|
|
|
|
* Shared logic and UI libraries
|
|
* Centralized tooling configuration
|
|
* Turbo-powered task orchestration and caching
|
|
* Native desktop distribution with auto-updates
|
|
* Dedicated documentation & component playground using Storybook
|

## 🚀 Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Ensure your local environment matches the following versions to avoid compatibility issues:
|
|
|
|
* **Node.js**: `v20+` (tested with `v24.11.1`) — required for the `--import tsx` flag used by the desktop prebuild script
|
|
* **pnpm**: `v8.15.6`
|
|
(Enforced via the `packageManager` field in `package.json`)
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Install all dependencies from the **root directory**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🛠 Usage & Scripts
|
|
|
|
This repository uses **Turborepo** to orchestrate tasks efficiently. All commands are executed from the root.
|
|
|
|
### Development
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `pnpm dev` | Start **all applications** (`web` and `docs-dev`) in parallel |
|
|
| `pnpm dev:web` | Start only the **Main Web App** (usually at `http://localhost:5173`) |
|
|
| `pnpm dev:docs-dev` | Start **Storybook** for UI development (usually at `http://localhost:6006`) |
|
|
| `pnpm dev:desktop` | Start the **Web App + Electron** in parallel for desktop development |
|
|
|
|
### Building & Quality
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `pnpm build` | Build all apps and packages using Turbo cache |
|
|
| `pnpm build:web` | Build only the web application |
|
|
| `pnpm build:docs-dev` | Build only the docs-dev application |
|
|
| `pnpm build:desktop` | Build the web app, then compile the Electron app |
|
|
| `pnpm test` | Run unit tests (Vitest) across all packages |
|
|
| `pnpm lint` | Run ESLint across the workspace |
|
|
| `pnpm format` | Format code using Prettier |
|
|
|
|
### 🚀 Desktop Packaging & Distribution
|
|
|
|
To package the application into a production-ready installer, use the following commands from the **root directory**:
|
|
|
|
| Command | Platform | Output Artifact |
|
|
| ---------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| `pnpm package:desktop` | Current OS | Detects host OS and builds accordingly |
|
|
| `pnpm package:mac` | macOS | `.dmg` and `.zip` (supports x64 & arm64) |
|
|
| `pnpm package:win` | Windows | `.exe` (NSIS Installer) |
|
|
| `pnpm package:linux` | Linux | `.AppImage` |
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> **Build Sequence**: All `package:*` commands execute the following pipeline automatically:
|
|
>
|
|
> 1. **`turbo run build --filter=web`** — Compiles the React SPA into `apps/web/dist/`.
|
|
> 2. **`prebuild` hook** — Runs `node --import tsx scripts/copy-web-dist.ts`, which copies `apps/web/dist/` → `apps/desktop/web-dist/`.
|
|
> 3. **`electron-builder`** — Bundles `web-dist/` into the packaged app via the `files` and `extraResources` blocks in `electron-builder.yml`.
|
|
>
|
|
> You do not need to run these steps manually — they are chained via npm scripts.
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> **macOS Code Signing**: To build a distributable macOS app with Auto-Update support, you **must** have an Apple Developer Certificate and provide `CSC_LINK` and `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD` in your environment. Without code signing, macOS Gatekeeper will block the app and auto-updates will fail. See [AUTO_UPDATER.md](apps/desktop/docs/AUTO_UPDATER.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> **Cross-Compilation**: It is highly recommended to build for Windows on a Windows machine and for macOS on a Mac. Cross-compilation (e.g., building `.dmg` on Linux) may fail due to platform-specific toolchain dependencies. Use a CI matrix strategy (e.g., GitHub Actions with `runs-on: [macos-latest, windows-latest, ubuntu-latest]`) for multi-platform releases.

### Turborepo Caching
|
|
|
|
This repository uses **Turborepo caching** for builds, tests, and other artifacts.

|
|
|
To fully clean the workspace (dependencies, build outputs, and Turbo cache):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf node_modules **/*/node_modules .turbo **/*/.turbo dist **/*/dist out **/*/out web-dist **/*/web-dist release **/*/release
|
|
```
