Setup

Dependencies​

Before you start you will need the following:

Docker

Setting up the database for local development is currently a work in progress given that the Drizzle connector only supports connections to Vercel / Neon. The documentation will be updated with new instructions for using the Postgres Docker container.

You do not need Docker as of now.

Setup Instructions​

  1. Clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:sandboxnu/cooper.git
cd cooper
  1. Install the necessary dependencies.
pnpm install
  1. Configure the .env file by following the template in .env.example. See Environment File.

Environment File​

  1. Create a new file called .env or copy the .env.example and rename it to .env.
cp .env.example .env
  1. Complete the file to add your environment variables. These are the defaults for local development. Make sure that the docker container is running.
POSTGRES_URL='<url>'

AUTH_SECRET='supersecret'

AUTH_GOOGLE_ID=''
AUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET=''

Database​

While the Node Postgres work is in progress, the best way to get a Postgres database up and running that supports the existing database connection code would be through Neon.

  1. Sign in using your GitHub account
  2. Create a new Project
  3. Copy the Connection String. Make sure that Pooled connection is checked.

Authentication​

To generate AUTH_GOOGLE_ID and AUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET, see Setting up OAuth 2.0. Ensure that you set the value of Authorized JavaScript origins and Authorized redirect URIs to the appropriate URLs. To generate a new AUTH_SECRET, run the following command in your terminal and add it to the .env file.

openssl rand -base64 32
