⚡️ Full-stack type-safe pnpm monorepo with NestJS, NextJS & tRPC

This an accompanying repo to this tutorial which covers how to build a full-stack, end to end type-safe pnpm monorepo with NestJS, NextJS 13 (using the new /app directory) & tRPC.

I have fallen in love with this tech stack as the developer experience is SO good! I'm pretty sure you will too 😉.

In particular, I love that:

• It's fully end-to-end type safe
• The tRPC server is fully integrated into NestJS, so you have access to all of NestJS's wonderful functionality like dependency injection
• Fits really well with the NextJS 13 transition to server side rendering
• It keeps the frontend(s) and backend project seperate, but seamlessly working together in the monorepo

I also wrote this tutorial as many people in the NestJS community are curious on how to use tRPC with NestJS!

The only pre-requisites for this tutorial is that you'll need pnpm and the NestJS CLI installed on your machine.

Give it a spin:

First make sure you add an .env.local file inside the web app with the following variable:

NEXT_PUBLIC_NESTJS_SERVER=http://localhost:4000

Then install the dependencies:

pnpm install
pnpm dev       # starts local server for both frontend (NextJS) and backend (NestJS)
