Prerequisites

To run the application locally, there are a couple of things that you need to have installed:

Node.js

In order to run the project, you will need to have Node.js installed. We recommend installing it through nvm. You will need Node.js version 20.11.0 or higher.

yarn

We use yarn as our package manager. You can install it by running npm install -g yarn.

Docker Desktop (optional, but recommended)

We utilise docker to run the Postgres database locally. You can install Docker Desktop from here. This is not a requirement, but we recommend always running a database in a container - and as such, we assume that you have Docker installed in the instructions below.

Flowcore Account

Because the app uses Flowcore as its backend, you will need to set up a free account at Flowcore. You can read up on the basics here

Flowcore CLI

To improve the development experience, we use the Flowcore CLI. This tool is used for both scaffolding the project on your flowcore account, as well as stream the data from flowcore to your local database. Run the following to install the flowcore cli:

npm install -g @flowcore/cli

Clerk

The application uses Clerk for authentication. Therefore, you need to create an account and create a new Clerk application, followed by obtaining the environment credentials that connects this project to your clerk application.

Tenants

Your tenant is part of the url when you go to your organization in the Flowcore Platform. For example, if you go to https://flowcore.io/flowcore, then flowcore is your tenant. You can also see the tenant where you select between your active organizations in the top left corner of the UI.

Run the project locally

• Clone the repository
• Scaffold the project into your flowcore account:

To run the application locally, you will need to create the datacore and scenarios required for the application to work. You can use the Flowcore CLI to create the datacore and scenarios, or you can use the Flowcore Platform to create them manually.

then copy the flowcore.local.example.yaml file to flowcore.local.yaml and fill in the missing information. Then you can run the following command to spin up an environment for development:

yarn flowcore:dev

this will create the required resources in the Flowcore Platform, inside your tenant.

Requires the Flowcore CLI version 2.5.0 or higher. Production can be created with yarn flowcore:prod The command that is run under the hood for dev is flowcore create -f flowcore.yaml -f flowcore.local.yaml

• Run yarn to install the dependencies

• Start a PostgreSQL server. You can run yarn docker:db (requires Docker)

• Copy the file .env.example as .env and fill in the missing information

• Add the two environmental variables NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY and CLERK_SECRET_KEY to the .env file. You can find the instructions here.

• Run yarn db:push to create the database tables: Because of how Flowcore works, we do not need to consider database migrations. The databases are purely populated from the flowcore platform, hence why we can wipe the database whenever we want to make a change with no worry.

• Run yarn dev to start the development server

• Run yarn local:stream -s now to start streaming data from Flowcore to your local instance

• You can access the app by browsing to http://localhost:3000

The first user to login gets admin privileges.

Note: The -s now flag is used to stream from now on. If you want to stream from a specific time, you can use the -s 1d flag. Consult the flowcore docs for more information.

Note: The local:stream command uses the flowcore.local.development.yaml file to configure what streams to start and where to send the events for each stream. You can read more about the configuration here
