Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/devaungphyo/turbo-npn.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd turbo-npn

Install dependencies using pnpm:

pnpm install

Getting Started To start the development server, run:

pnpm dev

This will start both the NestJS backend and the Next.js frontend in development mode.

Backend (NestJS)

The backend is powered by NestJS, with TypeORM configured to use PostgreSQL. JWT access token and refresh token authentication is implemented for secure API access. Nodemailer is used to handle email services.

Frontend (NextJS)

The frontend is built with NextJS v15, styled with shadcn/UI components. It is optimized for server-side rendering and frontend authentication. Micro-Frontend with Turborepo Using Turborepo, the project supports a micro-frontend architecture, enabling shared libraries and configurations across apps.

To Add New UI Components to the UI Package

cd packages/shadcn

Then run the following command:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add

This will add the latest version of shadcn to the UI package.

If you got an error in the UI package, change the import path

// form
import { cn } from '@repo/lib/utils';

// to
import { cn } from '@repo/shadcn/lib/utils';
