byteplink

This project was created with Better-T-Stack, a modern TypeScript stack that combines Next.js, Express, TRPC, and more.

Features

• TypeScript - For type safety and improved developer experience
• Next.js - Full-stack React framework
• TailwindCSS - Utility-first CSS for rapid UI development
• Shared UI package - shadcn/ui primitives live in packages/ui
• Express - Fast, unopinionated web framework
• tRPC - End-to-end type-safe APIs
• Node.js - Runtime environment
• Drizzle - TypeScript-first ORM
• PostgreSQL - Database engine
• Authentication - Better-Auth
• Biome - Linting and formatting
• Turborepo - Optimized monorepo build system

Getting Started

First, install the dependencies:

pnpm install

Database Setup

This project uses PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM.

1. Make sure you have a PostgreSQL database set up.

2. Update your apps/server/.env file with your PostgreSQL connection details.

3. Apply the schema to your database:

pnpm run db:push

Then, run the development server:

pnpm run dev

Open http://localhost:3001 in your browser to see the web application. The API is running at http://localhost:3000.

UI Customization

React web apps in this stack share shadcn/ui primitives through packages/ui.

• Change design tokens and global styles in packages/ui/src/styles/globals.css
• Update shared primitives in packages/ui/src/components/*
• Adjust shadcn aliases or style config in packages/ui/components.json and apps/web/components.json

Add more shared components

Run this from the project root to add more primitives to the shared UI package:

npx shadcn@latest add accordion dialog popover sheet table -c packages/ui

Import shared components like this:

import { Button } from "@byteplink/ui/components/button";

Add app-specific blocks

If you want to add app-specific blocks instead of shared primitives, run the shadcn CLI from apps/web.

Git Hooks and Formatting

• Format and lint fix: pnpm run check
