For more information, see driftdb.com.

Local Development

TypeScript libraries

To prepare the environment, install the dependencies and run a turborepo build:

# from repo root
cd js-pkg
npm i
npm run build

To run demos, run:

# from repo root
cd js-pkg/apps/demos
npm run dev

To test the TypeScript libraries, first run a local development server:

# from repo root
cargo run -p driftdb-server

Then, with the local development server running:

# from repo root
cd js-pkg/apps/tests
npm test

Server

Server development requires the Rust toolchain (including cargo) to be installed. Developing and deploying the driftdb-worker (Cloudflare worker) also requires Cloudflare's Wrangler tool.

To run tests:

# from repo root
cargo test

To run a local development server:

cargo run -p driftdb-server

For instructions on driftdb-worker, see driftdb-worker/README.md.
