🛠️ Tech Stack

This project utilizes a modern, robust technology stack for both the client and server.

Category	Technology
Frontend	React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, Radix UI, TanStack Query, wouter, Lucide Icons
Backend	Node.js, Express, TypeScript, WebSocket (ws), Drizzle ORM, JWT, Bcrypt
Database	PostgreSQL
DevOps	Docker & Docker Compose, npm scripts, Vite & ESBuild for bundling

🏗️ Architecture Overview

The project is structured as a monorepo with a clear separation of concerns:

• client/: A modern React Single-Page Application (SPA) built with Vite. It handles all UI rendering and communicates with the backend via a REST API and a WebSocket connection.
• server/: An Express.js REST API server that manages business logic, authentication, and database interactions. It also hosts the WebSocket server for real-time communication.
• shared/: Contains code shared between the client and server, primarily the Drizzle ORM schema and utility functions. This ensures type consistency across the entire application.
• migrations/: Drizzle-generated SQL migration files for version-controlling the database schema.

Loading

🚀 Getting Started

You can run this project locally using either Docker (recommended for ease of setup) or by setting up the services manually.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• Docker and Docker Compose

1. Using Docker (Recommended)

This is the quickest way to get the entire application stack—including the database—up and running.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/MinSoTextStream.git
   cd MinSoTextStream

2. Set up Environment Variables: The project is pre-configured for Docker. No .env file is needed for the default Docker setup.

3. Build and Start the Services:

   docker-compose up --build -d

   This command will:

   • Build the app Docker image.
   • Start the PostgreSQL database service.
   • Start the application service.
   • Run database migrations automatically on startup.

4. Access the Application:

   • The application will be available at http://localhost:5000.
   • The PostgreSQL database will be exposed on port 5432.

5. Stopping the Services:

   docker-compose down

2. Manual Local Setup (Without Docker)

If you prefer to run the services on your host machine without Docker.

1. Clone and Install Dependencies:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/MinSoTextStream.git
   cd MinSoTextStream
   npm install

2. Set up PostgreSQL:

   • Install PostgreSQL locally or use a cloud provider.
   • Create a database (e.g., minsotext).

3. Set up Environment Variables:

   • Copy the example .env file:

     cp .env.example .env

   • Edit the .env file with your database connection string and a secure JWT secret:

     DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:123456@localhost:5432/minsotext"
     JWT_SECRET="your-super-secret-jwt-key"

4. Run Database Migrations:

   npm run db:migrate

5. Start the Development Server:

   npm run dev

   The application will be available at http://localhost:5000.

📜 Available Scripts

• npm run dev: Starts the development server with hot-reloading.
• npm run build: Builds the client and server for production.
• npm run start: Runs the production-ready build.
• npm run db:generate: Generates a new SQL migration file based on schema changes.
• npm run db:migrate: Applies pending migrations to the database.
• npm run db:studio: Opens the Drizzle Studio GUI to interact with your database.
