Developing

Overview of the Folder Structure

Extending https://create.t3.gg/en/folder-structure src/components/[division]/[component-name].tsx - Contains reusable UI code for chirps, users, layout, or general UI stuff. src/lib/** - Contains reusable code appropriate for other projects.

Running The Easy Way

1. Load the devcontainer defined in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json
2. Create a .env.local file with the appropriate environment variables (see .env.example)
3. Run the development task in VSCode

Running The Harder Way

Required tools (these are my versions, the app may or may not work on other versions):

2. Install dependencies: yarn
3. Start MySQL service: docker compose up
4. Set up the database: yarn prisma db push
5. Start the app: yarn dev
