- Node.js v16, Yarn package manager
- Local or remote instance of PostgreSQL (see Postgres.app, Google Cloud SQL)
- VS Code editor with recommended extensions
Just clone the repo and run yarn setup
followed by yarn start
:
$ git clone --origin=seed --branch=main --single-branch \
https://github.com/kriasoft/relay-starter-kit.git example
$ cd ./example # Change current directory to the newly created one
$ yarn install # Install project dependencies
$ yarn setup # Configure environment variables
$ yarn db:reset # Create or update PostgreSQL database
$ yarn api:start # Launch GraphQL API and authentication server
$ yarn web:start # Launch React/Relay front-end app
The API server must become available at http://localhost:8080/api.
The web application front-end must become available at http://localhost:3000/.

In the case when you kept the original Node.js Starter Kit git history, you can always pull and merge updates from the "upstream" repository back into your project by running:
$ git fetch seed # Fetch Node.js Starter Kit (upstream) repository
$ git checkout main # Switch to the main branch (or, master branch)
$ git merge seed/main # Merge upstream/master into the local branch
In order to update Yarn and other dependencies to the latest versions, run:
$ yarn set version latest # Upgrade Yarn CLI to the latest version
$ yarn upgrade-interactive # Bump Node.js dependencies using an interactive mode
$ yarn install # Install the updated Node.js dependencies
$ yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks vscode # Update VSCode settings
