- Node v16.16.0

The project is a monorepo, meaning that it is a collection of multiple packages managed in the same repository. In the following steps you'll learn how to get the project up and running for development purposes.
- Get the mono repo from GitHub
git clone git@github.com:CrowdDotDev/crowd.dev.git
- Run the start script
cd scripts
./cli start
For hot reloading, you can run
cd scripts
./cli clean-start-dev
App will be available at http://localhost:8081
For more information on development, you can check our docs.
To optimize resource usage during development, we would suggest starting only the necessary services and leveraging hot reloading where applicable.
- Start the scaffold service, including the necessary components like the database, etc:
./cli scaffold up
This will set up the foundational services required for the project.
- If you are primarily working on the frontend but also need the API without hot reloading
DEV=1 ./cli service frontend up
./cli service api up
By selectively starting the frontend and API services without enabling hot reloading, helps reduce resource usage.
Feel free to adjust the commands based on the specific services you need for your development tasks.
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, please keep these rules in mind as you are working:
- All features or bug fixes must be tested by one or more specs (unit-tests).
- We use Eslint default rule guide, with minor changes. An automated formatter is available using prettier.
- In-code documentation is required for every function or class that is not self-evident.
- All new API endpoints that are relevant to the public API must have in-code documentation to generate OpenAPI specifications.
- The pipeline must pass.
If you need help with any sort of contribution, please feel free to reach out on Discord or book a contributor onboarding call.
