenclature used by David Price is `-description-with-hyphens`, e.g. `dsp-add-eslint-config-redwood-toml`. It's simple to use VS Code or GitHub Desktop to manage branches. You can also do this via the CLI git checkout command.
+
+#### Step 2: Test Project
+There are several options for creating a local Redwood Project to use during development. Anytime you are developing against a test project, there are some specific gotchas to keep in mind:
+- New projects always use the latest stable version of the Redwood packages, which will not be up to date with the latest Framework code in the `main` branch.
+- To use the packages corresponding with the latest code in the Framework `main` branch, you can use the canary version published to NPM. All you need to do to install the canary versions is run `yarn rw upgrade --tag canary` in your Project
+- Using a cloned project or repo? Just know there are likely breaking changes in `main` that haven’t been applied. You can examine merged PRs with the “breaking” label for more info.
+- Just because you are using canary doesn’t mean you are using your local Framework branch code! Make sure you run `yarn rwfw project:sync`. And anytime you switch branches or get out of sync, you might need to start over beginning with the `git clean -fxd` command
+
+With those details out of the way, now is the time to choose an option below that meets your needs based on functionality and codebase version.
+
+**Build a Functional Test Project [Recommended]**
+1. 👉 **Use the build script to create a test project**: From the Framework root directory, run `yarn build:test-project `. This command installs a new project using the Template codebase from your current Framework branch, it then adds Tutorial features, and finally it initializes the DB (with seed data!). It should work 90% of the time and is the recommended starting place. We also use this out-of-the-box with Gitpod.
+
+**Other Options to create a project**
+
+2. **Install a fresh project using the local Framework template code:** Sometimes you need to create a project that uses the Template codebase in your local branch of the Framework, e.g. your changes include modifications to the CRWA Template and need to be tested. Running the command above is exactly the same as `yarn create redwood- app …`, only it runs the command from your local Framework package using the local Template codebase. Note: this is the same command used at the start of the `yarn build:test-project` command.
+```
+yarn babel-node packages/create-redwood-app/src/create-redwood-app.js
+```
+
+3. **Clone the Redwood Tutorial App repo:** This is the codebase to use when starting the Redwood Tutorial Part 2. It is updated to the latest version and has the Blog features. This is often something we use for local development. Note: be sure to upgrade to canary and look out for breaking changes coming with the next release.
+
+
+4. **Install a fresh project**: `yarn create redwood-app ` If you just need a fresh installation 1) using the latest version template codebase and 2) without any features, then just install a new Redwood project. Note: this can have the same issues regarding the need to upgrade to canary and addressing breaking changes (see Notes from items 2 and 3 above).
+
+> Note: All the options above currently set the language to JavaScript. If you would like to work with TypeScript, you can add the option `--typescript` to either of the commands that run the create-redwood-app installation.
+
+#### Step 3: Link the local Framework with the local test Project
+Once you work on the Framework code, you’ll most often want to run the code in a Redwood app for testing. However, the Redwood Project you created for testing is currently using the latest version (or canary) packages of Redwood published on NPMjs.com, e.g. [@redwoodjs/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@redwoodjs/core)
+
+So we’ll use the Redwood Framework (rwfw) command to connect our local Framework and test Projects, which allows the Project to run on the code for Packages we are currently developing.
+
+Run this command from the CLI in your test Project:
+```
+RWFW_PATH= yarn rwfw project:sync
+```
+
+For Example:
+```
+cd redwood-project
+RWFW_PATH=~/redwood yarn rwfw project:sync
+```
+
+RWFW_PATH is the path to your local copy of the Redwood Framework. _Once provided to rwfw, it'll remember it and you shouldn't have to provide it again unless you move it._
+
+> **Heads up for Windows Devs**
+> Depending on your dev setup, Windows might balk at you setting the env var RWFW_PATH at the beginning of the command like this. If so, try prepending with `cross-env`, e.g. `yarn cross-env RWFW_PATH=~/redwood yarn rwfw` ... Or you can add the env var and value directly to your shell before running the command.
+
+As project:sync starts up, it'll start logging to the console. In order, it:
+1. cleans and builds the framework
+2. copies the framework's dependencies to your project
+3. runs yarn install in your project
+4. copies over the framework's packages to your project
+5. waits for changes
+
+Step two is the only explicit change you'll see to your project. You'll see that a ton of packages have been added to your project's root package.json.
+
+All done? You’re ready to kill the link process with “ctrl + c”. You’ll need to confirm your root package.json no longer has the added dependencies. And, if you want to reset your test-project, you should run `yarn install --force`.
+
+#### Step 4: Framework Package(s) Local Testing
+Within your Framework directory, use the following tools and commands to test your code:
+1. **Build the packages**: `yarn build`
+ - to delete all previous build directories: yarn build:clean
+2. **Syntax and Formatting**: `yarn lint`
+ - to fix errors or warnings: `yarn lint:fix`
+3. **Run unit tests for each package**: `yarn test`
+4. **Run through the Cypress E2E integration tests**: `yarn e2e`
+5. **Check Yarn resolutions and package.json format**: `yarn check`
+
+All of these checks are included in Redwood’s GitHub PR Continuous Integration (CI) automation. However, it’s good practice to understand what they do by using them locally. The E2E tests aren’t something we use every time anymore (because it takes a while), but you should learn how to use it because it comes in handy when your code is failing tests on GitHub and you need to diagnose.
+
+> **Heads up for Windows Devs**
+> The Cypress E2E does *not* work on Windows. Two options are available if needed:
+> 1. Use Gitpod (see related section for info)
+> 2. When you create a PR, just ask for help from a maintainer
+
+#### Step 5: Open a PR 🚀
+You’ve made it to the fun part! It’s time to use the code you’re working on to create a new PR into the Redwood Framework `main` branch.
+
+We use GitHub Desktop to walk through the process of:
+- Committing my changes to my development branch
+- Publishing (pushing) my branch and changes to my GitHub repo fork of the Redwood Framework
+- Opening a PR requesting to merge my forked-repo branch into the Redwood Framework `main` branch
+
+> While we use GitHub Desktop as an example, the basic process outlined above is the same whether using the command line or other clients.
+
+1. **Commit Files:** Using GitHub Desktop, browse to your local Redwood Framework repository and select the current branch you're working on. On the left-hand side, you'll see the files that have been modified, added, or removed. Check the boxes for the files you want to include in the PR. Below the file list, you'll see two text boxes and a "Commit to <your-branch-name>" button. Write a short commit message in the first box. If you want to add a longer description then you can do so in the second box. Click the "Commit to ..." button to commit the changes to the branch. The files are now committed under that commit message.
+
+2. **Push Files:** After committing, you should see an option appear with the count of local commits and a button to "Push origin." If you're ready to push those changes to the remote branch, click that button. Otherwise, you can keep working and add more commits using the process in step 1.
+
+3. **Create Pull Request:** Once the commit(s) have been pushed, you should see another option for "Create Pull Request." This will open a browser window to GitHub's "Open a pull request" form. Fill out the appropriate information, check the box to "Allow edits by maintainers," and submit!
+
+> If you are following along and are not using GitHub Desktop, after pushing your commits, you can open a pull request by visiting [github.com](https://github.com) and browsing to your fork. There should be a button at the top to submit a pull request.
+
+You have successfully submitted your PR!
+
+**Note:** Make sure you check the box that allows project maintainers to update your branch. This option is found on the "Open a pull request" form below the description textbox. Checking this option helps move a PR forward more quickly, as branches always need to be updated from `main` before we can merge.
+
+**When is my code “ready” to open a PR?**
+Most of the action, communication, and decisions happen within a PR. A common mistake new contributors make is *waiting* until their code is “perfect” before opening a PR. Assuming your PR has some code changes, it’s great practice to open a [Draft PR](https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/) (setting during the PR creation), which you can use to start discussion and ask questions. PRs are closed all the time without being merged, often because they are replaced by another PR resulting from decisions and discussion. It’s part of the process. More importantly, it means collaboration is happening!
+
+What isn’t a fun experience is spending a whole bunch of time on code that ends up not being the correct direction or is unnecessary/redundant to something that already exists. This is a part of the learning process. But it’s another reason to open a draft PR sooner than later to get confirmation and questions out of the way before investing time into refining and details.
+
+When in doubt, just try first and ask for help and direction!
+
+Refer to the [What makes for a good Pull Request?](contributing-overview.md#what-makes-for-a-good-pull-request) section in [Contributing Overview](contributing-overview.md)for general good practices when opening PR.
+
+### Gitpod: Browser-based Development
+[Gitpod](http://gitpod.io) has recently been integrated with Redwood to JustWork™ with any branch or PR. When a virtual Gitpod workspace is initialized, it automatically:
+1. Checks-out the code from your branch or PR
+2. Run Yarn installation
+3. Creates the functional Test Project via `yarn build:test-project`
+4. Syncs the Framework code with the Test Project
+5. Starts the Test Project dev server
+6. 🤯
+
+> **Chrome works best**
+> We’ve noticed some bugs using Gitpod with either Brave or Safari. Currently we recommend sticking to Chrome (although it’s worth trying out Edge and Firefox).
+
+**Demo of Gitpod**
+David briefly walks-through an automatically prebuilt Gitpod workspace here:
+- [Gitpod + RedwoodJS 3-minute Walkthrough](https://youtu.be/_kMuTW3x--s)
+
+Make sure you watch until the end where David shows how to set up your integration with GitHub and VS Code sync. 🤩
+
+**Start a Gitpod Workspace**
+There are two ways to get started with Gitpod + Redwood.
+
+*Option 1: Open a PR*
+Every PR will trigger a Gitpod prebuild using the PR branch. Just look for Gitpod in the list of checks at the bottom of the PR — click the “Details” link and away you’ll go!
+
+
+
+*Option 2: Use the link from your project or branch*
+
+You can initialize a workspace using this URL pattern:
+
+```
+https://gitpod.io/#
+```
+
+For example, this link will start a workspace using the RedwoodJS main branch:
+- https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood
+
+And this link will start a workspace for a PR #3434:
+- https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/pull/3434

+title: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
+description: For when you need to worry about CORS
+---
+
+# CORS
+
+CORS stands for [Cross Origin Resource Sharing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS). In a nutshell, by default, browsers aren't allowed to access resources outside their own domain.
+
+## When you need to worry about CORS
+
+If your api and web sides are deployed to different domains, you'll have to worry about CORS. For example, if your web side is deployed to `example.com` but your api is `api.example.com`. For security reasons your browser will not allow XHR requests (like the kind that the GraphQL client makes) to a domain other than the one currently in the browser's address bar.
+
+This will become obvious when you point your browser to your site and see none of your GraphQL data. When you look in the web inspector you'll see a message along the lines of:
+
+> ⛔️ Access to fetch https://api.example.com has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
+
+## Avoiding CORS
+
+Dealing with CORS can complicate your app and make it harder to deploy to new hosts, run in different environments, etc. Is there a way to avoid CORS altogether?
+
+Yes! If you can add a proxy between your web and api sides, all requests will *appear* to be going to and from the same domain (the web side, even though behind the scenes they are forwarded somewhere else). This functionality is included automatically with hosts like [Netlify](https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/rewrites-proxies/#proxy-to-another-service) or [Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/cli#project-configuration/rewrites). With a host like [Render](https://render-web.onrender.com/docs/deploy-redwood#deployment) you can enable a proxy with a simple config option. Most providers should provide this functionality through a combination of provider-specific config and/or web server configuration.
+
+## GraphQL Config
+
+You'll need to add CORS headers to GraphQL responses. You can do this easily enough by adding the `cors` option in `api/src/functions/graphql.js` (or `graphql.ts`):
+
+```diff
+export const handler = createGraphQLHandler({
+ loggerConfig: { logger, options: {} },
+ directives,
+ sdls,
+ services,
++ cors: {
++ origin: 'https://www.example.com', // <-- web side domain
++ },
+ onException: () => {
+ db.$disconnect()
+ },
+})
+```
+
+Note that the `origin` needs to be a complete URL including the scheme (`https`). This is the domain that requests are allowed to come *from*. In this example we assume the web side is served from `https://www.example.com`. If you have multiple servers that should be allowed to access the api, you can pass an array of them instead:
+
+```jsx
+cors: {
+ origin: ['https://example.com', 'https://www.example.com']
+},
+```
+
+The proper one will be included in the CORS header depending on where the response came from.
+
+## Authentication Config
+
+The following config only applies if you're using [dbAuth](authentication.md#self-hosted-auth-installation-and-setup), which is Redwood's own cookie-based auth system.
+
+You'll need to configure several things:
+
+* Add CORS config for GraphQL
+* Add CORS config for the auth function
+* Cookie config for the auth function
+* Allow sending of credentials in GraphQL XHR requests
+* Allow sending of credentials in auth function requests
+
+Here's how you configure each of these:
+
+### GraphQL CORS Config
+
+You'll need to add CORS headers to GraphQL responses, and let the browser know to send up cookies with any requests. Add the `cors` option in `api/src/functions/graphql.js` (or `graphql.ts`) with an additional `credentials` property:
+
+```diff
+export const handler = createGraphQLHandler({
+ loggerConfig: { logger, options: {} },
+ directives,
+ sdls,
+ services,
++ cors: {
++ origin: 'https://www.example.com', // <-- web side domain
++ credentials: true,
++ },
+ onException: () => {
+ db.$disconnect()
+ },
+})
+```
+
+`origin` is the domain(s) that requests come *from* (the web side).
+
+### Auth CORS Config
+
+Similar to the `cors` options being sent to GraphQL, you can set similar options in `api/src/functions/auth.js` (or `auth.ts`):
+
+```diff
+const authHandler = new DbAuthHandler(event, context, {
+ db: db,
+ authModelAccessor: 'user',
+ authFields: {
+ id: 'id',
+ username: 'email',
+ hashedPassword: 'hashedPassword',
+ salt: 'salt',
+ resetToken: 'resetToken',
+ resetTokenExpiresAt: 'resetTokenExpiresAt',
+ },
++ cors: {
++ origin: 'https://www.example.com', // <-- web side domain
++ credentials: true,
++ },
+ cookie: {
+ HttpOnly: true,
+ Path: '/',
+ SameSite: 'Strict',
+ Secure: true,
+ },
+ forgotPassword: forgotPasswordOptions,
+ login: loginOptions,
+ resetPassword: resetPasswordOptions,
+ signup: signupOptions,
+})
+```
+
+Just like the GraphQL config, `origin` is the domain(s) that requests come *from* (the web side).
+
+### Cookie Config
+
+In order to be able accept cookies from another domain we'll need to make a change to the `SameSite` option in `api/src/functions/auth.js` and set it to `None`:
+
+```jsx {4}
+ cookie: {
+ HttpOnly: true,
+ Path: '/',
+ SameSite: 'None',
+ Secure: true,
+ },
+```
+
+### GraphQL XHR Credentials
+
+Next we need to tell the GraphQL client to include credentials (the dbAuth cookie) in any requests. This config goes in `web/src/App.{ts,js}`:
+
+```jsx {7-12}
+import { AuthProvider, useAuth } from 'src/auth'
+
+const App = () => (
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+)
+```
+
+### Auth XHR Credentials
+
+Finally, we need to tell dbAuth to include credentials in its own XHR requests. We'll do this within `web/src/auth.{ts,js}` when creating the `AuthProvider`:
+
+```jsx {3-5}
+import { createDbAuthClient, createAuth } from '@redwoodjs/auth-dbauth-web'
+
+const dbAuthClient = createDbAuthClient({
+ fetchConfig: { credentials: 'include' },
+})
+
+export const { AuthProvider, useAuth } = createAuth(dbAuthClient)
+```
+
+## Testing CORS Locally
+
+If you've made the configuration changes above, `localhost` testing should continue working as normal. But, if you want to make sure your CORS config works without deploying to the internet somewhere, you'll need to do some extra work.
+
+### Serving Sides to the Internet
+
+First, you need to get the web and api sides to be serving from different hosts. A tool like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or [localhost.run](https://localhost.run/) allows you to serve your local development environment over a real domain to the rest of the internet (on both `http` and `https`).
+
+You'll need to start two tunnels, one for the web side (this example assumes ngrok):
+
+```bash
+> ngrok http 8910
+
+Session Status online
+Account Your Name (Plan: Pro)
+Version 2.3.40
+Region United States (us)
+Web Interface http://127.0.0.1:4040
+Forwarding http://3c9913de0c00.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8910
+Forwarding https://3c9913de0c00.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8910
+```
+
+And another for the api side:
+
+```bash
+> ngrok http 8911
+
+Session Status online
+Account Your Name (Plan: Pro)
+Version 2.3.40
+Region United States (us)
+Web Interface http://127.0.0.1:4040
+Forwarding http://fb6d701c44b5.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8911
+Forwarding https://fb6d701c44b5.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8911
+```
+
+Note the two different domains. Copy the `https` domain from the api side because we'll need it in a moment. Even if the Redwood dev server isn't running you can leave these tunnels running, and when the dev server *does* start, they'll just start on those domains again.
+
+### `redwood.toml` Config
+
+You'll need to make two changes here:
+
+1. Bind the server to all network interfaces
+2. Point the web side to the api's domain
+
+Normally the dev server only binds to `127.0.0.1` (home sweet home) which means you can only access it from your local machine using `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`. To tell it to bind to all network interfaces, and to be available to the outside world, add this `host` option:
+
+```toml {4}
+[web]
+ title = "Redwood App"
+ port = 8910
+ host = '0.0.0.0'
+ apiUrl = '/.redwood/functions'
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = []
+[api]
+ port = 8911
+[browser]
+ open = true
+```
+
+We'll also need to tell the web side where the api side lives. Update the `apiUrl` to whatever domain your api side is running on (remember the domain you copied from from ngrok):
+
+```toml {5}
+[web]
+ title = "Redwood App"
+ port = 8910
+ host = '0.0.0.0'
+ apiUrl = 'https://fb6d701c44b5.ngrok.io'
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = []
+[api]
+ port = 8911
+[browser]
+ open = true
+```
+
+Where you get this domain from will depend on how you expose your app to the outside world (this example assumes ngrok).
+
+### Starting the Dev Server
+
+You'll need to apply an option when starting the dev server to tell it to accept requests from any host, not just `localhost`:
+
+```bash
+> yarn rw dev --fwd="--allowed-hosts all"
+```
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+Now you should be able to open the web side's domain in a browser and use your site as usual. Test that GraphQL requests work, as well as authentication if you are using dbAuth.

+description: Instructions and usage examples for Create Redwood App
+---
+
+# Create Redwood App
+
+To get up and running with Redwood, you can use Create Redwood App:
+
+```terminal
+yarn create redwood-app
+```
+
+## Set up for success
+Redwood requires that you're running Node version 20 or higher.
+
+If you're running Node version 21.0.0 or higher, you can still use Create Redwood App, but it may make your project incompatible with some deploy targets, such as AWS Lambdas.
+
+To see what version of Node you're running, you can run the following command in your terminal:
+
+```terminal
+node -v
+```
+
+If you need to update your version of Node or run multiple versions of Node, we recommend installing nvm and have [documentation about how to get up and running.](./how-to/using-nvm)
+
+You also need to have yarn version 1.22.21 or higher installed. To see what version of yarn you're running, you can run the following command in your terminal:
+
+```terminal
+yarn -v
+```
+
+To upgrade your version of yarn, [you can refer to the yarn documentation](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install).
+
+## What you can expect
+
+### Select your preferred language
+Options: TypeScript (default) or JavaScript
+
+If you choose JavaScript, you can always [add TypeScript later](/docs/typescript/introduction#converting-a-javascript-project-to-typescript).
+
+### Do you want to initialize a git repo?
+Options: yes (default) or no
+
+If you mark "yes", then it will ask you to **Enter a commit message**. The default message is "Initial commit."
+
+You can always initialize a git repo later and add a commit message by running the following commands in your terminal:
+
+```terminal
+cd
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial commit"
+```
+
+If you're new to git, here's a recommended playlist on YouTube: [git for Beginners](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrz61zkUHJJFmfTgOVL1mBw_NZcgGe882)
+
+### Do you want to run `yarn install`?
+Options: yes (default) or no
+
+_NOTE: This prompt will only display if you're running yarn, version 1._
+
+This command will download all of your project's dependencies.
+
+If you mark "no", you can always run this command later:
+
+```terminal
+cd
+yarn install
+```
+
+## Running the development server
+
+Once the Create Redwood app has finished running, you can start your development server by running the following command:
+
+```terminal
+cd
+yarn rw dev
+```
+
+- This will start your development server at `http://localhost:8910`.
+- Your API will be available at `http://localhost:8911`.
+- You can visit the Redwood GraphQL Playground at `http://localhost:8911/graphql`.
+
+## Flags
+You can by pass these prompts by using the following flags:
+
+| Flag | Alias | What it does |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `--yarn-install` | | Run `yarn install` |
+| `--typescript` | `ts` | Set TypeScript as the preferred language (pass `--no-typescript` to use JavaScript) |
+| `--overwrite` | | Overwrites the existing directory, if it has the same name |
+| `--git-init` | `git` | Initializes a git repository |
+| `--commit-message "Initial commit"` | `m` | Specifies the initial git commit message |
+| `--yes` | `y` | Automatically select all defaults |
+
+For example, here's the project with all flags enabled:
+
+```terminal
+yarn create redwood-app --typescript --git-init --commit-message "Initial commit" --yarn-install
+```
+

+description: Change how App mounts to the DOM
+---
+
+# Custom Web Index
+
+:::warning This doc only applies to projects using Webpack
+
+As of v6, all Redwood projects use Vite by default.
+When switching projects to Vite, we made the decision to add the the entry file, `web/src/entry.client.{jsx,tsx}`, back to projects.
+
+If you're using Webpack, this is all still applicable—keep reading.
+
+:::
+
+You may have noticed that there's no call to `ReactDOM.render` in your Redwood app.
+That's because Redwood automatically mounts the `App` component in `web/src/App.js` to the DOM.
+But if you need to customize how this happens, you can provide a file named `index.js` in `web/src` and Redwood will use that instead.
+
+## Setup
+
+To make this easy, there's a setup command that'll give you the file you need where you need it:
+
+```
+yarn rw setup custom-web-index
+```
+
+This generates a file named `index.js` in `web/src` that looks like this:
+
+```jsx title="web/src/index.js"
+import { hydrateRoot, createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'
+
+import App from './App'
+/**
+ * When `#redwood-app` isn't empty then it's very likely that you're using
+ * prerendering. So React attaches event listeners to the existing markup
+ * rather than replacing it.
+ * https://reactjs.org/docs/react-dom.html#hydrate
+ */
+const rootElement = document.getElementById('redwood-app')
+
+if (rootElement.hasChildNodes()) {
+ hydrateRoot(redwoodAppElement, )
+} else {
+ const root = createRoot(redwoodAppElement)
+ root.render( )
+}
+```
+
+This's actually the same file Redwood uses [internally](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/packages/web/src/entry/index.js).
+So even if you don't customize anything, things still work the way they did.

+description: Track changes to database content
+---
+
+# Data Migrations
+
+> Data Migrations are available as of RedwoodJS v0.15
+
+There are two kinds of changes you can make to your database:
+
+* Changes to structure
+* Changes to content
+
+In Redwood, [Prisma Migrate](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-migrate) takes care of codifying changes to your database *structure* in code by creating a snapshot of changes to your database that can be reliably repeated to end up in some known state.
+
+To track changes to your database *content*, Redwood includes a feature we call **Data Migration**. As your app evolves and you move data around, you need a way to consistently declare how that data should move.
+
+Imagine a `User` model that contains several columns for user preferences. Over time, you may end up with more and more preferences to the point that you have more preference-related columns in the table than you do data unique to the user! This is a common occurrence as applications grow. You decide that the app should have a new model, `Preference`, to keep track of them all (and `Preference` will have a foreign key `userId` to reference it back to its `User`). You'll use Prisma Migrate to create the new `Preference` model, but how do you copy the preference data to the new table? Data migrations to the rescue!
+
+## Installing
+
+Just like Prisma, we will store which data migrations have run in the database itself. We'll create a new database table `DataMigration` to keep track of which ones have run already.
+
+Rather than create this model by hand, Redwood includes a CLI tool to add the model to `schema.prisma` and create the DB migration that adds the table to the database:
+```
+yarn rw data-migrate install
+```
+You'll see a new directory created at `api/db/dataMigrations` which will store our individual migration tasks.
+
+Take a look at `schema.prisma` to see the new model definition:
+
+```jsx title="api/db/schema.prisma"
+model RW_DataMigration {
+ version String @id
+ name String
+ startedAt DateTime
+ finishedAt DateTime
+}
+```
+
+The install script also ran `yarn rw prisma migrate dev --create-only` automatically so you have a DB migration ready to go. You just need to run the `prisma migrate dev` command to apply it:
+```
+yarn rw prisma migrate dev
+```
+## Creating a New Data Migration
+
+Data migrations are just plain Typescript or Javascript files which export a single anonymous function that is given a single argument—an instance of `PrismaClient` called `db` that you can use to access your database. The files have a simple naming convention:
+```
+{version}-{name}.js
+```
+Where `version` is a timestamp, like `20200721123456` (an ISO8601 datetime without any special characters or zone identifier), and `name` is a param-case human readable name for the migration, like `copy-preferences`.
+
+To create a data migration we have a generator:
+```
+yarn rw generate dataMigration copyPreferences
+```
+This will create `api/db/dataMigrations/20200721123456-copy-preferences.js`:
+
+```jsx title="api/db/dataMigrations/20200721123456-copy-preferences.js"
+export default async ({ db }) => {
+ // Migration here...
+}
+```
+
+> **Why such a long name?**
+>
+> So that if multiple developers are creating data migrations, the chances of them creating one with the exact same filename is essentially zero, and they will all run in a predictable order—oldest to newest.
+
+Now it's up to you to define your data migration. In our user/preference example, it may look something like:
+
+```jsx title="api/db/dataMigrations/20200721123456-copy-preferences.js"
+const asyncForEach = async (array, callback) => {
+ for (let index = 0; index < array.length; index++) {
+ await callback(array[index], index, array)
+ }
+}
+
+export default async ({ db }) => {
+ const users = await db.user.findMany()
+
+ asyncForEach(users, async (user) => {
+ await db.preference.create({
+ data: {
+ newsletter: user.newsletter,
+ frequency: user.frequency,
+ theme: user.theme,
+ user: { connect: { id: user.id } }
+ }
+ })
+ })
+}
+```
+
+This loops through each existing `User` and creates a new `Preference` record containing each of the preference-related fields from `User`.
+
+> Note that in a case like this where you're copying data to a new table, you would probably delete the columns from `User` afterwards. This needs to be a two step process!
+>
+> 1. Create the new table (db migration) and then move the data over (data migration)
+> 2. Remove the unneeded columns from `User`
+>
+> When going to production, you would need to run this as two separate deploys to ensure no data is lost.
+>
+> The reason is that all DB migrations are run and *then* all data migrations. So if you had two DB migrations (one to create `Preference` and one to drop the unneeded columns from `User`) they would both run before the Data Migration, so the columns containing the preferences are gone before the data migration gets a chance to copy them over!
+>
+> **Remember**: Any destructive action on the database (removing a table or column especially) needs to be a two step process to avoid data loss.
+
+## Running a Data Migration
+
+When you're ready, you can execute your data migration with `data-migrate`'s `up` command:
+```
+yarn rw data-migrate up
+```
+This goes through each file in `api/db/dataMigrations`, compares it against the list of migrations that have already run according to the `DataMigration` table in the database, and executes any that aren't present in that table, sorted oldest to newest based on the timestamp in the filename.
+
+Any logging statements (like `console.info()`) you include in your data migration script will be output to the console as the script is running.
+
+If the script encounters an error, the process will abort, skipping any following data migrations.
+
+> The example data migration above didn't include this for brevity, but you should always run your data migration [inside a transaction](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/transactions#bulk-operations-experimental) so that if any errors occur during execution the database will not be left in an inconsistent state where only *some* of your changes were performed.
+
+## Long-term Maintainability
+
+Ideally you can run all database migrations and data migrations from scratch (like when a new developer joins the team) and have them execute correctly. Unfortunately you don't get that ideal scenario by default.
+
+Take our example above—what happens when a new developer comes long and attempts to setup their database? All DB migrations will run first (including the one that drops the preference-related columns from `User`) before the data migrations run. They will get an error when they try to read something like `user.newsletter` and that column doesn't exist!
+
+One technique to combat this is to check for the existence of these columns before the data migration does anything. If `user.newsletter` doesn't exist, then don't bother running the data migration at all and assume that your [seed data](cli-commands.md#prisma-db-seed) is already in the correct format:
+
+```jsx {4,15}
+export default async ({ db }) => {
+ const users = await db.user.findMany()
+
+ if (typeof user.newsletter !== undefined) {
+ asyncForEach(users, async (user) => {
+ await db.preference.create({
+ data: {
+ newsletter: user.newsletter,
+ frequency: user.frequency,
+ theme: user.theme,
+ user: { connect: { id: user.id } }
+ }
+ })
+ })
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## Lifecycle Summary
+
+Run once:
+```
+yarn rw data-migrate install
+yarn rw prisma migrate dev
+```
+Run every time you need a new data migration:
+```
+yarn rw generate dataMigration migrationName
+yarn rw data-migrate up
+```

+description: Have complete control by hosting your own code
+---
+
+# Introduction to Baremetal
+
+Once you've grown beyond the confines and limitations of the cloud deployment providers, it's time to get serious: hosting your own code on big iron. Prepare for performance like you've only dreamed of! Also be prepared for IT and infrastructure responsibilities like you've only had nightmares of.
+
+With Redwood's Baremetal deployment option, the source (like your dev machine) will SSH into one or more remote machines and execute commands in order to update your codebase, run any database migrations and restart services.
+
+Deploying from a client (like your own development machine) consists of running a single command:
+
+First time deploy:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --first-run
+```
+
+Subsequent deploys:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production
+```
+
+:::warning Deploying to baremetal is an advanced topic
+
+If you haven't done any kind of remote server work before, you may be in a little over your head to start with. But don't worry: until relatively recently (cloud computing, serverless, lambda functions) this is how all websites were deployed, so we've got a good 30 years of experience getting this working!
+
+If you're new to connecting to remote servers, check out the [Intro to Servers](/docs/intro-to-servers) guide we wrote just for you.
+
+:::
+
+## Deployment Lifecycle
+
+The Baremetal deploy runs several commands in sequence. These can be customized, to an extent, and some of them skipped completely:
+
+1. `git clone --depth=1` to retrieve the latest code
+2. Symlink the latest deploy `.env` to the shared `.env` in the app dir
+3. `yarn install` - installs dependencies
+4. Runs prisma DB migrations
+5. Generate Prisma client libs
+6. Runs [data migrations](/docs/data-migrations)
+7. Builds the web and/or api sides
+8. Symlink the latest deploy dir to `current` in the app dir
+9. Restart the serving process(es)
+10. Remove older deploy directories
+
+### First Run Lifecycle
+
+If the `--first-run` flag is specified then step 6 above will execute the following commands instead:
+ - `pm2 start [service]` - starts the serving process(es)
+ - `pm2 save` - saves the running services to the deploy users config file for future startup. See [Starting on Reboot](#starting-on-reboot) for further information
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+Once you're deployed and running, you'll find a directory structure that looks like this:
+
+```
+└── var
+ └── www
+ └── myapp
+ ├── .env <────────────────┐
+ ├── current ───symlink──┐ │
+ └── releases │ │
+ └── 20220420120000 <┘ │
+ ├── .env ─symlink─┘
+ ├── api
+ ├── web
+ ├── ...
+```
+
+There's a symlink `current` pointing to directory named for a timestamp (the timestamp of the last deploy) and within that is your codebase, the latest revision having been `clone`d. The `.env` file in that directory is then symlinked back out to the one in the root of your app path, so that it can be shared across deployments.
+
+So a reference to `/var/www/myapp/current` will always be the latest deployed version of your codebase. If you wanted to [setup nginx to serve your web side](#redwood-serves-api-nginx-serves-web-side), you would point it to `/var/www/myapp/current/web/dist` as the `root` and it will always be serving the latest code: a new deploy will change the `current` symlink and nginx will start serving the new files instantaneously.
+
+## App Setup
+
+Run the following to add the required config files to your codebase:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup deploy baremetal
+```
+
+This will add dependencies to your `package.json` and create two files:
+
+1. `deploy.toml` contains server config for knowing which machines to connect to and which commands to run
+2. `ecosystem.config.js` for [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/) to know what service(s) to monitor
+
+If you see an error from `gyp` you may need to add some additional dependencies before `yarn install` will be able to complete. See the README for `node-type` for more info: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation
+
+### Configuration
+
+Before your first deploy you'll need to add some configuration.
+
+#### ecosystem.config.js
+
+By default, baremetal assumes you want to run the `yarn rw serve` command, which provides both the web and api sides. The web side will be available on port 8910 unless you update your `redwood.toml` file to make it available on another port. The default generated `ecosystem.config.js` will contain this config only, within a service called "serve":
+
+```jsx title="ecosystem.config.js"
+module.exports = {
+ apps: [
+ {
+ name: 'serve',
+ cwd: 'current',
+ script: 'node_modules/.bin/rw',
+ args: 'serve',
+ instances: 'max',
+ exec_mode: 'cluster',
+ wait_ready: true,
+ listen_timeout: 10000,
+ },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+If you follow our recommended config [below](#redwood-serves-api-nginx-serves-web-side), you could update this to only serve the api side, because the web side will be handled by [nginx](https://www.nginx.com/). That could look like:
+
+```jsx title="ecosystem.config.js"
+module.exports = {
+ apps: [
+ {
+ name: 'api',
+ cwd: 'current',
+ script: 'node_modules/.bin/rw',
+ args: 'serve api',
+ instances: 'max',
+ exec_mode: 'cluster',
+ wait_ready: true,
+ listen_timeout: 10000,
+ },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+#### deploy.toml
+
+This file contains your server configuration: which servers to connect to and which commands to run on them.
+
+```toml title="deploy.toml"
+[[production.servers]]
+host = "server.com"
+username = "user"
+agentForward = true
+sides = ["api","web"]
+packageManagerCommand = "yarn"
+monitorCommand = "pm2"
+path = "/var/www/app"
+processNames = ["serve"]
+repo = "git@github.com:myorg/myapp.git"
+branch = "main"
+keepReleases = 5
+```
+
+This lists a single server, in the `production` environment, providing the hostname and connection details (`username` and `agentForward`), which `sides` are hosted on this server (by default it's both web and api sides), the `path` to the app code and then which PM2 service names should be (re)started on this server.
+
+#### Config Options
+
+* `host` - hostname to the server
+* `port` - [optional] ssh port for server connection, defaults to 22
+* `username` - the user to login as
+* `password` - [optional] if you are using password authentication, include that here
+* `privateKey` - [optional] if you connect with a private key, include the content of the key here, as a buffer: `privateKey: Buffer.from('...')`. Use this *or* `privateKeyPath`, not both.
+* `privateKeyPath` - [optional] if you connect with a private key, include the path to the key here: `privateKeyPath: path.join('path','to','key.pem')` Use this *or* `privateKey`, not both.
+* `passphrase` - [optional] if your private key contains a passphrase, enter it here
+* `agentForward` - [optional] if you have [agent forwarding](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/using-ssh-agent-forwarding) enabled, set this to `true` and your own credentials will be used for further SSH connections from the server (like when connecting to GitHub)
+* `sides` - An array of sides that will be built on this server
+* `packageManagerCommand` - The package manager bin to call, defaults to `yarn` but could be updated to be prefixed with another command first, for example: `doppler run -- yarn`
+* `monitorCommand` - The monitor bin to call, defaults to `pm2` but could be updated to be prefixed with another command first, for example: `doppler run -- pm2`
+* `path` - The absolute path to the root of the application on the server
+* `migrate` - [optional] Whether or not to run migration processes on this server, defaults to `true`
+* `processNames` - An array of service names from `ecosystem.config.js` which will be (re)started on a successful deploy
+* `repo` - The path to the git repo to clone
+* `branch` - [optional] The branch to deploy (defaults to `main`)
+* `keepReleases` - [optional] The number of previous releases to keep on the server, including the one currently being served (defaults to 5)
+
+The easiest connection method is generally to include your own public key in the server's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` mannually or by running `ssh-copy-id user@server.com` from your local machine, [enable agent forwarding](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/using-ssh-agent-forwarding), and then set `agentForward = true` in `deploy.toml`. This will allow you to use your own credentials when pulling code from GitHub (required for private repos). Otherwise you can create a [deploy key](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/managing-deploy-keys) and keep it on the server.
+
+#### Using Environment Variables in `deploy.toml`
+
+Similarly to `redwood.toml`, `deploy.toml` supports interpolation of environment variables. For more details on how to use the environment variable interpolation see [Using Environment Variables in redwood.toml](/docs/app-configuration-redwood-toml#using-environment-variables-in-redwoodtoml)
+
+#### Multiple Servers
+
+If you start horizontally scaling your application you may find it necessary to have the web and api sides served from different servers. The configuration files can accommodate this:
+
+```toml title="deploy.toml"
+[[production.servers]]
+host = "api.server.com"
+username = "user"
+agentForward = true
+sides = ["api"]
+path = "/var/www/app"
+processNames = ["api"]
+
+[[production.servers]]
+host = "web.server.com"
+username = "user"
+agentForward = true
+sides = ["web"]
+path = "/var/www/app"
+migrate = false
+processNames = ["web"]
+```
+
+```jsx title="ecosystem.config.js"
+module.exports = {
+ apps: [
+ {
+ name: 'api',
+ cwd: 'current',
+ script: 'node_modules/.bin/rw',
+ args: 'serve api',
+ instances: 'max',
+ exec_mode: 'cluster',
+ wait_ready: true,
+ listen_timeout: 10000,
+ },
+ {
+ name: 'web',
+ cwd: 'current',
+ script: 'node_modules/.bin/rw',
+ args: 'serve web',
+ instances: 'max',
+ exec_mode: 'cluster',
+ wait_ready: true,
+ listen_timeout: 10000,
+ },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+Note the inclusion of `migrate = false` so that migrations are not run again on the web server (they only need to run once and it makes sense to keep them with the api side).
+
+You can add as many `[[servers]]` blocks as you need.
+
+#### Multiple Environments
+
+You can deploy to multiple environments from a single `deploy.toml` by including servers grouped by environment name:
+
+```toml title="deploy.toml"
+[[production.servers]]
+host = "prod.server.com"
+username = "user"
+agentForward = true
+sides = ["api", "web"]
+path = "/var/www/app"
+processNames = ["serve"]
+
+[[staging.servers]]
+host = "staging.server.com"
+username = "user"
+agentForward = true
+sides = ["api", "web"]
+path = "/var/www/app"
+processNames = ["serve", "stage-logging"]
+```
+
+At deploy time, include the environment in the command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal staging
+```
+
+Note that the codebase shares a single `ecosystem.config.js` file. If you need a different set of services running in different environments you'll need to simply give them a unique name and reference them in the `processNames` option of `deploy.toml` (see the additional `stage-logging` process in the above example).
+
+## Server Setup
+
+You will need to create the directory in which your app code will live. This path will be the `path` var in `deploy.toml`. Make sure the username you will connect as in `deploy.toml` has permission to read/write/execute files in this directory. For example, if your `/var` dir is owned by `root`, but you're going to deploy with a user named `deploy`:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /var/www/myapp
+sudo chown deploy:deploy /var/www/myapp
+```
+
+You'll want to create an `.env` file in this directory containing any environment variables that are needed by your app (like `DATABASE_URL` at a minimum). This will be symlinked to each release directory so that it's available as the app expects (in the root directory of the codebase).
+
+:::warning SSH and Non-interactive Sessions
+
+The deployment process uses a '[non-interactive](https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/intandnonint.html)' SSH session to run commands on the remote server. A non-interactive session will often load a minimal amount of settings for better compatibility and speed. In some versions of Linux `.bashrc` by default does not load (by design) from a non-interactive session. This can lead to `yarn` (or other commands) not being found by the deployment script, even though they are in your path, because additional ENV vars are set in `~/.bashrc` which provide things like NPM paths and setup.
+
+A quick fix on some distros is to edit the deployment user's `~/.bashrc` file and comment out the lines that *stop* non-interactive processing.
+
+```diff title="~/.bashrc"
+# If not running interactively, don't do anything
+- case $- in
+- *i*) ;;
+- *) return;;
+- esac
+
+# If not running interactively, don't do anything
++ # case $- in
++ # *i*) ;;
++ # *) return;;
++ # esac
+```
+
+This may also be a one-liner like:
+
+```diff title="~/.bashrc"
+- [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
++ # [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
+```
+
+There are techniques for getting `node`, `npm` and `yarn` to be available without loading everything in `.bashrc`. See [this comment](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/1290#issuecomment-427557733) for some ideas.
+
+:::
+
+## First Deploy
+
+Back on your development machine, enter your details in `deploy.toml`, commit it and push it up, and then try a first deploy:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --first-run
+```
+
+If there are any issues the deploy should stop and you'll see the error message printed to the console.
+
+If it worked, hooray! You're deployed to BAREMETAL. If not, read on...
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+On the server you should see a new directory inside the `path` you defined in `deploy.toml`. It should be a timestamp of the deploy, like:
+
+```bash
+drwxrwxr-x 7 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 22 23:00 ./
+drwxr-xr-x 7 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 22 22:46 ../
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1167 Apr 22 20:49 .env
+drwxrwxr-x 10 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 22 21:43 20220422214218/
+```
+
+You may or may not also have a `current` symlink in the app directory pointing to that timestamp directory (it depends how far the deploy script got before it failed as to whether you'll have the symlink or not).
+
+`cd` into that timestamped directory and check that you have a `.env` symlink pointing back to the app directory's `.env` file.
+
+Next, try performing all of the steps yourself that would happen during a deploy:
+
+```
+yarn install
+yarn rw prisma migrate deploy
+yarn rw prisma generate
+yarn rw dataMigrate up
+yarn rw build
+ln -nsf "$(pwd)" ../current
+```
+
+If they worked for you, the deploy process should have no problem as it runs the same commands (after all, it connects via SSH and runs the same commands you just did!)
+
+Next we can check that the site is being served correctly. Run `yarn rw serve` and make sure your processes start and are accessible (by default on port 8910):
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8910
+# or
+wget http://localhost:8910
+```
+
+If you don't see the content of your `web/src/index.html` file then something isn't working. You'll need to fix those issues before you can deploy. Verify the api side is responding:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8910/.redwood/functions/graphql?query={redwood{version}}
+# or
+wget http://localhost:8910/.redwood/functions/graphql?query={redwood{version}}
+```
+
+You should see something like:
+
+```json
+{
+ "data": {
+ "redwood": {
+ "version": "1.0.0"
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If so then your API side is up and running! The only thing left to test is that the api side has access to the database. This call would be pretty specific to your app, but assuming you have port 8910 open to the world you could simply open a browser to click around to find a page that makes a database request.
+
+Was the problem with starting your PM2 process? That will be harder to debug here in this doc, but visit us in the [forums](https://community.redwoodjs.com) or [Discord](https://discord.gg/redwoodjs) and we'll try to help!
+
+:::note My pm2 processes are running but your app has errors, how do I see them?
+
+If your processes are up and running in pm2 you can monitor their log output. Run `pm2 monit` and get a nice graphical interface for watching the logs on your processes. Press the up/down arrows to move through the processes and left/right to switch panes.
+
+![pm2 monit screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/300/213776175-2f78d9d4-7e6e-4d69-81b2-a648cc37b6ea.png)
+
+Sometimes the log messages are too long to read in the pane at the right. In that case you can watch them live by "tailing" them right in the terminal. pm2 logs are written to `~/.pm2/logs` and are named after the process name and id, and whether they are standard output or error messages. Here's an example directory listing:
+
+```
+ubuntu@ip-123-45-67-89:~/.pm2/logs$ ll
+total 116
+drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jan 20 17:58 ./
+drwxrwxr-x 5 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jan 20 17:40 ../
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Jan 20 17:58 api-error-0.log
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Jan 20 17:58 api-error-1.log
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 27788 Jan 20 18:11 api-out-0.log
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 21884 Jan 20 18:11 api-out-1.log
+```
+
+To watch a log live, run:
+
+```terminal
+tail -f ~/.pm2/logs/api-out-0.log
+```
+
+Note that if you have more than one process running, like we do here, requesting a page on the website will send the request to one of available processes randomly, so you may not see your request show up unless you refresh a few times. Or you can connect to two separate SSH sessions and tail both of the log files at the same time.
+
+:::
+
+## Starting Processes on Server Restart
+
+The `pm2` service requires some system "hooks" to be installed so it can boot up using your system's service manager. Otherwise, your PM2 services will need to be manually started again on a server restart. These steps only need to be run the first time you install PM2.
+
+SSH into your server and then run:
+
+```bash
+pm2 startup
+```
+
+You will see some output similar to the output below. We care about the output after "copy/paste the following command:" You'll need to do just that: copy the command starting with `sudo` and then paste and execute it. *Note* this command uses `sudo` so you'll need the root password to the machine in order for it to complete successfully.
+
+:::warning
+
+The below text is *example* output, yours will be different, don't copy and paste ours!
+
+:::
+
+```bash
+$ pm2 startup
+[PM2] Init System found: systemd
+[PM2] To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
+// highlight-next-line
+sudo env PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/bin /home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u ubuntu --hp /home/ubuntu
+```
+
+In this example, you would copy `sudo env PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/bin /home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u ubuntu --hp /home/ubuntu` and run it. You should get a bunch of output along with `[PM2] [v] Command successfully executed.` near the end. Now if your server restarts for whatever reason, your PM2 processes will be restarted once the server is back up.
+
+## Customizing the Deploy
+
+There are several ways you can customize the deploys steps, whether that's skipping steps completely, or inserting your own commands before or after the default ones.
+
+### Skipping Steps
+
+If you want to speed things up you can skip one or more steps during the deploy. For example, if you have no database migrations, you can skip them completely and save some time:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --no-migrate
+```
+
+Run `yarn rw deploy baremetal --help` for the full list of flags. You can set them as `--migrate=false` or use the `--no-migrate` variant.
+
+### Inserting Custom Commands
+
+Baremetal supports running your own custom commands before or after the regular deploy commands. You can run commands **before** and/or **after** the built-in commands. Your custom commands are defined in the `deploy.toml` config file. The existing commands that you can hook into are:
+
+1. `update` - cloning the codebase
+2. `symlinkEnv` - symlink the new deploy's `.env` to shared one in the app dir
+3. `install` - `yarn install`
+4. `migrate` - database migrations
+5. `build` - `yarn build` (your custom before/after command is run for each side being built)
+6. `symlinkCurrent` - symlink the new deploy dir to `current` in the app dir
+7. `restart` - (re)starting any pm2 processes (your custom command will run before/after each process is restarted)
+8. `cleanup` - cleaning up any old releases
+
+You can define your before/after commands in three different places:
+
+* Globally - runs for any environment
+* Environment specific - runs for only a single environment
+* Server specific - runs for only a single server in a single environment
+
+:::warning
+
+Custom commands are run in the new **deploy** directory, not the root of your application directory. During a deploy the `current` symlink will point to the previous directory while your code is executed in the new one, before the `current` symlink location is updated.
+
+```bash
+drwxrwxr-x 5 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 May 10 18:20 ./
+drwxr-xr-x 7 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Apr 27 17:43 ../
+drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 May 9 22:59 20220503211428/
+drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 May 9 22:59 20220503211429/
+drwxrwxr-x 10 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 May 10 18:18 20220510181730/ <-- commands are run in here
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 ubuntu ubuntu 14 May 10 18:19 current -> 20220503211429/
+-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1167 Apr 22 20:49 .env
+```
+
+:::
+
+#### Syntax
+
+Global events are defined in a `[before]` and/or `[after]` block in your `deploy.toml` file:
+
+```toml
+[before]
+install = "touch install.lock"
+
+[after]
+install = "rm install.lock"
+
+[[production.servers]]
+host = 'server.com'
+# ...
+```
+
+Environment specific commands are defined in a `[[environment.before]]` and `[[environment.after]]` block:
+
+```toml
+[production.before]
+install = "touch prod-install.lock"
+
+[production.after]
+install = "rm prod-install.lock"
+
+[production.servers]
+host = 'server.com'
+# ...
+```
+
+Server specific commands are defined with a `before.command` and `after.command` key directly in your server config:
+
+```toml
+[[production.servers]]
+host = 'server.com'
+# ...
+before.install = 'touch server-install.lock'
+after.install = 'rm server-install.lock'
+```
+
+You can define commands as a string, or an array of strings if you want to run multiple commands:
+
+```toml
+[before]
+install = ["echo 'started at $(date)' > install.lock", "cp -R . ../backup"]
+
+[[production.servers]]
+host = 'server.com'
+# ...
+```
+
+You can include commands in any/all of the three configurations (global, env and server) and they will all be stacked up and run in that order: `global -> environment -> server`. For example:
+
+
+```toml
+[[production.servers]]
+host = 'server.com'
+# ...
+before.install = 'touch server-install.lock'
+
+[production.before]
+install = ['touch prod-install1.lock', 'touch prod-install2.lock']
+
+[before]
+install = 'touch install.lock'
+```
+
+Would result in the commands running in this order, all before running `yarn install`:
+
+1. `touch install.lock`
+2. `touch prod-install1.lock`
+3. `touch prod-install2.lock`
+4. `touch server-install.lock`
+
+## Rollback
+
+If you deploy and find something has gone horribly wrong, you can rollback your deploy to the previous release:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --rollback
+```
+
+You can even rollback multiple deploys, up to the total number you still have denoted with the `keepReleases` option:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --rollback 3
+```
+
+Note that this will *not* rollback your database—if you had a release that changed the database, that updated database will still be in effect, but with the previous version of the web and api sides. Trying to undo database migrations is a very difficult proposition and isn't even possible in many cases.
+
+Make sure to thoroughly test releases that change the database before doing it for real!
+
+## Maintenance Page
+
+If you find that you have a particular complex deploy, one that may involve incompatible database changes with the current codebase, or want to make sure that database changes don't occur while in the middle of a deploy, you can put up a maintenance page:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --maintenance up
+```
+
+It does this by replacing `web/dist/200.html` with `web/src/maintenance.html`. This means any new web requests, at any URL, will show the maintenance page. This process also stops any services listed in the `processNames` option of `deploy.toml`—this is important for the api server as it will otherwise keep serving requests to users currently running the app, even though no *new* users can get the Javascript packages required to start a new session in their browser.
+
+You can remove the maintenance page with:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy baremetal production --maintenance down
+```
+
+Note that the maintenance page will automatically come down as the result of a new deploy as it checks out a new copy of the codebase (with a brand new copy of `web/dist/200.html` and will automatically restart services (bring them all back online).
+
+## Monitoring
+
+PM2 has a nice terminal-based dashboard for monitoring your services:
+
+```bash
+pm2 monit
+```
+
+![pm2 dashboard](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/300/164799386-84442fa3-8e68-4cc6-9e64-928b8e32731a.png)
+
+And even a web-based UI with paid upgrades if you need to give normies access to your monitoring data:
+
+![pm2 web dashboard](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/300/164799541-6fe321fa-4d7c-44f7-93c6-3c202638da4f.png)
+
+## Example Server Configurations
+
+The default configuration, which requires the least amount of manual configuration, is to serve both the web and api sides, with the web side being bound to port 8910. This isn't really feasible for a general web app which should be available on port 80 (for HTTP) and/or port 443 (for HTTPS). Here are some custom configs to help.
+
+### Redwood Serves Web and Api Sides, Bind to Port 80
+
+This is almost as easy as the default configuration, you just need to tell Redwood to bind to port 80. However, most *nix distributions will not allow a process to bind to ports lower than 1024 without root/sudo permissions. There is a command you can run to allow access to a specific binary (`node` in this case) to bind to one of those ports anyway.
+
+#### Tell Redwood to Bind to Port 80
+
+Update the `[web]` port:
+
+```diff title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ title = "My Application"
+ apiUrl = "/.netlify/functions"
++ port = 80
+[api]
+ port = 8911
+[browser]
+ open = true
+```
+
+#### Allow Node to Bind to Port 80
+
+Use the [setcap](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html) utility to provide access to lower ports by a given process:
+
+```bash
+sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip $(which node)
+```
+
+Now restart your service and it should be available on port 80:
+
+```bash
+pm2 restart serve
+```
+
+This should get your site available on port 80 (for HTTP), but you really want it available on port 443 (for HTTPS). That won't be easy if you continue to use Redwood's internal web server. See the next recipe for a solution.
+
+### Redwood Serves Api, Nginx Serves Web Side
+
+[nginx](https://www.nginx.com/) is a very robust, dedicated web server that can do a better job of serving our static web-side files than Redwood's own built-in web server (Fastify) which isn't really configured in Redwood for a high traffic, production website.
+
+If nginx will be serving our web side, what about api-side? Redwood's internal API server will be running, but on the default port of 8911. But browsers are going to want to connect on port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS). nginx takes care of this as well: it will [proxy](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/) (forward) any requests to a path of your choosing (like the default of `/.redwood/functions`) to port 8911 behind the scenes, then return the response to the browser.
+
+This doc isn't going to go through installing and getting nginx running, there are plenty of resources for that available. What we will show is a successful nginx configuration file used by several Redwood apps currently in production.
+
+```text title="nginx.conf"
+upstream redwood_server {
+ server 127.0.0.1:8911 fail_timeout=0;
+}
+
+server {
+ root /var/www/myapp/current/web/dist;
+ server_name myapp.com;
+ index index.html;
+
+ gzip on;
+ gzip_min_length 1000;
+ gzip_types application/json text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript;
+
+ sendfile on;
+
+ keepalive_timeout 65;
+
+ error_page 404 /404.html;
+ error_page 500 /500.html;
+
+ location / {
+ try_files $uri /200.html =404;
+ }
+
+ location ^~ /static/ {
+ gzip_static on;
+ expires max;
+ add_header Cache-Control public;
+ }
+
+ location ~ /.redwood/functions(.*) {
+ rewrite ^/.redwood/functions(.*) $1 break;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+ proxy_pass http://redwood_server;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Now when you start Redwood, you're only going to start the api server:
+
+```
+yarn rw serve api
+```
+
+When using `pm2` to start/monitor your processes, you can simplify your `deploy.toml` and `ecosystem.config.js` files to only worry about the api side:
+
+```toml title="deploy.toml"
+[[production.servers]]
+host = "myserver.com"
+username = "ubuntu"
+agentForward = true
+sides = ["api", "web"]
+path = "/var/www/myapp"
+// highlight-next-line
+processNames = ["api"]
+repo = "git@github.com:redwoodjs/myapp.git"
+branch = "main"
+keepReleases = 3
+packageManagerCommand = "yarn"
+monitorCommand = "pm2"
+```
+
+```js title="ecosystem.config.js"
+module.exports = {
+ apps: [
+ {
+ name: 'api',
+ cwd: 'current',
+ script: 'node_modules/.bin/rw',
+ args: 'serve api',
+ instances: 'max',
+ exec_mode: 'cluster',
+ wait_ready: true,
+ listen_timeout: 10000,
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+This is the bare minimum to get your site served over HTTP, insecurely. After verifying that your site is up and running, we recommend using [Let's Encrypt](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04) to provision a SSL cert and it will also automatically update your nginx config so everything is served over HTTPS.
+
+#### Custom API Path
+
+If you don't love the path of `/.redwood/functions` for your API calls, this is easy to change. You'll need to tell Redwood to use a different path in development, and then let nginx know about that same path so that it resolves the same in production.
+
+For example, to simplify the path to just `/api` you'll need to make a change to `redwood.toml` and your new nginx config file:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ title = "My App"
+ port = 8910
+ host = '0.0.0.0'
+// highlight-next-line
+ apiUrl = "/api"
+[api]
+ port = 8911
+[browser]
+ open = true
+```
+
+```text title="nginx.conf"
+upstream redwood_server {
+ server 127.0.0.1:8911 fail_timeout=0;
+}
+
+server {
+ root /var/www/myapp/current/web/dist;
+ server_name myapp.com;
+ index index.html;
+
+ gzip on;
+ gzip_min_length 1000;
+ gzip_types application/json text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript;
+
+ sendfile on;
+
+ keepalive_timeout 65;
+
+ error_page 404 /404.html;
+ error_page 500 /500.html;
+
+ location / {
+ try_files $uri /200.html =404;
+ }
+
+ location ^~ /static/ {
+ gzip_static on;
+ expires max;
+ add_header Cache-Control public;
+ }
+
+// highlight-next-line
+ location ~ /api(.*) {
+// highlight-next-line
+ rewrite ^/api(.*) $1 break;
+ proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+ proxy_pass http://redwood_server;
+ }
+}
+```

+description: Serverful deploys on GCP or AWS via Coherence's full-lifecycle environment automation
+---
+
+# Deploy to Coherence
+
+[Coherence](https://www.withcoherence.com/) delivers automated environments across the full software development lifecycle, without requiring you to glue together your own mess of open source tools to get a world-class develper experience for your team. Coherence is focused on serving startups, who are doing mission-critical work. With one simple configuration, Coherence offers:
+
+- Cloud-hosted development environments, based on VSCode. Similar to Gitpod or GitHub CodeSpaces
+- Production-ready CI/CD running in your own GCP/AWS account, including: database migration/seeding/snapshot loading, parallelized tests, container building and docker registry management
+- Full-stack branch previews. Vercel/Netlify-like developer experience for arbitrary container apps, including dependencies such as CDN, redis, and database resources
+- Staging and production environment management in your AWS/GCP accounts. Production runs in its own cloud account (AWS) or project (GCP). Integrated secrets management across all environment types with a developer-friendly UI
+
+## Coherence Prerequisites
+
+To deploy to Coherence, your Redwood project needs to be hosted on GitHub and you must have an [AWS](https://docs.withcoherence.com/docs/overview/aws-deep-dive) or [GCP](https://docs.withcoherence.com/docs/overview/gcp-deep-dive) account.
+
+## Coherence Deploy
+
+:::warning Prerender doesn't work with Coherence yet
+
+You can see its current status and follow updates here on GitHub: https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues/8333.
+
+But if you don't use prerender, carry on!
+
+:::
+
+If you want to deploy your Redwood project on Coherence, run the setup command:
+
+```
+yarn rw setup deploy coherence
+```
+
+The command will inspect your Prisma config to determine if you're using a supported database (at the moment, only `postgres` or `mysql` are supported on Coherence).
+
+Then follow the [Coherence Redwood deploy docs](https://docs.withcoherence.com/docs/configuration/frameworks#redwood-js) for more information, including if you want to set up:
+- a redis server
+- database migration/seeding/snapshot loading
+- cron jobs or async workers
+- object storage using Google Cloud Storage or AWS's S3

+# Deploy to Edgio
+
+[Edgio](https://edg.io) extends the capabilities of a traditional CDN by not only hosting your static content, but also providing server-side rendering for progressive web applications as well as caching both your APIs and HTML at the network edge to provide your users with the fastest browsing experience.
+
+## Edgio Deploy Setup
+
+In order to deploy your RedwoodJS project to Edgio, the project must first be initialized with the Edgio CLI.
+
+1. In your project, run the command `yarn rw setup deploy edgio`.
+2. Verify the changes to your project, commit and push to your repository.
+3. Deploy your project to Edgio
+ 1. If this is your first time deploying to Edgio, the interactive CLI will prompt to authenticate using your browser. You can start the deploy by running `yarn rw deploy edgio`.
+ 2. If you are deploying from a **non-interactive** environment, you will need to create an account on [Edgio Developer Console](https://app.layer0.co) first and setup a [deploy token](https://docs.edg.io/guides/deploy_apps#deploy-from-ci). Once the deploy token is created, save it as a secret to your environment. You can start the deploy by running `yarn rw deploy edgio --token=XXX`.
+4. Follow the link in the output to view your site live once deployment has completed!
+
+For more information on deploying to Edgio, check out the [documentation](https://docs.edg.io).

+description: Deploy to serverless or serverful providers
+---
+
+# Introduction to Deployment
+
+Redwood is designed for both serverless and traditional infrastructure deployments, offering a unique continuous deployment process in both cases:
+
+1. code is committed to a repository on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, which triggers the deployment
+2. the Redwood API Side and Web Side are individually prepared via a build process
+3. during the build process, any database related actions are run (e.g. migrations)
+4. the hosting provider deploys the built Web static assets to a CDN and the API code to a serverless backend (e.g. AWS Lambdas)
+
+Currently, these are the officially supported deploy targets:
+- Baremetal (physical server that you have SSH access to)
+- [Coherence](https://www.withcoherence.com/)
+- [Flightcontrol.dev](https://www.flightcontrol.dev?ref=redwood)
+- [Edg.io](https://edg.io)
+- [Netlify.com](https://www.netlify.com/)
+- [Render.com](https://render.com)
+- [Serverless.com](https://serverless.com)
+- [Vercel.com](https://vercel.com)
+
+Redwood has a CLI generator that adds the code and configuration required by the specified provider (see the [CLI Doc](cli-commands.md#deploy-config) for more information):
+```shell
+yarn rw setup deploy
+```
+
+There are examples of deploying Redwood on other providers such as Google Cloud and direct to AWS. You can find more information by searching the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/issues) and [Forums](https://community.redwoodjs.com).
+
+
+## General Deployment Setup
+
+Deploying Redwood requires setup for the following four categories.
+
+### 1. Host Specific Configuration
+
+Each hosting provider has different requirements for how (and where) the deployment is configured. Sometimes you'll need to add code to your repository, configure settings in a dashboard, or both. You'll need to read the provider specific documentation.
+
+The most important Redwood configuration is to set the `apiUrl` in your `redwood.toml` This sets the API path for your serverless functions specific to your hosting provider.
+
+### 2. Build Command
+
+The build command is used to prepare the Web and API for deployment. Additionally, other actions can be run during build such as database migrations. The Redwood build command must specify one of the supported hosting providers (aka `target`):
+
+```shell
+yarn rw deploy
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+# Build command for Netlify deploy target
+yarn rw deploy netlify
+```
+
+```shell
+# Build command for Vercel deploy target
+yarn rw deploy vercel
+```
+
+```shell
+# Build command for AWS Lambdas using the https://serverless.com framework
+yarn rw deploy serverless --side api
+```
+
+```shell
+# Build command for Edgio deploy target
+yarn rw deploy edgio
+```
+
+```shell
+# Build command for baremetal deploy target
+yarn rw deploy baremetal [--first-run]
+```
+
+### 3. Prisma and Database
+
+Redwood uses Prisma for managing database access and migrations. The settings in `api/prisma/schema.prisma` must include the correct deployment database, e.g. postgresql, and the database connection string.
+
+To use PostgreSQL in production, include this in your `schema.prisma`:
+
+```jsx
+datasource db {
+ provider = "postgresql"
+ url = env("DATABASE_URL")
+}
+```
+
+The `url` setting above accesses the database connection string via an environment variable, `DATABASE_URL`. Using env vars is the recommended method for both ease of development process as well as security best practices.
+
+Whenever you make changes to your `schema.prisma`, you must run the following command:
+
+```shell
+yarn rw prisma migrate dev # creates and applies a new Prisma DB migration
+```
+
+> Note: when setting your production DATABASE_URL env var, be sure to also set any connection-pooling or sslmode parameters. For example, if using Supabase Postgres with pooling, then you would use a connection string similar to `postgresql://postgres:mydb.supabase.co:6432/postgres?sslmode=require&pgbouncer=true` that uses a specific 6432 port, informs Prisma to consider pgBouncer, and also to use SSL. See: [Connection Pooling](connection-pooling.md) for more info.
+
+### 4. Environment Variables
+
+Any environment variables used locally, e.g. in your `env.defaults` or `.env`, must also be added to your hosting provider settings. (See documentation specific to your provider.)
+
+Additionally, if your application uses env vars on the Web Side, you must configure Redwood's build process to make them available in production. See the [Redwood Environment Variables doc](environment-variables.md) for instructions.

+# Deploy to Netlify
+
+## Netlify tl;dr Deploy
+
+If you simply want to experience the Netlify deployment process without a database and/or adding custom code, you can do the following:
+
+1. create a new redwood project: `yarn create redwood-app ./netlify-deploy`
+2. after your "netlify-deploy" project installation is complete, init git, commit, and add it as a new repo to GitHub, BitBucket, or GitLab
+3. run the command `yarn rw setup deploy netlify` and commit and push changes
+4. use the Netlify [Quick Start](https://app.netlify.com/signup) to deploy
+
+:::warning
+While you may be tempted to use the [Netlify CLI](https://cli.netlify.com) commands to [build](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/build) and [deploy](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/deploy) your project directly from you local project directory, doing so **will lead to errors when deploying and/or when running functions**. I.e. errors in the function needed for the GraphQL server, but also other serverless functions.
+
+The main reason for this is that these Netlify CLI commands simply build and deploy -- they build your project locally and then push the dist folder. That means that when building a RedwoodJS project, the [Prisma client is generated with binaries matching the operating system at build time](https://cli.netlify.com/commands/link) -- and not the [OS compatible](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/prisma-schema-reference#binarytargets-options) with running functions on Netlify. Your Prisma client engine may be `darwin` for OSX or `windows` for Windows, but it needs to be `debian-openssl-1.1.x` or `rhel-openssl-1.1.x`. If the client is incompatible, your functions will fail.
+
+
+Therefore, **please follow the [Tutorial Deployment section](tutorial/chapter4/deployment.md)** to sync your GitHub (or other compatible source control service) repository with Netlify andalllow their build and deploy system to manage deployments.
+:::
+

+description: Deploy to AWS with Serverless Framework

+
+# Deploy to AWS with Serverless Framework
+
+>⚠️ **Deprecated**
+>As of Redwood v5, we are deprecating this deploy setup as an "officially" supported provider. This means:
+>- For projects already using this deploy provider, there will be NO change at this time
+>- Both the associated `setup` and `deploy` commands will remain in the framework as is; when setup is run, there will be a “deprecation” message
+>- We will no longer run CI/CD on the Serverless-AWS deployments, which means we are no longer guaranteeing this deploy works with each new version
+>- We are exploring better options to deploy directly to AWS Lambdas; the current deploy commands will not be removed until we find a replacement
+>
+>For more details (e.g. why?) and current status, see the Forum post ["Deprecating support for Serverless Framework Deployments to AWS Lambdas"](https://community.redwoodjs.com/t/deprecating-support-for-serverless-framework-deployments-to-aws-lambdas/4755/10)
+
+>The following instructions assume you have read the [General Deployment Setup](./introduction.md#general-deployment-setup) section above.
+
+Yes, the name is confusing, but Serverless provides a very interesting option—deploy to your own cloud service account and skip the middleman entirely! By default, Serverless just orchestrates starting up services in your cloud provider of choice and pushing your code up to them. Any bill you receive is from your hosting provider (although many offer a generous free tier). You can optionally use the [Serverless Dashboard](https://www.serverless.com/dashboard/) to monitor your deploys and setup CI/CD to automatically deploy when pushing to your repo of choice. If you don't setup CI/CD you actually deploy from your development machine (or another designated machine you've setup to do the deployment).
+
+Currently we default to deploying to AWS. We'd like to add more providers in the future but need help from the community in figuring out what services are equivalent to the ones we're using in AWS (Lambda for the api-side and S3/CloudFront for the web-side).
+
+We'll handle most of the deployment commands for you, you just need an [AWS account](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/credentials#sign-up-for-an-aws-account) and your [access/secret keys](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/credentials#create-an-iam-user-and-access-key) before we begin.
+
+## Setup
+
+One command will set you up with (almost) everything you need:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw setup deploy serverless
+```
+
+As you'll see mentioned in the post-install instructions, you'll need to provide your AWS Access and AWS Secret Access keys. Add those to the designated places in your `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+# .env
+
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
+AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
+```
+
+Make sure you don't check `.env` into your repo! It's set in `.gitignore` by default, so make sure it stays that way.
+
+## First Deploy
+
+You'll need to add a special flag to the deploy command for your first deploy:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy serverless --first-run
+```
+
+The first time you deploy your app we'll first deploy just the API side. Once it's live we can get the URL that it's been deployed to and add that as an environment variable `API_URL` so that web side will know what it is during build-time (it needs to know where to send GraphQL and function requests).
+
+Half-way through the first deploy you'll be asked if you want to add the API_URL to `.env.production` (which is similar to `.env` but is only used when `NODE_ENV=production`, like when building the web and api sides for deploy). Make sure you say `Y`es at this prompt and then it will continue to deploy the web side.
+
+Once that command completes you should see a message including the URL of your site—open that URL and hopefully everything works as expected!
+
+> **Heads up**
+>
+> If you're getting an error trying to load data from the API side, its possible you're still pointing at your local database.
+>
+> Remember to add a DATABASE_URL env var to your `.env.production` file that is created, pointing at the database you want to use on your deployed site. Since your stack is on AWS, RDS might be a good option, but you might find it easier/quicker to setup databases on other providers too, such as [Railway](https://railway.app/) or [Supabase](https://supabase.com/)
+
+## Subsequent Deploys
+
+From now on you can simply run `yarn rw deploy serverless` when you're ready to deploy (which will also be much faster).
+
+
+:::info
+Remember, if you add or generate new serverless functions (or endpoints), you'll need to update the configuration in your serverless.yml in `./api/serverless.yml`.
+
+By default we only configure the `auth` and `graphql` functions for you.
+:::
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+For local deployment (meaning you're deploying from your own machine, or another that you're in control of) you can put any ENV vars that are production-only into `.env.production`. They will override any same-named vars in `.env`. Make sure neither of these files is checked into your code repository!
+
+If you're setting up CI/CD and deploying from the Serverless Dashboard, you'll need to copy your required ENV vars up to your app on Serverless and then tell it where to get them from. In `api/serverless.yml` and `web/serverless.yml` look for the `provider > environment` section. You'll need to list any ENV vars here, using the `${param:VAR_NAME}` syntax, which means to get them from the Serverless Dashboard "parameters" (which is what they call environment variables, for some strange reason).
+
+There are even more places you can get environment variables from, check out Serverless's [Variables documentation](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/variables) for more.
+
+## Serverless Dashboard
+
+> **Note:**
+> Serverless Dashboard CI/CD does not support projects structured like Redwood, although they're working on it. For CD, you'll need to use something like GitHub Actions.
+>
+> It can still be worthwhile to integrate your project with Serverless Dashboard — you'll have features like deploy logs and monitoring, analytics, secret management, and AWS account integration. You can also [authenticate into your Serverless account within a CI context](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/guides/cicd/running-in-your-own-cicd). Just remember that if you do use the Dashboard to manage secrets, you'll need to use the `${param:VAR_NAME}` syntax.
+
+To integrate your site into the Serverless Dashboard, there are two ways:
+
+1. Run `yarn serverless login` and a browser *should* open asking you to allow permission. However, in our experience, this command will fail nearly 50% of the time complaining about an invalid URL. If it *does* work you can then run `yarn serverless` in both the `api` and `web` directories to link to them an existing app in the Dashboard, or you'll be prompted to create a new one. Future deploys will now be monitored on the Dashboard.
+2. You can manually add the `org` and `app` lines in `api/serverless.yml` and `web/serverless.yml`. You'll see example ones commented out near the top of the file.
+
+## Environments Besides Production
+
+By default we assume you want to deploy to a production environment, but Serverless lets you deploy anywhere. They call these destinations "stages", and in Redwood "production" is the default. Check out their [Managing Staging and Environments blog post](https://www.serverless.com/blog/stages-and-environments) for details.
+
+Once configured, just add the stage to your deploy command:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw deploy serverless --stage qa
+```
+
+## Removing Your Deploy
+
+In addition to creating all of the services necessary for your app to run, Serverless can also remove them (which is great when testing to avoid paying for services you're no longer using).
+
+You'll need to run this command in both the `api` and `web` directories:
+
+```bash
+yarn serverless remove --stage production
+```
+
+Note that `production` is the default stage when you deploy with `yarn rw serverless deploy` - if you have customized this, you have to use the same stage as you deployed with!
+
+This will take several minutes, so grab your favorite beverage and enjoy your new $0 monthly bill!
+
+:::tip Pro tip
+If you get tired of typing `serverless` each time, you can use the much shorter `sls` alias: `yarn rw deploy sls`
+:::
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you happen to see the following error when deploying:
+
+```terminal
+Error:
+No auth.zip file found in the package path you provided.
+```
+
+Make sure that the dev server isn't running, then retry your deploy.

+description: Deploy serverless in an instant with Vercel
+---
+
+# Deploy to Vercel
+
+>The following instructions assume you have read the [General Deployment Setup](./introduction.md#general-deployment-setup) section above.
+
+## Vercel tl;dr Deploy
+
+If you simply want to experience the Vercel deployment process without a database and/or adding custom code, you can do the following:
+1. create a new redwood project: `yarn create redwood-app ./vercel-deploy`
+2. after your "vercel-deploy" project installation is complete, init git, commit, and add it as a new repo to GitHub, BitBucket, or GitLab
+3. run the command `yarn rw setup deploy vercel` and commit and push changes
+4. use the Vercel [Quick Start](https://vercel.com/#get-started) to deploy
+
+_If you choose this quick deploy experience, the following steps do not apply._
+
+## Redwood Project Setup
+
+If you already have a Redwood project, proceed to the next step.
+
+Otherwise, we recommend experiencing the full Redwood DX via the [Redwood Tutorial](tutorial/foreword.md). Simply return to these instructions when you reach the "Deployment" section.
+
+## Redwood Deploy Configuration
+
+Complete the following two steps. Then save, commit, and push your changes.
+
+### Step 1. Serverless Functions Path
+
+Run the following CLI Command:
+```shell
+yarn rw setup deploy vercel
+```
+
+This updates your `redwood.toml` file, setting `apiUrl = "/api"`:
+
+### Step 2. Database Settings
+
+Follow the steps in the [Prisma and Database](./introduction#3-prisma-and-database) section above. _(Skip this step if your project does not require a database.)_
+
+### Vercel Initial Setup and Configuration
+Either [login](https://vercel.com/login) to your Vercel account and select "Import Project" or use the Vercel [quick start](https://vercel.com/#get-started).
+
+Then select the "Continue" button within the "From Git Repository" section:
+
+
+Next, select the provider where your repo is hosted: GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. You'll be asked to login and then provider the URL of the repository, e.g. for a GitHub repo `https://github.com/your-account/your-project.git`. Select "Continue".
+
+You'll then need to provide permissions for Vercel to access the repo on your hosting provider.
+
+### Import and Deploy your Project
+Vercel will recognize your repo as a Redwood project and take care of most configuration heavy lifting. You should see the following options and, most importantly, the "Framework Preset" showing RedwoodJS.
+
+
+
+Leave the **Build and Output Settings** at the default settings (unless you know what you're doing and have very specific needs).
+
+In the "Environment Variables" dropdown, add `DATABASE_URL` and your app's database connection string as the value. (Or skip if not applicable.)
+
+> When configuring a database, you'll want to append `?connection_limit=1` to the URI. This is [recommended by Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/deployment#recommended-connection-limit) when working with relational databases in a Serverless context. For production apps, you should setup [connection pooling](https://redwoodjs.com/docs/connection-pooling).
+
+For example, a postgres connection string should look like `postgres://:@/?connection_limit=1`
+
+Finally, click the "Deploy" button. You'll hopefully see a build log without errors (warnings are fine) and end up on a screen that looks like this:
+
+
+
+Go ahead, click that "Visit" button. You’ve earned it 🎉
+
+## Vercel Dashboard Settings
+
+From the Vercel Dashboard you can access the full settings and information for your Redwood App. The default settings seem to work just fine for most Redwood projects. Do take a look around, but be sure check out the [docs as well](https://vercel.com/docs).
+
+From now on, each time you push code to your git repo, Vercel will automatically trigger a deploy of the new code. You can also manually redeploy if you select "Deployments", then the specific deployment from the list, and finally the "Redeploy" option from the vertical dots menu next to "Visit".
+
+## vercel.json configuration
+
+By default, API requests in Vercel have a timeout limit of 15 seconds. To extend this duration, you can modify the vercel.json file by inserting the code snippet provided below. Please be aware that the ability to increase the timeout limit is exclusive to Pro plan subscribers. Additionally, it is important to note that the timeout can be increased up to a maximum of 300 seconds, which is equivalent to 5 minutes.
+
+```
+{
+ "functions": {
+ "api/src/functions/graphql.*": {
+ "maxDuration": 120,
+ "runtime": "@vercel/redwood@2.0.5"
+ }
+ }
+}
+```

+description: Customize GraphQL execution
+---
+
+# Directives
+
+Redwood Directives are a powerful feature, supercharging your GraphQL-backed Services.
+
+You can think of directives like "middleware" that let you run reusable code during GraphQL execution to perform tasks like authentication and formatting.
+
+Redwood uses them to make it a snap to protect your API Services from unauthorized access.
+
+Here we call those types of directives **Validators**.
+
+You can also use them to transform the output of your query result to modify string values, format dates, shield sensitive data, and more!
+We call those types of directives **Transformers**.
+
+You'll recognize a directive as being 1) preceded by `@` (e.g. `@myDirective`) and 2) declared alongside a field:
+
+```tsx
+type Bar {
+ name: String! @myDirective
+}
+```
+
+or a Query or a Mutation:
+
+```tsx
+type Query {
+ bars: [Bar!]! @myDirective
+}
+
+type Mutation {
+ createBar(input: CreateBarInput!): Bar! @myDirective
+}
+```
+
+You can also define arguments that can be extracted and used when evaluating the directive:
+
+```tsx
+type Bar {
+ field: String! @myDirective(roles: ["ADMIN"])
+}
+```
+
+or a Query or Mutation:
+
+```tsx
+type Query {
+ bars: [Bar!]! @myDirective(roles: ["ADMIN"])
+}
+```
+
+You can also use directives on relations:
+
+```tsx
+type Baz {
+ name: String!
+}
+
+type Bar {
+ name: String!
+ bazzes: [Baz]! @myDirective
+}
+```
+
+There are many ways to write directives using GraphQL tools and libraries. Believe us, it can get complicated fast.
+
+But, don't fret: Redwood provides an easy and ergonomic way to generate and write your own directives so that you can focus on the implementation logic and not the GraphQL plumbing.
+
+## What is a Redwood Directive?
+
+Redwood directives are purposeful.
+They come in two flavors: **Validators** and **Transformers**.
+
+Whatever flavor of directive you want, all Redwood directives must have the following properties:
+
+- be in the `api/src/directives/{directiveName}` directory where `directiveName` is the directive directory
+- must have a file named `{directiveName}.{js,ts}` (e.g. `maskedEmail.ts`)
+- must export a `schema` and implement either a `validate` or `transform` function
+
+### Understanding the Directive Flow
+
+Since it helps to know a little about the GraphQL phases—specifically the Execution phase—and how Redwood Directives fit in the data-fetching and authentication flow, let's have a quick look at some diagrams.
+
+First, we see the built-in `@requireAuth` Validator directive that can allow or deny access to a Service (a.k.a. a resolver) based on Redwood authentication.
+In this example, the `post(id: Int!)` query is protected using the `@requireAuth` directive.
+
+If the request's context has a `currentUser` and the app's `auth.{js|ts}` determines it `isAuthenticated()`, then the execution phase proceeds to get resolved (for example, the `post({ id })` Service is executed and queries the database using Prisma) and returns the data in the resulting response when execution is done.
+
+![require-auth-directive](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1051633/135320891-34dc06fc-b600-4c76-8a35-86bf42c7f179.png)
+
+In this second example, we add the Transformer directive `@welcome` to the `title` field on `Post` in the SDL.
+
+The GraphQL Execution phase proceeds the same as the prior example (because the `post` query is still protected and we'll want to fetch the user's name) and then the `title` field is resolved based on the data fetch query in the service.
+
+Finally after execution is done, then the directive can inspect the `resolvedValue` (here "Welcome to the blog!") and replace the value by inserting the current user's name—"Welcome, Tom, to the blog!"
+
+![welcome-directive](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1051633/135320906-5e2d639d-13a1-4aaf-85bf-98529822d244.png)
+
+### Validators
+
+Validators integrate with Redwood's authentication to evaluate whether or not a field, query, or mutation is permitted—that is, if the request context's `currentUser` is authenticated or belongs to one of the permitted roles.
+
+Validators should throw an Error such as `AuthenticationError` or `ForbiddenError` to deny access and simply return to allow.
+
+Here the `@isSubscriber` validator directive checks if the currentUser exists (and therefore is authenticated) and whether or not they have the `SUBSCRIBER` role. If they don't, then access is denied by throwing an error.
+
+```tsx
+import {
+ AuthenticationError,
+ ForbiddenError,
+ createValidatorDirective,
+ ValidatorDirectiveFunc,
+} from '@redwoodjs/graphql-server'
+import { hasRole } from 'src/lib/auth'
+
+export const schema = gql`
+ directive @isSubscriber on FIELD_DEFINITION
+`
+
+const validate: ValidatorDirectiveFunc = ({ context }) => {
+ if (!context.currentUser) {
+ throw new AuthenticationError("You don't have permission to do that.")
+ }
+
+ if (!context.currentUser.roles?.includes('SUBSCRIBER')) {
+ throw new ForbiddenError("You don't have access to do that.")
+ }
+}
+
+const isSubscriber = createValidatorDirective(schema, validate)
+
+export default isSubscriber
+```
+
+Since validator directives can access arguments (such as `roles`), you can quickly provide RBAC (Role-based Access Control) to fields, queries and mutations.
+
+```tsx
+import gql from 'graphql-tag'
+
+import { createValidatorDirective } from '@redwoodjs/graphql-server'
+
+import { requireAuth as applicationRequireAuth } from 'src/lib/auth'
+import { logger } from 'src/lib/logger'
+
+export const schema = gql`
+ directive @requireAuth(roles: [String]) on FIELD_DEFINITION
+`
+
+const validate = ({ directiveArgs }) => {
+ const { roles } = directiveArgs
+
+ applicationRequireAuth({ roles })
+}
+
+const requireAuth = createValidatorDirective(schema, validate)
+
+export default requireAuth
+```
+
+All Redwood apps come with two built-in validator directives: `@requireAuth` and `@skipAuth`.
+The `@requireAuth` directive takes optional roles.
+You may use these to protect against unwanted GraphQL access to your data.
+Or explicitly allow public access.
+
+> **Note:** Validators evaluate prior to resolving the field value, so you cannot modify the value and any return value is ignored.
+
+### Transformers
+
+Transformers can access the resolved field value to modify and then replace it in the response.
+Transformers apply to both single fields (such as a `User`'s `email`) and collections (such as a set of `Posts` that belong to `User`s) or is the result of a query. As such, Transformers cannot be applied to Mutations.
+
+In the first case of a single field, the directive would return the modified field value. In the latter case, the directive could iterate each `Post` and modify the `title` in each. In all cases, the directive **must** return the same expected "shape" of the data the SDL expects.
+
+> **Note:** you can chain directives to first validate and then transform, such as `@requireAuth @maskedEmail`. Or even combine transformations to cascade formatting a value (you could use `@uppercase` together with `@truncate` to uppercase a title and shorten to 10 characters).
+
+Since transformer directives can access arguments (such as `roles` or `maxLength`) you may fetch those values and use them when applying (or to check if you even should apply) your transformation.
+
+That means that a transformer directive could consider the `permittedRoles` in:
+
+```tsx
+type user {
+ email: String! @maskedEmail(permittedRoles: ["ADMIN"])
+}
+```
+
+and if the `currentUser` is an `ADMIN`, then skip the masking transform and simply return the original resolved field value:
+
+```jsx title="./api/src/directives/maskedEmail.directive.js"
+import { createTransformerDirective, TransformerDirectiveFunc } from '@redwoodjs/graphql-server'
+
+export const schema = gql`
+ directive @maskedEmail(permittedRoles: [String]) on FIELD_DEFINITION
+`
+
+const transform: TransformerDirectiveFunc = ({ context, resolvedValue }) => {
+ return resolvedValue.replace(/[a-zA-Z0-9]/i, '*')
+}
+
+const maskedEmail = createTransformerDirective(schema, transform)
+
+export default maskedEmail
+```
+
+and you would use it in your SDLs like this:
+
+```graphql
+type UserExample {
+ id: Int!
+ email: String! @maskedEmail # 👈 will replace alphanumeric characters with asterisks in the response!
+ name: String
+}
+```
+
+### Where can I use a Redwood Directive?
+
+A directive can only appear in certain locations in a GraphQL schema or operation. These locations are listed in the directive's definition.
+
+In the example below, the `@maskedEmail` example, the directive can only appear in the `FIELD_DEFINITION` location.
+
+An example of a `FIELD_DEFINITION` location is a field that exists on a `Type`:
+
+```graphql
+type UserExample {
+ id: Int!
+ email: String! @requireAuth
+ name: String @maskedEmail # 👈 will maskedEmail name in the response!
+}
+
+type Query {
+ userExamples: [UserExample!]! @requireAuth 👈 will enforce auth when fetching all users
+ userExamples(id: Int!): UserExample @requireAuth 👈 will enforce auth when fetching a single user
+}
+```
+
+> **Note**: Even though GraphQL supports `FIELD_DEFINITION | ARGUMENT_DEFINITION | INPUT_FIELD_DEFINITION | ENUM_VALUE` locations, RedwoodDirectives can **only** be declared on a `FIELD_DEFINITION` — that is, you **cannot** declare a directive in an `Input type`:
+>
+> ```graphql
+> input UserExampleInput {
+> email: String! @maskedEmail # 👈 🙅 not allowed on an input
+> name: String! @requireAuth # 👈 🙅 also not allowed on an input
+> }
+> ```
+
+## When Should I Use a Redwood Directive?
+
+As noted in the [GraphQL spec](https://graphql.org/learn/queries/#directives):
+
+> Directives can be useful to get out of situations where you otherwise would need to do string manipulation to add and remove fields in your query. Server implementations may also add experimental features by defining completely new directives.
+
+Here's a helpful guide for deciding when you should use one of Redwood's Validator or Transformer directives:
+
+| | Use | Directive | Custom? | Type |
+| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
+| ✅ | Check if the request is authenticated? | `@requireAuth` | Built-in | Validator |
+| ✅ | Check if the user belongs to a role? | `@requireAuth(roles: ["AUTHOR"])` | Built-in | Validator |
+| ✅ | Only allow admins to see emails, but others get a masked value like "###@######.###" | `@maskedEmail(roles: ["ADMIN"])` | Custom | Transformer |
+| 🙅 | Know if the logged in user can edit the record, and/or values | N/A - Instead do this check in your service |
+| 🙅 | Is my input a valid email address format? | N/A - Instead do this check in your service using [Service Validations](services.md#service-validations) or consider [GraphQL Scalars](https://www.graphql-scalars.dev) |
+| 🙅 | I want to remove a field from the response for data filtering; for example, do not include the title of the post | `@skip(if: true )` or `@include(if: false)` | Instead use [core directives](https://graphql.org/learn/queries/#directives) on the GraphQL client query, not the SDL | Core GraphQL |
+
+## Combining, Chaining and Cascading Directives
+
+Now that you've seen what Validator and Transformer directives look like and where and when you may use them, you may wonder: can I use them together? Can I transform the result of a transformer?
+
+The answer is: yes—yes you can!
+
+### Combine Directives on a Query and a Type Field
+
+Let's say you want to only allow logged-in users to be able to query `User` details and you only want un-redacted email addresses to be shown to ADMINs.
+
+You can apply the `@requireAuth` directive to the `user(id: Int!)` query so you have to be logged in.
+Then, you can compose a `@maskedEmail` directive that checks the logged-in user's role membership and if they're not an ADMIN, mask the email address:
+
+```tsx
+ type User {
+ id: Int!
+ name: String!
+ email: String! @maskedEmail(role: "ADMIN")
+ createdAt: DateTime!
+ }
+
+ type Query {
+ user(id: Int!): User @requireAuth
+ }
+```
+
+Or, let's say I want to only allow logged in users to be able to query User details.
+
+But, I only want ADMIN users to be able to query and fetch the email address.
+
+I can apply the `@requireAuth` directive to the `user(id: Int!)` query so I have to be logged in.
+
+And, I can apply the `@requireAuth` directive to the `email` field with a role argument.
+
+```tsx
+ type User {
+ id: Int!
+ name: String!
+ email: String! @requireAuth(role: "ADMIN")
+ createdAt: DateTime!
+ }
+
+ type Query {
+ user(id: Int!): User @requireAuth
+ }
+```
+
+Now, if a user who is not an ADMIN queries:
+
+```tsx
+query user(id: 1) {
+ id
+ name
+ createdAt
+}
+```
+
+They will get a result.
+
+But, if they try to query:
+
+```tsx
+query user(id: 1) {
+ id
+ name
+ email
+ createdAt
+}
+```
+
+They will be forbidden from even making the request.
+
+### Chaining a Validator and a Transformer
+
+Similar to the prior example, you may want to chain directives, but the transform doesn't consider authentication or role membership.
+
+For example, here we ensure that anyone trying to query a User and fetch the email must be authenticated.
+
+And then, if they are, apply a mask to the email field.
+
+```tsx
+ type User {
+ id: Int!
+ name: String!
+ email: String! @requireAuth @maskedEmail
+ createdAt: DateTime!
+ }
+```
+
+### Cascade Transformers
+
+Maybe you want to apply multiple field formatting?
+
+If your request event headers includes geographic or timezone info, you could compose a custom Transformer directive called `@localTimezone` could inspect the header value and convert the `createdAt` from UTC to local time -- something often done in the browser.
+
+Then, you can chain the `@dateFormat` Transformer, to just return the date portion of the timestamp -- and not the time.
+
+```tsx
+ type User {
+ id: Int!
+ name: String!
+ email: String!
+ createdAt: DateTime! @localTimezone @dateFormat
+ }
+```
+
+> **Note**: These directives could be alternatively be implemented as "operation directives" so the client can use them on a query instead of the schema-level. These such directives are a potential future Redwood directive feature.
+
+## GraphQL Handler Setup
+
+Redwood makes it easy to code, organize, and map your directives into your GraphQL schema.
+Simply add them to the `directives` directory and the `createGraphQLHandler` does all the work.
+
+You simply add them to the `directives` directory and the `createGraphQLHandler` will do all the work.
+
+> **Note**: Redwood has a generator that will do all the heavy lifting setup for you!
+
+```tsx title="api/src/functions/graphql.ts"
+import { createGraphQLHandler } from '@redwoodjs/graphql-server'
+
+import directives from 'src/directives/**/*.{js,ts}' // 👈 directives live here
+import sdls from 'src/graphql/**/*.sdl.{js,ts}'
+import services from 'src/services/**/*.{js,ts}'
+
+import { db } from 'src/lib/db'
+import { logger } from 'src/lib/logger'
+
+export const handler = createGraphQLHandler({
+ loggerConfig: { logger, options: {} },
+ directives, // 👈 directives are added to the schema here
+ sdls,
+ services,
+ onException: () => {
+ // Disconnect from your database with an unhandled exception.
+ db.$disconnect()
+ },
+})
+```
+
+## Secure by Default with Built-in Directives
+
+By default, your GraphQL endpoint is open to the world.
+
+That means anyone can request any query and invoke any Mutation.
+Whatever types and fields are defined in your SDL is data that anyone can access.
+
+But Redwood encourages being secure by default by defaulting all queries and mutations to have the `@requireAuth` directive when generating SDL or a service.
+When your app builds and your server starts up, Redwood checks that **all** queries and mutations have `@requireAuth`, `@skipAuth` or a custom directive applied.
+
+If not, then your build will fail:
+
+```bash
+ ✖ Verifying graphql schema...
+ Building API...
+ Cleaning Web...
+ Building Web...
+ Prerendering Web...
+You must specify one of @requireAuth, @skipAuth or a custom directive for
+- contacts Query
+- posts Query
+- post Query
+- updatePost Mutation
+- deletePost Mutation
+```
+
+or your server won't startup and you should see that "Schema validation failed":
+
+```bash
+gen | Generating TypeScript definitions and GraphQL schemas...
+gen | 47 files generated
+api | Building... Took 593 ms
+api | [GQL Server Error] - Schema validation failed
+api | ----------------------------------------
+api | You must specify one of @requireAuth, @skipAuth or a custom directive for
+api | - posts Query
+api | - createPost Mutation
+api | - updatePost Mutation
+api | - deletePost Mutation
+```
+
+To correct, just add the appropriate directive to your queries and mutations.
+
+If not, then your build will fail and your server won't startup.
+
+### @requireAuth
+
+It's your responsibility to implement the `requireAuth()` function in your app's `api/src/lib/auth.{js|ts}` to check if the user is properly authenticated and/or has the expected role membership.
+
+The `@requireAuth` directive will call the `requireAuth()` function to determine if the user is authenticated or not.
+
+```tsx title="api/src/lib/auth.ts"
+// ...
+
+export const isAuthenticated = (): boolean => {
+ return true // 👈 replace with the appropriate check
+}
+
+// ...
+
+export const requireAuth = ({ roles }: { roles: AllowedRoles }) => {
+ if (isAuthenticated()) {
+ throw new AuthenticationError("You don't have permission to do that.")
+ }
+
+ if (!hasRole({ roles })) {
+ throw new ForbiddenError("You don't have access to do that.")
+ }
+}
+```
+
+> **Note**: The `auth.ts` file here is the stub for a new RedwoodJS app. Once you have setup auth with your provider, this will enforce a proper authentication check.
+
+### @skipAuth
+
+If, however, you want your query or mutation to be public, then simply use `@skipAuth`.
+
+## Custom Directives
+
+Want to write your own directive? You can of course!
+Just generate one using the Redwood CLI; it takes care of the boilerplate and even gives you a handy test!
+
+### Generators
+
+When using the `yarn redwood generate` command,
+you'll be presented with a choice of creating a Validator or a Transformer directive.
+
+```bash
+yarn redwood generate directive myDirective
+
+? What type of directive would you like to generate? › - Use arrow-keys. Return to submit.
+❯ Validator - Implement a validation: throw an error if criteria not met to stop execution
+ Transformer - Modify values of fields or query responses
+```
+
+> **Note:** You can pass the `--type` flag with either `validator` or `transformer` to create the desired directive type.
+
+After picking the directive type, the files will be created in your `api/src/directives` directory:
+
+```bash
+ ✔ Generating directive file ...
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/directives/myDirective/myDirective.test.ts`
+ ✔ Successfully wrote file `./api/src/directives/myDirective/myDirective.ts`
+ ✔ Generating TypeScript definitions and GraphQL schemas ...
+ ✔ Next steps...
+
+ After modifying your directive, you can add it to your SDLs e.g.:
+ // example todo.sdl.js
+ # Option A: Add it to a field
+ type Todo {
+ id: Int!
+ body: String! @myDirective
+ }
+
+ # Option B: Add it to query/mutation
+ type Query {
+ todos: [Todo] @myDirective
+ }
+```
+
+### Validator
+
+Let's create a `@isSubscriber` directive that checks roles to see if the user is a subscriber.
+
+```bash
+yarn rw g directive isSubscriber --type validator
+```
+
+Next, implement your validation logic in the directive's `validate` function.
+
+Validator directives don't have access to the field value, (i.e. they're called before resolving the value). But they do have access to the `context` and `directiveArgs`.
+They can be async or sync.
+And if you want to stop executing (because of insufficient permissions for example), throw an error.
+The return value is ignored
+
+An example of `directiveArgs` is the `roles` argument in the directive `requireAuth(roles: "ADMIN")`
+
+```tsx
+const validate: ValidatorDirectiveFunc = ({ context, directiveArgs }) => {
+ // You can also modify your directive to take arguments
+ // and use the directiveArgs object provided to this function to get values
+ logger.debug(directiveArgs, 'directiveArgs in isSubscriber directive')
+
+ throw new Error('Implementation missing for isSubscriber')
+}
+```
+
+Here we can access the `context` parameter and then check to see if the `currentUser` is authenticated and if they belong to the `SUBSCRIBER` role:
+
+```tsx title="/api/src/directives/isSubscriber/isSubscriber.ts"
+// ...
+
+const validate: ValidatorDirectiveFunc = ({ context }) => {
+ if (!context.currentUser)) {
+ throw new AuthenticationError("You don't have permission to do that.")
+ }
+
+ if (!context.currentUser.roles?.includes('SUBSCRIBER')) {
+ throw new ForbiddenError("You don't have access to do that.")
+ }
+}
+```
+
+#### Writing Validator Tests
+
+When writing a Validator directive test, you'll want to:
+
+- ensure the directive is named consistently and correctly so the directive name maps properly when validating
+- confirm that the directive throws an error when invalid. The Validator directive should always have a reason to throw an error
+
+Since we stub out the `Error('Implementation missing for isSubscriber')` case when generating the Validator directive, these tests should pass.
+But once you begin implementing the validate logic, it's on you to update appropriately.
+
+```tsx
+import { mockRedwoodDirective, getDirectiveName } from '@redwoodjs/testing/api'
+
+import isSubscriber from './isSubscriber'
+
+describe('isSubscriber directive', () => {
+ it('declares the directive sdl as schema, with the correct name', () => {
+ expect(isSubscriber.schema).toBeTruthy()
+ expect(getDirectiveName(isSubscriber.schema)).toBe('isSubscriber')
+ })
+
+ it('has a isSubscriber throws an error if validation does not pass', () => {
+ const mockExecution = mockRedwoodDirective(isSubscriber, {})
+
+ expect(mockExecution).toThrowError('Implementation missing for isSubscriber')
+ })
+})
+```
+
+:::tip
+If your Validator Directive is asynchronous, you can use `mockAsyncRedwoodDirective` instead.
+
+```ts
+import { mockAsyncRedwoodDirective } from '@redwoodjs/testing/api'
+
+// ...
+
+describe('isSubscriber directive', () => {
+ it('has a isSubscriber throws an error if validation does not pass', async () => {
+ const mockExecution = mockAsyncRedwoodDirective(isSubscriber, {})
+ await expect(mockExecution()).rejects.toThrowError(
+ 'Implementation missing for isSubscriber'
+ )
+ })
+})
+```
+
+:::
+
+### Transformer
+
+Let's create a `@maskedEmail` directive that checks roles to see if the user should see the complete email address or if it should be obfuscated from prying eyes:
+
+```bash
+yarn rw g directive maskedEmail --type transformer
+```
+
+Next, implement your validation logic in the directive's `transform` function.
+
+Transformer directives provide `context` and `resolvedValue` parameters and run **after** resolving the value.
+Transformer directives **must** be synchronous, and return a value.
+You can throw an error, if you want to stop executing, but note that the value has already been resolved.
+
+Take note of the `resolvedValue`:
+
+```tsx
+const transform: TransformerDirectiveFunc = ({ context, resolvedValue }) => {
+ return resolvedValue.replace('foo', 'bar')
+}
+```
+
+It contains the value of the field on which the directive was placed. Here, `email`.
+So the `resolvedValue` will be the value of the email property in the User model, the "original value" so-to-speak.
+
+When you return a value from the `transform` function, just return a modified value and that will be returned as the result and replace the `email` value in the response.
+
+> 🛎️ **Important**
+>
+> You must return a value of the same type. So, if your `resolvedValue` is a `String`, return a `String`. If it's a `Date`, return a `Date`. Otherwise, your data will not match the SDL Type.
+
+#### Writing Transformer Tests
+
+When writing a Transformer directive test, you'll want to:
+
+- ensure the directive is named consistently and correctly so the directive name maps properly when transforming
+- confirm that the directive returns a value and that it's the expected transformed value
+
+Since we stub out and mock the `mockedResolvedValue` when generating the Transformer directive, these tests should pass.
+
+Here we mock the value `foo` and, since the generated `transform` function replaces `foo` with `bar`, we expect that after execution, the returned value will be `bar`.
+But once you begin implementing the validate logic, it's on you to update appropriately.
+
+```tsx
+import { mockRedwoodDirective, getDirectiveName } from '@redwoodjs/testing/api'
+
+import maskedEmail from './maskedEmail'
+
+describe('maskedEmail directive', () => {
+ it('declares the directive sdl as schema, with the correct name', () => {
+ expect(maskedEmail.schema).toBeTruthy()
+ expect(getDirectiveName(maskedEmail.schema)).toBe('maskedEmail')
+ })
+
+ it('has a maskedEmail implementation transforms the value', () => {
+ const mockExecution = mockRedwoodDirective(maskedEmail, {
+ mockedResolvedValue: 'foo',
+ })
+
+ expect(mockExecution()).toBe('bar')
+ })
+})
+```
+
+:::tip
+If your Transformer Directive is asynchronous, you can use `mockAsyncRedwoodDirective` instead.
+
+```ts
+import { mockAsyncRedwoodDirective } from '@redwoodjs/testing/api'
+
+// ...
+
+import maskedEmail from './maskedEmail'
+
+describe('maskedEmail directive', () => {
+ it('has a maskedEmail implementation transforms the value', async () => {
+ const mockExecution = mockAsyncRedwoodDirective(maskedEmail, {
+ mockedResolvedValue: 'foo',
+ })
+
+ await expect(mockExecution()).resolves.toBe('bar')
+ })
+})
+```

+description: Redwood's Dockerfile
+---
+
+# Docker
+
+:::note The Dockerfile is experimental
+
+Redwood's Dockerfile is the collective effort of several hard-working community members.
+We've worked hard to optimize it, but expect changes as we collaborate with users and deploy providers.
+
+:::
+
+If you're not familiar with Docker, we recommend going through their [getting started](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/) documentation.
+
+## Set up
+
+To get started, run the setup command:
+
+```
+yarn rw experimental setup-docker
+```
+
+The setup commands does several things:
+- writes four files: `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`, `docker-compose.dev.yml`, and `docker-compose.prod.yml`
+- adds the `@redwoodjs/api-server` and `@redwoodjs/web-server` packages to the api and web sides respectively
+- edits the `browser.open` setting in the `redwood.toml` (right now, if it's set to `true`, it'll break the dev server when running the `docker-compose.dev.yml`)
+
+## Usage
+
+You can start the dev compose file with:
+
+```
+docker compose -f ./docker-compose.dev.yml up
+```
+
+And the prod compose file with:
+
+```
+docker compose -f ./docker-compose.prod.yml up
+```
+
+:::info make sure to specify build args
+
+If your api side or web side depend on env vars at build time, you may need to supply them as `--build-args`, or in the compose files.
+
+This is often the most tedious part of setting up Docker. Have ideas of how it could be better? Let us know on the [forums](https://community.redwoodjs.com/)!
+
+:::
+
+The first time you do this, you'll have to use the `console` stage to go in and migrate the database—just like you would with a Redwood app on your machine:
+
+```
+docker compose -f ./docker-compose.dev.yml run --rm -it console /bin/bash
+root@...:/home/node/app# yarn rw prisma migrate dev
+```
+
+## The Dockerfile in detail
+
+The documentation here goes through and explains every line of Redwood's Dockerfile.
+If you'd like to see the whole Dockerfile for reference, you can find it [here](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/tree/main/packages/cli/src/commands/experimental/templates/docker/Dockerfile) or by setting it up in your project: `yarn rw experimental setup-docker`.
+
+Redwood takes advantage of [Docker's multi-stage build support](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-stage/) to keep the final production images lean.
+
+### The `base` stage
+
+The `base` stage installs dependencies.
+It's used as the base image for the build stages and the `console` stage.
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM node:20-bookworm-slim as base
+```
+
+We use a Node.js 20 image as the base image because that's the version Redwood targets.
+"bookworm" is the codename for the current stable distribution of Debian (version 12).
+Lastly, the "slim" variant of the `node:20-bookworm` image only includes what Node.js needs which reduces the image's size while making it more secure.
+
+:::tip Why not alpine?
+
+While alpine may be smaller, it uses musl, a different C standard library.
+In developing this Dockerfile, we prioritized security over size.
+
+If you know what you're doing feel free to change this—it's your Dockerfile now!
+Just remember to change the `apt-get` instructions further down too if needed.
+
+:::
+
+Moving on, next we have `corepack enable`:
+
+```Dockerfile
+RUN corepack enable
+```
+
+[Corepack](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v18.x/api/corepack.html), Node's manager for package managers, needs to be enabled so that Yarn can use the `packageManager` field in your project's root `package.json` to pick the right version of itself.
+If you'd rather check in the binary, you still can, but you'll need to remember to copy it over (i.e. `COPY --chown=node:node .yarn/releases .yarn/releases`).
+
+```Dockerfile
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+ openssl \
+ # python3 make gcc \
+ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+```
+
+The `node:20-bookworm-slim` image doesn't have [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/), which [seems to be a bug](https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/issues/1919).
+(It was included in the "bullseye" image, the codename for Debian 11.)
+On Linux, [Prisma needs OpenSSL](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/system-requirements#linux-runtime-dependencies), so we install it here via Ubuntu's package manager APT.
+Python and its dependencies are there ready to be uncommented if you need them. See the [Troubleshooting](#python) section for more information.
+
+[It's recommended](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/instructions/#apt-get) to combine `apt-get update` and `apt-get install -y` in the same `RUN` statement for cache busting.
+After installing, we clean up the apt cache to keep the layer lean. (Running `apt-get clean` isn't required—[official Debian images do it automatically](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/03e2923e42446dbb830c654d0eec323a0b4ef02a/contrib/mkimage/debootstrap#L82-L105).)
+
+```Dockerfile
+USER node
+```
+
+This and subsequent `chown` options in `COPY` instructions are for security.
+[Services that can run without privileges should](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/instructions/#user).
+The Node.js image includes a user, `node`, created with an explicit `uid` and `gid` (`1000`).
+We reuse it.
+
+```Dockerfile
+WORKDIR /home/node/app
+
+COPY --chown=node:node .yarnrc.yml .
+COPY --chown=node:node package.json .
+COPY --chown=node:node api/package.json api/
+COPY --chown=node:node web/package.json web/
+COPY --chown=node:node yarn.lock .
+```
+
+Here we copy the minimum set of files that the `yarn install` step needs.
+The order isn't completely arbitrary—it tries to maximize [Docker's layer caching](https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/).
+We expect `yarn.lock` to change more than the `package.json`s and the `package.json`s to change more than `.yarnrc.yml`.
+That said, it's hard to argue that these files couldn't be arranged differently, or that the `COPY` instructions couldn't be combined.
+The important thing is that they're all here, before the `yarn install` step:
+
+```Dockerfile
+RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.yarn/berry/index
+RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.cache
+
+RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/home/node/.yarn/berry/cache,uid=1000 \
+ --mount=type=cache,target=/home/node/.cache,uid=1000 \
+ CI=1 yarn install
+```
+
+This step installs all your project's dependencies—production and dev.
+Since we use multi-stage builds, your production images won't pay for the dev dependencies installed in this step.
+The build stages need the dev dependencies.
+
+The `mkdir` steps are a workaround for a permission error. We're working on removing them, but for now if you remove them the install step will probably fail.
+
+This step is a bit more involved than the others.
+It uses a [cache mount](https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/#use-your-package-manager-wisely).
+Yarn operates in three steps: resolution, fetch, and link.
+If you're not careful, the cache for the fetch step basically doubles the number of `node_modules` installed on disk.
+We could disable it all together, but by using a cache mount, we can still get the benefits without paying twice.
+We set it to the default directory here, but you can change its location in `.yarnrc.yml`.
+If you've done so you'll have to change it here too.
+
+One more thing to note: without setting `CI=1`, depending on the deploy provider, yarn may think it's in a TTY, making the logs difficult to read. With this set, yarn adapts accordingly.
+Enabling CI enables [immutable installs](https://v3.yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc#enableImmutableInstalls) and [inline builds](https://v3.yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc#enableInlineBuilds), both of which are highly recommended.
+
+```Dockerfile
+COPY --chown=node:node redwood.toml .
+COPY --chown=node:node graphql.config.js .
+COPY --chown=node:node .env.defaults .env.defaults
+```
+
+We'll need these config files for the build and production stages.
+The `redwood.toml` file is Redwood's de-facto config file.
+Both the build and serve stages read it to enable and configure functionality.
+
+:::warning `.env.defaults` is ok to include but `.env` is not
+
+If you add a secret to the Dockerfile, it can be excavated.
+While it's technically true that multi stage builds add a sort of security layer, it's not a best practice.
+Leave them out and look to your deploy provider for further configuration.
+
+:::
+
+### The `api_build` stage
+
+The `api_build` stage builds the api side:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM base as api_build
+
+# If your api side build relies on build-time environment variables,
+# specify them here as ARGs.
+#
+# ARG MY_BUILD_TIME_ENV_VAR
+
+COPY --chown=node:node api api
+RUN yarn rw build api
+```
+
+After the work we did in the base stage, building the api side amounts to copying in the api directory and running `yarn rw build api`.
+
+### The `api_serve` stage
+
+The `api_serve` stage serves your GraphQL api and functions:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM node:20-bookworm-slim as api_serve
+
+RUN corepack enable
+
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+ openssl \
+ # python3 make gcc \
+ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+```
+
+We don't start from the `base` stage, but begin anew with the `node:20-bookworm-slim` image.
+Since this is a production stage, it's important for it to be as small as possible.
+Docker's [multi-stage builds](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-stage/) enables this.
+
+```Dockerfile
+USER node
+WORKDIR /home/node/app
+
+COPY --chown=node:node .yarnrc.yml .yarnrc.yml
+COPY --chown=node:node package.json .
+COPY --chown=node:node api/package.json api/
+COPY --chown=node:node yarn.lock yarn.lock
+```
+
+Like other `COPY` instructions, ordering these files with care enables layering caching.
+
+```Dockerfile
+RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.yarn/berry/index
+RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.cache
+
+RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/home/node/.yarn/berry/cache,uid=1000 \
+ --mount=type=cache,target=/home/node/.cache,uid=1000 \
+ CI=1 yarn workspaces focus api --production
+```
+
+This is a critical step for image size.
+We don't use the regular `yarn install` command.
+Using the [official workspaces plugin](https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/tree/master/packages/plugin-workspace-tools)—which is included by default in yarn v4—we "focus" on the api workspace, only installing its production dependencies.
+
+The cache mount will be populated at this point from the install in the `base` stage, so the fetch step should fly by.
+
+```Dockerfile
+COPY --chown=node:node redwood.toml .
+COPY --chown=node:node graphql.config.js .
+COPY --chown=node:node .env.defaults .env.defaults
+
+COPY --chown=node:node --from=api_build /home/node/app/api/dist /home/node/app/api/dist
+COPY --chown=node:node --from=api_build /home/node/app/api/db /home/node/app/api/db
+COPY --chown=node:node --from=api_build /home/node/app/node_modules/.prisma /home/node/app/node_modules/.prisma
+```
+
+Here's where we really take advantage of multi-stage builds by copying from the `api_build` stage.
+At this point all the building has been done. Now we can just grab the artifacts without having to lug around the dev dependencies.
+
+There's one more thing that was built: the prisma client in `node_modules/.prisma`.
+We need to grab it too.
+
+```Dockerfile
+ENV NODE_ENV=production
+
+CMD [ "node_modules/.bin/rw-server", "api" ]
+```
+
+Lastly, the default command is to start the api server using the bin from the `@redwoodjs/api-server` package.
+You can override this command if you have more specific needs.
+
+Note that the Redwood CLI isn't available anymore. (It's a dev dependency.)
+To access the server bin, we have to find its path in `node_modules`.
+Though this is somewhat discouraged in modern yarn, since we're using the `node-modules` node linker, it's in `node_modules/.bin`.
+
+### The `web_build` stage
+
+This `web_build` builds the web side:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM base as web_build
+
+COPY --chown=node:node web web
+RUN yarn rw build web --no-prerender
+```
+
+After the work we did in the base stage, building the web side amounts to copying in the web directory and running `yarn rw build web`.
+
+This stage is a bit of a simplification.
+It foregoes Redwood's prerendering (SSG) capability.
+Prerendering is a little trickier; see [the `web_prerender_build` stage](#the-web_prerender_build-stage).
+
+If you've included environment variables in your `redwood.toml`'s `web.includeEnvironmentVariables` field, you'll want to specify them as ARGs here.
+The setup command should've inlined them for you.
+
+### The `web_prerender_build` stage
+
+The `web_prerender_build` stage builds the web side with prerender.
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM api_build as web_build_with_prerender
+
+COPY --chown=node:node web web
+RUN yarn rw build web
+```
+
+Building the web side with prerendering poses a challenge.
+Prerender needs the api side around to get data for your Cells and route hooks.
+The key line here is the first one—this stage uses the `api_build` stage as its base image.
+
+### The `web_serve` stage
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM node:20-bookworm-slim as web_serve
+
+RUN corepack enable
+
+USER node
+WORKDIR /home/node/app
+
+COPY --chown=node:node .yarnrc.yml .
+COPY --chown=node:node package.json .
+COPY --chown=node:node web/package.json web/
+COPY --chown=node:node yarn.lock .
+
+RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.yarn/berry/index
+RUN mkdir -p /home/node/.cache
+
+RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/home/node/.yarn/berry/cache,uid=1000 \
+ --mount=type=cache,target=/home/node/.cache,uid=1000 \
+ CI=1 yarn workspaces focus web --production
+
+COPY --chown=node:node redwood.toml .
+COPY --chown=node:node graphql.config.js .
+COPY --chown=node:node .env.defaults .env.defaults
+
+COPY --chown=node:node --from=web_build /home/node/app/web/dist /home/node/app/web/dist
+
+ENV NODE_ENV=production \
+ API_PROXY_TARGET=http://api:8911
+
+CMD "node_modules/.bin/rw-web-server" "--api-proxy-target" "$API_PROXY_TARGET"
+```
+
+Most of this stage is similar to the `api_serve` stage, except that we're copying from the `web_build` stage instead of the `api_build`.
+(If you're prerendering, you'll want to change the `--from=web_build` to `--from=web_prerender_build`.)
+
+The binary we're using here to serve the web side is `rw-web-server` which comes from the `@redwoodjs/web-server` package.
+While this web server will be much more fully featured in the future, right now it's mostly just to get you going.
+Ideally you want to put a web server like Nginx or Caddy in front of it.
+
+Lastly, note that we use the shell form of `CMD` here for its variable expansion.
+
+### The `console` stage
+
+The `console` stage is an optional stage for debugging:
+
+```Dockerfile
+FROM base as console
+
+# To add more packages:
+#
+# ```
+# USER root
+#
+# RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+# curl
+#
+# USER node
+# ```
+
+COPY --chown=node:node api api
+COPY --chown=node:node web web
+COPY --chown=node:node scripts scripts
+```
+
+The console stage completes the base stage by copying in the rest of your Redwood app.
+But then it pretty much leaves you to your own devices.
+The intended way to use it is to create an ephemeral container by starting a shell like `/bin/bash` in the image built by targeting this stage:
+
+```bash
+# Build the console image:
+docker build . -t console --target console
+# Start an ephemeral container from it:
+docker run --rm -it console /bin/bash
+```
+
+As the comment says, feel free to add more packages.
+We intentionally kept them to a minimum in the base stage, but you shouldn't worry about the size of the image here.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Python
+
+We tried to make the Dockerfile as lean as possible.
+In some cases, that means we excluded a dependency your project needs.
+And by far the most common is Python.
+
+During a stage's `yarn install` step (`RUN ... yarn install`), if you see an error like the following:
+
+```
+➤ YN0000: │ bufferutil@npm:4.0.8 STDERR gyp ERR! find Python
+➤ YN0000: │ bufferutil@npm:4.0.8 STDERR gyp ERR! find Python Python is not set from command line or npm configuration

+➤ YN0000: │ bufferutil@npm:4.0.8 STDERR gyp ERR! find Python
+```
+
+It's because your project depends on Python and the image doesn't provide it.
+
+It's easy to fix: just add `python3` and its dependencies (usually `make` and `gcc`):
+
+```diff
+ FROM node:20-bookworm-slim as base
+
+ RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+ openssl \
++ python3 make gcc \
+ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+```
+
+Not sure why your project depends on Python? `yarn why` is your friend.
+From the error message, we know `bufferutil` couldn't build.
+But why do we have `bufferutil`?
+
+```
+yarn why bufferutil
+└─ websocket@npm:1.0.34
+ └─ bufferutil@npm:4.0.8 (via npm:^4.0.1)
+```
+
+`websocket` needs `bufferutil`. But why do we have `websocket`?
+Keep pulling the thread till you get to a top-level dependency:
+
+```
+yarn why websocket
+└─ @supabase/realtime-js@npm:2.8.4
+ └─ websocket@npm:1.0.34 (via npm:^1.0.34)
+
+yarn why @supabase/realtime-js
+└─ @supabase/supabase-js@npm:2.38.4
+ └─ @supabase/realtime-js@npm:2.8.4 (via npm:^2.8.4)
+
+yarn why @supabase/supabase-js
+├─ api@workspace:api
+│ └─ @supabase/supabase-js@npm:2.38.4 (via npm:^2.21.0)
+│
+└─ web@workspace:web
+ └─ @supabase/supabase-js@npm:2.38.4 (via npm:^2.21.0)
+```
+
+In this case, it looks like it's ultimately because of our auth provider, `@supabase/supabase-js`.
+
+## Using the Server File
+
+Redwood v7 introduced a new entry point to Redwood's api server: the server file at `api/src/server.ts`.
+The server file was made with Docker in mind. It allows you to
+
+1. have control over how the api server starts,
+2. customize the server as much as you want, and
+3. minimize the number of dependencies needed to start the api server process (all you need is Node.js!)
+
+Get started by running the setup command:
+
+```
+yarn rw setup server-file
+```
+
+This should give you a new file at `api/src/server.ts`:
+
+```typescript title="api/src/server.ts"
+import { createServer } from '@redwoodjs/api-server'
+
+import { logger } from 'src/lib/logger'
+
+async function main() {
+ const server = await createServer({
+ logger,
+ })
+
+ await server.start()
+}
+
+main()
+```
+
+Without the server file, to start the api side, you'd use binaries provided by `@redwoodjs/api-server` such as `yarn rw-server api` (you may also see this as `./node_modules/.bin/rw-server api`).
+
+With the server file, there's no indirection. Just use `node`:
+
+```
+yarn node api/dist/server.js
+```
+
+:::info You have to build first
+
+You can't run the server file directly with Node.js; it has to be built first:
+
+```
+yarn rw build api
+```
+
+The api serve stage in the Dockerfile pulls from the api build stage, so things are already in the right order there. Similarly, for `yarn rw dev`, the dev server will build and reload the server file for you.
+
+:::
+
+That means you can swap the `CMD` instruction in the api server stage:
+
+```diff
+ ENV NODE_ENV=production
+
+- CMD [ "node_modules/.bin/rw-server", "api" ]
++ CMD [ "yarn", "node", "api/dist/server.js" ]
+```
+
+### Configuring the server
+
+There's two ways you can configure the server.
+
+First, you can configure how the underlying Fastify server is instantiated via the`fastifyServerOptions` passed to the `createServer` function:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+const server = await createServer({
+ logger,
+ // highlight-start
+ fastifyServerOptions: {
+ // ...
+ }
+ // highlight-end
+})
+```
+
+For the complete list of options, see [Fastify's documentation](https://fastify.dev/docs/latest/Reference/Server/#factory).
+
+Second, you can register Fastify plugins on the server instance:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+const server = await createServer({
+ logger,
+})
+
+// highlight-next-line
+server.register(myFastifyPlugin)
+```
+
+#### Example: Compressing Payloads and Rate Limiting
+
+Let's say that we want to compress payloads and add rate limiting.
+We want to compress payloads only if they're larger than 1KB, preferring deflate to gzip,
+and we want to limit IP addresses to 100 requests in a five minute window.
+We can leverage two Fastify ecosystem plugins, [@fastify/compress](https://github.com/fastify/fastify-compress) and [@fastify/rate-limit](https://github.com/fastify/fastify-rate-limit) respectively.
+
+First, you'll need to install these packages:
+
+```
+yarn workspace api add @fastify/compress @fastify/rate-limit
+```
+
+Then register them with the appropriate config:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+const server = await createServer({
+ logger,
+})
+
+await server.register(import('@fastify/compress'), {
+ global: true,
+ threshold: 1024,
+ encodings: ['deflate', 'gzip'],
+})
+
+await server.register(import('@fastify/rate-limit'), {
+ max: 100,
+ timeWindow: '5 minutes',
+})
+```
+
+#### Example: File Uploads
+
+If you try to POST file content to the api server such as images or PDFs, you may see the following error from Fastify:
+
+```json
+{
+ "statusCode": 400,
+ "code": "FST_ERR_CTP_INVALID_CONTENT_LENGTH",
+ "error": "Bad Request",
+ "message": "Request body size did not match Content-Length"
+}
+```
+
+This's because Fastify [only supports `application/json` and `text/plain` content types natively](https://www.fastify.io/docs/latest/Reference/ContentTypeParser/).
+While Redwood configures the api server to also accept `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and `multipart/form-data`, if you want to support other content or MIME types (likes images or PDFs), you'll need to configure them here in the server file.
+
+You can use Fastify's `addContentTypeParser` function to allow uploads of the content types your application needs.
+For example, to support image file uploads you'd tell Fastify to allow `/^image\/.*/` content types:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+const server = await createServer({
+ logger,
+})
+
+server.addContentTypeParser(/^image\/.*/, (req, payload, done) => {
+ payload.on('end', () => {
+ done()
+ })
+})
+```
+
+The regular expression (`/^image\/.*/`) above allows all image content or MIME types because [they start with "image"](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Image_types).
+
+Now, when you POST those content types to a function served by the api server, you can access the file content on `event.body`.
+
+### The `start` method
+
+Since there's a few different ways to configure the host and port the server listens at, the server instance returned by `createServer` has a special `start` method:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+await server.start()
+```
+
+`start` is a thin wrapper around [`listen`](https://fastify.dev/docs/latest/Reference/Server/#listen).
+It takes the same arguments as `listen`, except for host and port. It computes those in the following way, in order of precedence:
+
+1. `--apiHost` or `--apiPort` flags:
+
+ ```
+ yarn node api/dist/server.js --apiHost 0.0.0.0 --apiPort 8913
+ ```
+
+2. `REDWOOD_API_HOST` or `REDWOOD_API_PORT` env vars:
+
+ ```
+ export REDWOOD_API_HOST='0.0.0.0'
+ export REDWOOD_API_PORT='8913'
+ yarn node api/dist/server.js
+ ```
+
+3. `[api].host` and `[api].port` in `redwood.toml`:
+
+ ```toml title="redwood.toml"
+ [api]
+ host = '0.0.0.0'
+ port = 8913
+ ```
+
+If you'd rather not have `createServer` parsing `process.argv`, you can disable it via `parseArgv`:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+await createServer({
+ parseArgv: false,
+})
+```
+
+And if you'd rather it do none of this, just change `start` to `listen` and specify the host and port inline:
+
+```ts title="api/src/server.ts"
+await server.listen({
+ host: '0.0.0.0',
+ port: 8913,
+})
+```
+
+If you don't specify a host, `createServer` uses `NODE_ENV` to set it. If `NODE_ENV` is production, it defaults to `'0.0.0.0'` and `'::'` otherwise.
+The Dockerfile sets `NODE_ENV` to production so that things work out of the box.

+description: How to use environment variables on the api and web sides
+---
+
+# Environment Variables
+
+You can provide environment variables to each side of your Redwood app in different ways, depending on each Side's target, and whether you're in development or production.
+
+> Right now, Redwood apps have two fixed Sides, API and Web, that each have a single target, nodejs and browser respectively.
+
+## Generally
+
+Redwood apps use [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) to load vars from your `.env` file into `process.env`.
+For a reference on dotenv syntax, see the dotenv README's [Rules](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv#rules) section.
+
+> Technically, we use [dotenv-defaults](https://github.com/mrsteele/dotenv-defaults), which is how we also supply and load `.env.defaults`.
+
+
+
+Redwood also configures Vite, so that all references to `process.env` vars on the Web side will be replaced with the variable's actual value at build-time. More on this in [Web](#Web).
+
+## Web
+
+### Including environment variables
+> **Heads Up:** for Web to access environment variables in production, you _must_ configure one of the options below.
+>
+> Redwood recommends **Option 1: `redwood.toml`** as it is the most robust.
+
+In production, you can get environment variables to the Web Side either by
+
+1. adding to `redwood.toml` via the `includeEnvironmentVariables` array, or
+2. prefixing with `REDWOOD_ENV_`
+
+Just like for the API Side, you'll also have to set them up with your provider. Some hosting providers distinguish between build and runtime environments for configuring environment variables.
+Environment variables for the web side should in those cases be configured as build-time variables.
+
+#### Option 1: includeEnvironmentVariables in redwood.toml
+
+For Example:
+
+```toml title="redwood.toml"
+[web]
+ includeEnvironmentVariables = ['SECRET_API_KEY', 'ANOTHER_ONE']
+```
+
+By adding environment variables to this array, they'll be available to Web in production via `process.env.SECRET_API_KEY`. This means that if you have an environment variable like `process.env.SECRET_API_KEY` Redwood removes and replaces it with its _actual_ value.
+
+Note: if someone inspects your site's source, _they could see your `REDWOOD_ENV_SECRET_API_KEY` in plain text._ This is a limitation of delivering static JS and HTML to the browser.
+
+#### Option 2: Prefixing with REDWOOD\_ENV\_
+
+In `.env`, if you prefix your environment variables with `REDWOOD_ENV_`, they'll be available via `process.env.REDWOOD_ENV_MY_VAR_NAME`, and will be dynamically replaced at build-time.
+
+Like the option above, these are also removed and replaced with the _actual value_ during build in order to be available in production.
+
+
+### Accessing API URLs
+
+Redwood automatically makes your API URL configurations from the web section of your `redwood.toml` available globally.
+They're accessible via the `window` or `global` objects.
+For example, `global.RWJS_API_GRAPHQL_URL` gives you the URL for your graphql endpoint.
+
+The toml values are mapped as follows:
+
+| `redwood.toml` key | Available globally as | Description |
+| ------------------ | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `apiUrl` | `global.RWJS_API_URL` | URL or absolute path to your api-server |
+| `apiGraphQLUrl` | `global.RWJS_API_GRAPHQL_URL` | URL or absolute path to GraphQL function |
+
+See the [redwood.toml reference](app-configuration-redwood-toml.md#api-paths) for more details.
+
+## Development Fatal Error Page
+
+```text title=".env"
+REDWOOD_ENV_EDITOR=vscode
+```
+
+Redwood comes with a `FatalErrorPage` that displays helpful information—like the stack trace and the request—when something breaks.
+
+> `FatalErrorPage` isn't bundled when deploying to production
+
+As part of the stack trace, there are links to the original source files so that they can be quickly opened in your editor.
+The page defaults to VSCode, but you can override the editor by setting the environment variable `REDWOOD_ENV_EDITOR`.
+
+## API
+
+### Development
+
+You can access environment variables defined in `.env` and `.env.defaults` as `process.env.VAR_NAME`. For example, if we define the environment variable `HELLO_ENV` in `.env`:
+
+```
+HELLO_ENV=hello world
+```
+
+and make a hello Function (`yarn rw generate function hello`) and reference `HELLO_ENV` in the body of our response:
+
+```jsx {6} title="./api/src/functions/hello.js"
+export const handler = async (event, context) => {
+ return {
+ statusCode: 200,
+ body: `${process.env.HELLO_ENV}`,
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Navigating to http://localhost:8911/hello shows that the Function successfully accesses the environment variable:

+
+### Production
+
+
+
+
+Whichever platform you deploy to, they'll have some specific way of making environment variables available to the serverless environment where your Functions run. For example, if you deploy to Netlify, you set your environment variables in **Settings** > **Build & Deploy** > **Environment**. You'll just have to read your provider's documentation.
+Some hosting providers distinguish between build and runtime environments for configuring environment variables. Environment variables for the api side should in those cases be configured as runtime variables.
+
+## Keeping Sensitive Information Safe
+
+Since it usually contains sensitive information, you should [never commit your `.env` file](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv#should-i-commit-my-env-file). Note that you'd actually have to go out of your way to do this as, by default, a Redwood app's `.gitignore` explicitly ignores `.env`:
+
+```plaintext {2}
+.DS_Store
+.env
+.netlify
+dev.db
+dist
+dist-babel
+node_modules
+yarn-error.log
+```
+
+## Where Does Redwood Load My Environment Variables?
+
+For all the variables in your `.env` and `.env.defaults` files to make their way to `process.env`, there has to be a call to `dotenv`'s `config` function somewhere. So where is it?
+
+It's in [the CLI](https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/packages/cli/src/index.js#L6-L12)—every time you run a `yarn rw` command:
+
+```jsx title="packages/cli/src/index.js"
+import { config } from 'dotenv-defaults'
+
+config({
+ path: path.join(getPaths().base, '.env'),
+ encoding: 'utf8',
+ defaults: path.join(getPaths().base, '.env.defaults'),
+})
+```
+
+Remember, if `yarn rw dev` is already running, your local app won't reflect any changes you make to your `.env` file until you stop and re-run `yarn rw dev`.

+description: Redwood makes building forms easier with helper components
+---
+
+# Forms
+
+Redwood provides several helpers to make building forms easier.
+All of Redwood's helpers are simple wrappers around [React Hook Form](https://react-hook-form.com/) (RHF) that make it even easier to use in most cases.
+
+If Redwood's helpers aren't flexible enough for you, you can use React Hook Form directly. `@redwoodjs/forms` exports everything it does:
+
+```jsx
+import {
+ useForm,
+ useFormContext,
+ /**
+ * Or anything else React Hook Form exports!
+ *
+ * @see {@link https://react-hook-form.com/api}
+ */
+} from '@redwoodjs/forms'
+```
+
+## Overview
+
+`@redwoodjs/forms` exports the following components:
+
+| Component | Description |
+|:------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| ` |
