March 2021 FG hack day app

A Next.js app with Prisma.

It follows Rails-like CRUD patterns for familiarity:

• prisma/prisma.schema overlaps with Rails' models and migrations. Some database-level validations (unique constraints and so on) can be defined here
• pages/api contains API endpoints that are conceptually similar to Rails controller actions.
• Everything else in pages is the view layer, which, in a React app, is where most functionality tends to be. Some include getServerSideProps functions that may either call API endpoints or the database directly to populate data pages need.

Developing

You need Node and npm installed.

npm i
npx prisma generate
npm run dev

It will be on localhost:3000.

Deploying it

Suitable for anywhere Next.js apps can run, including Netlify, Vercel and Heroku.

You can apply the schema to a fresh database with:

npx prisma push db --preview-feature

Configuration

It needs these configuration variables similar to these to be set. You can use a .env file locally.

DATABASE_URL=url://to/your/database
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000/api/auth/signin
