New and improved patient portal using workspaces!

Before we start, this project uses pnpm instead of npm.

pnpm is a fast, improved package manager. pnpm creates hard links from the global store to the project's node_modules folders. Hard links point to the same place on the disk where the original files are. You save disk space and it's faster than npm!

• /server
  • esno (alias of tsx) to build and develop the TypeScript server
  • fastify: Node.js framework to write beautiful async code
  • Prisma: the best experience working with databases while using a declarative schema
  • pm2: manage production node.js clusters and more easily
• /client
  • vue: one of the top frameworks to build web apps
  • auth0: easy user management and authentication
  • ag-grid: list tabular data with many features like sorting, filtering and more

Scripts

We utilize pnpm workspaces to better unify the CI/CD procedures for the front and backend.

• pnpm build: To run the builds of the TypeScript API server and Vue 3 front-end
• pnpm dev: To concurrently run the backend and front-end
• pnpm start: To run the servers from their production-built mode
• pnpm prisma:start: Generate the database from the Prisma schema and get it in sync

Getting Started

• Create the database finnitakehome in PostgreSQL.

• Install pnpm npm install -g pnpm.

• Run pnpm install to install all workspace package modules.

• Copy the .env.template env file from both client/ and server/ to their respective .env files and modify accordingly.

• Then run pnpm prisma:start to have your database in sync with the Prisma schema.

• Finally, run pnpm dev and you're good to go.

(Optional): Run pnpm run prisma:seed in /server to generate example data
