Setup database

Create database and sync (creating tables).

cd server
./createDb.sh  # Assumes MySQL is installed with Homebrew
yarn sync-db

Run

Create two bash terminals (terminal 1, terminal 2). cd into the root of the cloned repo in both.

In terminal 1

cd server
yarn watch

In terminal 2

cd client
yarn watch

Setup VSCode (recommended IDE/Editor)

The config files (.vscode/) are included which formats on save and automatically attaches the debugger.

Install recommended extensions

• Prettier
• ESLint
• Debugger for Chrome
• GraphQL for VSCode

Debug client

Run watch from VSCode terminal.

cd client
yarn watch

Press F5 or click the green debug icon for Chrome launch configuration to attach.

Debug server

Run watch-debug from VSCode terminal. Debugger automattically attaches. See debugging in VSCode.

cd server
yarn watch-debug

Code generation

Repo uses graphql-code-generator. Client React components for GraphQL queries and mutations are automatically generated via the typescript-react-apollo plugin from the *.graphql files. Server relies on type generation via the typescript plugin. This code is automattically generated when running yarn watch for client and server. It lives in the /src/generated folder in both /client and /server.

Gotchas
