This project is a Medium-like but private blog application developed to practice and showcase my CRUD application capabilities. The project uses the latest tech stack, including Next.js 14 for the frontend, Hono.js for the backend, Cloudflare for deployment and edge functions, Prisma with PostgreSQL for the database, and Vercel for frontend deployment. For styling, I utilized ShadCN and Tailwind CSS, while Zod and TypeScript were used for type validation.

• CRUD Operations: Create, Read, Update, and Delete blog posts.
• User Authentication: Secure login and registration system.
• Type Validation: Consistent type definitions across frontend and backend using Zod and TypeScript.

• Frontend: Next.js 14, ShadCN, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Hono.js, Cloudflare
• Database: Prisma, PostgreSQL
• Deployment: Vercel (Frontend), Cloudflare (Backend)
• Type Validation: Zod, TypeScript

I plan to expand this application by using a monorepo structure and containers for better code management and scalability.

• Node.js (v20 or later)
• PostgreSQL

1. Fork and then Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/AnmolDotX/writy.git
    cd writy

2. Install dependencies: frontend & backend

   cd backend
   npm install
   
   cd frontend
   npm install

3. Set up the database:

   • Create a PostgreSQL and a Prisma accelerate database URL and update the DATABASE_URL with prisma accelerate and DIRECT_URL with postgresql url, in the .env file of backend.
   • In the frontend .env just paste the backend server url example http://localhost:8787

4. Run database migrations:

   npx prisma migrate dev --name name_of_migration
   npx prisma generate --no-engine

5. Start the backend server:

   npm run dev

This project follows an older approach of creating a common Zod module for both frontend and backend. This approach ensures that type validation for forms and APIs is consistent across the application.
