To get started with Tripwise, follow these steps:
-
Install Dependencies: First, you need to install the necessary dependencies. Run the following command in your terminal:
npm install
This command will install all the packages listed in the
package.jsonfile, including essential libraries such as:- Next.js: A React framework for building server-side rendered applications.
- Next-safe-actions: A library for handling safe server actions in Next.js applications.
- Kysely: A type-safe SQL query builder for TypeScript, used to interact with our single PostgreSQL database.
- OpenAI: For integrating AI capabilities into the application.
- Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework for styling.
-
Set Up Environment Variables: Create a
.envfile in the root of your project and populate it with the necessary environment variables. You can use the provided.env.sampleas a reference. You'll have to create an account in some third part libs (as OpenAI and Resend), but they all have free-tiers for local development. Also, you'll need a Postgres client running. -
Run the Development Server: After installing the dependencies and setting up the environment variables, you can start the development server with:
npm run dev
Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the application in action. The application leverages React Server Components (RSC) and server actions from Next.js 15 to enhance performance and user experience.
